Having recently wrapped up Atelier Ryza — fantastic, by the way — and fully buying into the hype surrounding its upcoming sequel, I decided to dive into another handful of Atelier games on Switch.
Although I see its inaugural title, Atelier Ayesha, as an overall improvement over the previous Arland games, it still lacks the tools necessary to be an exceptional experience through and through. Atelier Ayesha centers around an apothecary named Ayesha and her struggles to find her sister, Nio, who vanished without a trace years ago.
One day, Ayesha sees a ghost-like image of her sister, fortunately, in the presence of an extremely knowledgeable but equally mysterious alchemist named Keithgriff. The seasoned alchemist claims that Ayesha only has three years to find Nio or she may be forever lost in her ghost-like state. Ayesha struggles to come to grips with the actual terminology, but her apothecary processes are actually, in fact, those of an alchemist; a seemingly lost art that once served as the cornerstone of discovery and productivity in a bygone era.
Atelier Ayesha starts out strong narratively with a high stakes, clear mission in mind, supplemented by an array of interesting support characters. As the months roll by, however, you begin to see flaws in the design, especially when it comes to the cohesion of the supporting characters within the primary arc. One would expect some form of connection between all characters when it comes to the primary task at hand — finding Nio — but it feels more like Ayesha is alone in the task save for a couple of key supporting characters.
Even so, the ending I experienced was adequate enough for me not to dislike the narrative either. Atelier Ayesha continues the trend of multiple endings that I, for one, am glad has been moved away from in more recent entries. It is more or less designed to be played multiple times over if you want to see everything, which in itself can be a good or bad thing depending on your tastes and patience.
Thankfully, Ayesha has a great cast to help support its relatively weak story. Most older Atelier games including this one are very much resource management affairs. Alchemy is still technically king here, but exploration plays a more important role than it did in some of the previous entries. Crafting feels more streamlined here than the earlier Arland titles — in some ways, even Ryza — but still offers plenty of depth.
Gathering materials from nodes on the field or from combat can be used to fuel recipes for a wide variety of goods. Individual ingredients come with their own properties and traits, which can be carried over to the finished goods when certain conditions are met. Recipes are fueled by CP, with each required material assigned a certain number of points that it deducts from your overall CP pool when thrown into your alchemy cauldron for synthesis.
As your alchemy level increases, Ayesha will be able to take advantage of more complicated recipes and leverage special synthesis skills, such as duplicating the elemental properties of items making it easier to get superior versions of the finished goods , and more. As an alchemist, Ayesha can use many of the items she creates in-combat, but surprisingly cannot create weapons and armor. Instead, gear is found primarily through monster drops and treasure chests and are usually discovered in an unidentified state.
Simply put: if you can coast through the majority of the game in starting gear upgraded, of course , then there might be a problem with your equipment system. There are some superbosses beyond that that are certainly not for the faint of heart, too, and though you may run out of time to efficiently take them down on your first run, New Game Plus may ease the burden a bit in your next attempt.
Despite difficulty woes, the turn-based combat is still enjoyable. Ayesha has access to a basic attack and items, while supporting characters use skills in place of the latter. Furthermore, powerful special attacks become available for each character that can help turn the tide of more difficult battles.
