Atelier Yumia 1.2.0 update adds “Charisma” difficulty and building expansion, patch notes

Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land just received a new version 1.2.0 update, which is highlighted by a new “Charisma” difficulty and building expansion.

Charisma is the toughest challenge for players yet. When playing in that mode, enemy stats will be increased and supporting allies’ HP will slowly decrease when in combat within the manabound area.

New building materials are now available, including new Feature Modules such as the “Energy Sphere”, which allows players to restore their energy and the “Projector” that allows players to create shadows of previously defeated monsters. There’s also a new architectural style and matching furniture based on Ryza’s hometown, Kurken Island, from Atelier Ryza.

The full patch notes are as follows:
