Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy - Nintendo Switch

You like JRPG’s, crafting world building, and more character development from the first game, this definitely pick it up.

I am enjoying Atelier Ryza 2 a lot more than the first game. The story will start out rather slow, but it will pick ups. Graphics- Overall they look pretty good. Some of the textures look fairly low-resolution, even in docked mode. Nothing too major. Exploration feels like it gives you much more freedom in Atelier Ryza 2. You can jump and fall off of ledges instead of dealing with invisible walls and even jump on ledgers. You can swim, you can climb walls of vines just so much options. It feels more free but it is not as open. The tree system is great. You can unlock some core recipes. It also lets you level up your gathering skills to get more materials, higher quality materials, and the ability to morph recipes. As you go on you will be able to use it for much more. In Atelier Ryza 2, combat feels much livelier and closer to real-time combat even though you still have to wait your turn. Im use to static enemies and taking turns. Takes some getting use to. Overall it improves on the first game

Atelier Ryza was my gateway game into the Koei Tecmo atelier JRPG series and I have been hooked ever since. Atelier Ryza 2 improves upon an already fun and beautiful first game. Easily one of the best series for the switch. Highly recommend!

My copy of the game arrive on time and I'm having a blast so far. The game is an improvement from the previous entry with its beautiful graphics, qualitity of life additions.

Yes, this game is HEAVILY anime influenced in it's dialogue and story. Yes, the main character's thighs are talked about a lot. But, don't pass on this game because of that. This is a fun RPG that has a really fun and flashy battle system. While the battle system alone is addicting enough to command a purchase, this game is part of the Atelier series of games, so it has a heavy focus on alchemy. And the alchemy in this game is extremely addicting. You collect material (from the environment and monster loot drops) that you use to create new items (medicine, alchemy ingredients, plant seeds, accessories, armor, new weapons, etc). The more you level up and progress, the better material and ingredients you can make, and the better items you can craft to equip to your character. The story is very charming and 'cozy'. It's almost like a comfort food. And the art style, though very anime, is vibrant and lively. One thing to point out: This game's voice overs are in Japanese and that's the only option. The captions and all the text in the game will be in English. Be aware if this bothers you.

This is my second Atelier game, and the first one was surprisingly fun. This game is more of the same so far. I would recommend if you were a fan of the first game, or if you are a die hard jrpg person. If you only play Final Fantasy then this may not speak to your interest. Also if you are a dubbed voices person, please be mindful that all of the voice options are Japanese though the text and menus are fully english.

Better than the first game. More things to do and more characters. Improved combat system

Very good JRPG. Looks pretty good on the switch, and hope to see future installment.
