Koei Tecmo and Gust just published the second official trailer for Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land. Currently just a Japanese version has been published, but it may come out in English later – we’ll keep you posted.
The new trailer gives us a look at the battle system. We also have footage of the story, though again, that’s only in Japanese.
Here’s an overview of the game:
The Aladissian Empire once thrived on a certain continent, having achieved remarkable development through alchemy that kept other nations at bay. However, it met its end due to a sudden and mysterious cataclysm.
Time progressed, and several centuries later – Alchemy became known as a “dangerous art that brings destruction,” considered “evil” and “taboo” in this new era.
In this now forbidden and perilous land, a lone alchemist sets foot. Her name is Yumia Reisfelt. Three years ago, after losing her mother in an accident, Yumia discovered that she was from a family of alchemists and began to question many things.
Why was Aladiss destroyed? Why did alchemy become “taboo”? …Is alchemy truly “evil”?
Believing that all truths lie within the continent, Yumia embarks on a journey to uncover the lost history.
Atelier Yumia is a story about Yumia and her companions confronting their memories and, despite their uncertainties, forging ahead on the path they believe in.
Key Features
- Collect, combat, create: The journey with your companions will be filled with various “experiences”.
- Freely traverse the vast open field in all directions: This unknown land stretches across the length and width of the continent, and the player can forge their own path utilizing a wide range of actions and items.
- Battle: A captivating variety of actions with “range” and “items”
- In real-time combat, you’ll be tested on your ability to make split-second decisions.
- Utilize two types of attack ranges (“range”) and switch between skills to fight strategically.
- Additionally, synthesized items can transform into shapes such as swords or spears, which can be used to attack.
- Since these items are reusable, don’t hesitate to deploy them and drive away enemies that stand in your way.
- Synthesis: Manipulate the “mana” residing in materials to create new items based on recipes. The items you craft will exhibit powerful effects in various situations, such as exploration and combat. The strength of an item’s power depends on the materials used in synthesis, so select your materials carefully while assessing the power of the embedded mana.
- “Simple Synthesis” can be done on the field, opening pathways by making tools for exploration and making items that will help in battles and synthesis. Additionally, in “Building” you can build a base and customize it by crafting and arranging furniture to your liking.
