◆ Synopsis
'Liza's Atelier 2' is about three years after the previous work, and at the beginning, the memories of the previous adventure are told.



Liza, who trained as an alchemist in the village of Lasungboden on Kuken Island, is asked by Moritz, a leading figure in the village, to investigate a mysterious jewel.



In search of more clues, Liza comes to the royal capital Asura am Bart.



Liza overwhelmed by the economic scale different from the island



Tao and Boos, who also appeared in the previous work, were studying abroad in the royal capital. Tao, who was a boy who looks good in shorts in the previous work, looks tall and mature.



And Tao is a tutor, Patrizia, the daughter of a knight who lives in the royal capital.



With Patrizia's knack, Liza was able to accommodate a vacant property and set up an atelier in the royal capital.



You can see what the inside of the atelier of this work looks like in the following movie.

The interior of the atelier can be customized during the game. Not only does the design change, but the effect is activated in a small way according to the item that has been redesigned, so the appearance of the atelier has a great influence on the gameplay.



No matter how much such an atelier is 'cheap because it is a vacant property', it is a story of the market price in the royal capital where economic development is remarkable. It was said that they could lend it for free for a while, but when I checked the rent with Volker, Patrizia's father, it was too much for Liza, who had just emerged from a small island. However, Volker proposes a plan to make the rent free on the condition that 'make a bomb for

blasting with alchemy'.



Finally, it's time to show Liza the fruits of her alchemy.



Liza is an alchemist who can formulate different things from different materials. However, you can't make it without knowing the recipe in the first place. To do this, you need to spend SP to open up the skill tree and learn about new recipes. In addition, SP can be obtained by blending items and proceeding with archaeological exploration (described later).



By combining the ingredients collected according to the recipe you learned, you can create new items. The following movie is where you actually mix weapons.

And the recipe for 'blasting flam' requested by Volker looks like this. Categories and attributes are roughly written on each square, and we will put in materials that match that type. However, you may not be able to make it if you do not have the materials to put in. For example, in order to make a blasting flam, you need a material that is in the category of 'bomb', and you need to prepare a bomb as a material.



Therefore, first of all, we will prepare the most basic bomb, 'explosive sea urchin'. Ingredients and blended items have a status of 'quality', and the higher the quality of the ingredients, the higher the quality of the blended items. The quality of the explosive sea urchin made this time is fair.



And if you use this explosive sea urchin, you will be able to make a blasting flam. By not only mixing the ingredients properly, but also synthesizing them while considering the quality and characteristics of the ingredients, the finished item will be stronger or sell at a higher price.



The quality of the finished blasting flam is 77. The maximum is 100, so the quality doesn't seem to be bad.



When I delivered it to Mr. Volker immediately, it was very well received. The rent for the atelier is now free.



In order to live in the royal capital as an alchemist, it is necessary to fulfill the requests of those who are in trouble in the royal capital and receive rewards. Requests can be received on the bulletin board of the cafe in the school district of the royal capital.



Looking at the bulletin board, I received a request from an unrivaled mushroom lover to deliver '8 (mushrooms)'.



Items used for synthesis or collected by request, such as mushrooms and sea urchins, can be collected in the field.



If you collect and deliver a large amount of mushrooms that are more than enough ...



Superb mission complete. I got 110 calls as a reward.



Other requests are made by people in need in the city or at events, so we will actively handle them.



It's often difficult to figure out where and what kind of event will occur in an RPG, but in Ryza's Atelier 2, when moving from the world map to each area, the '?' Mark and the character's face icon will be used with whom. You can see at a glance if an event will occur.



Liza does more than just work as a help alchemist in the city. While proceeding with the investigation of the mysterious jewels requested by Moritz, we will embark on an investigation of the ancient ruins scattered around the royal capital with Tao who is enthusiastic about research.



In Atelier 2 of Liza, the concept of time and weather exists as in the previous work. Bright in the daytime ...



The nights are dim and the moonlight illuminates the area.



Before sunset, the area is dyed orange at sunset. Also, the weather is not always sunny and it may rain.



And, of course, the field is full of monsters. In order to collect and research, we must overcome the battle.



You can see what the battle of Liza's Atelier 2 looks like by watching the following movie.

The battle of Liza's Atelier 2 employs an ' active time battle system ' that allows both enemies and allies to select an action after a certain amount of time has passed.



The meter that shows the active time is displayed at the bottom right of the battle screen. The left side shows the active time of the ally, and the right side shows the active time of the enemy. When the character's face icon approaches the central weapon icon and overlaps, you can act. In other words, the closer the character is to the weapon icon in the center, the faster you can act.



When you make a normal attack, AP (action points) will be accumulated.



And you can use the skill by consuming the accumulated AP.



If you use more skills, CC (core charge) will be accumulated and you will be able to use items.



The following movie uses the created bomb flam to stab the enemy at the end. In order to use items, you need to actively use your skills and steadily accumulate CC. CC is also necessary to recover physical strength during battle, so it is especially important to think about how to use CC in battle.

Items used during battle must be set in 'Core Items' in advance. In this work, it is possible to register up to 4 items in one CC.



Also, during battle, 'action orders' such as 'give magic damage!' And 'give physical damage!' May fly from your friends. If you answer this action order, your fellow characters will use their powerful 'order skills'.



You can see how to actually defeat the enemy using the action order in the following movie.

In response to Tao's instruction, 'Give magic damage!', Liza unleashes the skill 'Blaze Rush' that deals magic damage.



Then, Tao activates the order skill 'Sword Technique / Flame Rabbit'. At the same time, 2 APs have been added as an action order bonus.



Flames burst from the twin swords that thrust into the ground and attack the enemy.



Liza and his group explore the ruins while defeating the enemy.



Tao's knowledge, as well as Liza and mysterious items, will uncover the mysteries of the folklore surrounding the ruins. At the ruins, memories that have remained since ancient times exist as light ...



It is necessary to unravel the mystery of the ruins by superimposing the memories of the ruins collected by touching the light with the tradition. In Liza's Atelier 2, unraveling the mysteries of the ruins scattered around the royal capital leads to the basis of the story.



The lovely mysterious little animal that Liza meets during her adventure is named 'Fee' and works with Liza. Apparently, Fee also has a lot to do with the ruins.



And the model of the character including Liza has also evolved from the previous work. In particular, Liza is now able to swim in the sea and climb cliffs. In the movie below, you can see the actions of the atelier, battle, and riser in the field.

In the atelier series with a history of more than 20 years, there was a pattern that 'the hero of the previous work appears as the master of the hero of the next work', but 'Atelier 2 of Liza' is the first work in the series 'the hero completely continues to cast' 'is. Therefore, some of the characters centered on Liza have no explanation in the settings, and there are some scenes that you can not understand unless you play the previous work. However, it is made so that you can enjoy it without any problems even if you do not know the previous work, and you can enjoy it more if you know the previous work.

The battle system and compounding system have also been renewed, making it possible to develop recipes centered on the skill tree, making it easier to grasp the occurrence of character events, and making it possible to use items continuously. It came to arrive. It seems complicated to hear 'alchemy + RPG', but it is an easy-to-understand system even for game beginners. Also, this time it was the PlayStation 5 version, so I was able to enjoy the power-up character model and battle effects.

The Liza atelier has been released for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. However, please note that the PlayStation 5 version has been discontinued as a package version and is only a download version.
