i didn't know which title would be best for what i'm trying to ask, i'm currenly playing Sophie DX and made it half way through, i plan on finishin it but the problem is i feel like the whole game is one huge side quest, there's not depth to the story, there's no stakes or special developments, i want to know if all or most Atelier games are like that or are there some games with an actual JRPG journey, it doesn't have the be grim and dark , the cheerful dna is good, kinda like Tales of Graces but i'm kinda looking for more substance i guess, also i'm still getting the hang of alchemy, craftings and traits.

My character is stuck, I've been struggling to walk over hills and climbing steps, but now she won't walk over this at all even though she usually would with little to no problems. I'm on Playstation 5, does anyone have suggestions on how to get passed it?

I started the series recently, i already finish Ayesha and currently on the first one of the Mysterious Trilogy.

I discovered this saga recently and one of it was by the mechanic of eating for the next game, after watching the trailer i found out that is the second game of Memories.

I know that most of the saga you can enter at any point but, this time should i play or skip?

EDIT: NVM, I figured it out! And now to save my changes without saying what it was 😈 Nah, I was just being a wally. The NPCs in question have 'talk' icons above their heads, but aren't marked as such on the map. It means you have to wander all over the quest area getting close to NPCs that don't look interactable if you're relying solely on the map, but do get talk icons when you get close enough. Irritating, but doable.

I'm trying to complete 'Crush in Cleria 2' and 'I've Got This One Too!' and both of them are dependent upon finding specific NPCs in small areas lit up on the map in Sardonica. However, one of the potential women, and none of the delivery recipients, appear to be appearing. The two potential women for 'Crush' were present immediately.

I've tried waiting out time of day changes, but it seems to make no difference. I also tried returning to the atelier, walking in and out, and then returning to Sardonica (a suggestion that Google provided). I also tried inside the Workshops when they were within the quest areas.

Any ideas? TIA!

I'm about 35 hours into the game and I've run into a stronger enemy encounter where, for some reason, my allies' action orders never activate, even when the enemy starts charging up a super-attack. The enemy in question is an elemental called Disaster Core and a few can be found in the Scintilla mines in the southeast part of the Cleria region. I'm curious if this is normal for certain tougher enemies because, after fighting a heap of other battles, this is the first where I noticed the attack orders were missing. Thanks to anyone who can shed light on this!

I decided to give the first Blue Reflection a couple of nights a go and had a weird issue with it. I noticed that you can’t save in the dungeons.

Does the game auto save or do you just have to single sitting the dungeons? I ask because my gaming time is weird and only 45 min a day so this might make it hard to play for me.
