Koei Tecmo and Gust held theAki no Atelier Matsuristream event on November 26. Nothing big was announced, but many pretty peculiar announcements were made nonetheless. Most notably thatRomance of the Three Kingdoms XIVis actually getting a collab withAtelier Ryza.
Koei Tecmo isputting Ryza absolutely everywhereto capitalizeon her successand I’m really looking forward to seeing how this will even work. No details were shared on stream. Will Ryza herself be included in the story with time travel? Will she appear as an alternate version of herself, as an actual Three Kingdoms general? Or will we get to see Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang crossdressing as Ryza while drinking tea? We’ll know for sure when Koei Tecmo share more information.
During the stream,Atelier Ryzaproducer Junzo Hosoi also mentionedAtelier Ryzahas so many players that for the first time, they received a lot of different feedback. They will upgrade the overall quality of theAtelierSeries to meet the expectations of all the new players who discovered the series withAtelier Ryza.Moreover, he mentioned how many players claimed they liked the bright atmosphere ofAtelier Ryza, which is themed around summer and youth. As such, upcomingAtelier Seriesgames will have similar uplifting themes.
Another interesting part of the stream is how we saw live gameplay for the upcomingAtelier Dusk Trilogy. They showed live gameplay ofAtelier Shallie: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea, in particular. You can watch the sequence at the timestamp linked below.
Lastly,Atelier Ryza’s character designer Toridamono, who was present on stream, mentioned he will be selling an exclusiveAtelier Ryzatapestry on his booth at Comiket 97 this December. The tapestry’s illustration, which I’ve included below, shows Ryza, Klaudia, and Lila at a hot spring in winter. Toridamono mentioned he got the idea for the illustration because no similar event happened in the game itself.
