The “Atelier” series continues its successful run on the console as “Atelier Lydie & Suelle” launches soon. The new entry to the franchise will introduce us to two new alchemists called Lydie and Suelle Marlen. The twin sisters run a small atelier in the capital city of Merveille. While running their shop, the sisters find a mysterious painting that takes them to a different world.
Aside from these the twins reports recently revealed that more Characters will appear in the game. We will also take a look at game's new synthesis system.
Other characters
The first character introduced is Sophie Neuenmuller. According to the report, Sophie is a 24-year-old alchemist who was traveling around the world for a purpose. As a senior alchemist, she’ll be sharing her knowledge with the sisters in the story. Sophie is described to be a bit of an airhead at times, but her skill and talent in alchemy are almost on par with her teacher. Sophie has been a protagonist of her own story as she starred as the protagonist of her own game called “Atelier Sophie.”
Liane Mistlud is a 22-year-old Hunter who runs her own shop called “Lovely Firis.” In "Atelier Lydie & Suelle,” she sells items she finds on her hunt to help her younger sister’s store. Liane is a skilled hunter and has a calm demeanor.
She loves her younger Firis a lot and will tend to get a little rowdy when it comes to her. Liane is said to help the sisters in many ways in the story. Like Sophie, Liane was also from previous "Atelier" game.
The next character is Matthias Ferrier Adalet, a 23-year-old knight who can often be found in Mervielle. He’s quite playful and will even ask Lydie and Suelle for tea, However deep down he is a serious person.
According to the news, Matthias is rather mysterious, but will never hesitate to help the twins in battle.
Synthesis System
“Atelier Lydie & Suelle’s” synthesis system is described to be similar to a previous “Atelier” game. However, this new one seems to have a puzzle mechanic.
Players start by choosing ingredients to make an item.
After this, you can choose another ingredient that will bring special effect for that item. Players will notice a puzzle-like system that will lit up as they go along the synthesis.
Throughout the process, players can use “Activation Items.” These objects can help in synthesizing an item’s characteristics and effects.
“Atelier Lydie &Suelle” will launch for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PS Vita. It is scheduled to be released this winter.
