Atelier Ryza details and screenshots – characters, Gathering Point Synthesis
Koei Tecmo and Gust have prepared an official set of details and screenshots for Atelier Ryza. Today’s update covers characters Empel, Bos, Lumbar, and Moritz, plus a bit about the Gathering Point Synthesis. Find the full rundown below, courtesy of Gematsu.
Empel Vollmer
– A wandering alchemist, with a wounded body and heart
– Visits Razenboden one day
– He has an extraordinarily investigative mind when it comes to the ruins and rents out a residence in the village in order to investigate them every day
– Contrary to his young appearance, he is mysteriously imposing
– His conduct is very adult-like
– Due to a past incident, he is no longer able to use high-level alchemy
Bos Brunnen
– The son from an influential family, always quarreling with Ryza
– The only son of the influential Brunnen family, which owns Razenboden Village’s water source
– He has a group of followers and picks a fight with Ryza and friends at every opportunity to try and show off his own strength and superiority
– He is arrogant and prideful, and strong in his own way, but his specialty is actually brain work
Lumbar Dorn
– An arrogant and cowardly follower to the arrogant Bos
– A loyal henchman who is always following Bos
– He sticks by Bos and makes fun of Ryza and friends
– The only genuine thing about him seems to be his loyalty to Bos
Moritz Brunnen
– An influential man who owns the village’s water source
– Bos’ father and an influential man
– He carefully raised Bos as his successor and spoils him most of the time
– He also works as the village manager and as a merchant, so there is no question to his skill
– Due to his overbearing and high-handed attitude, his reputation is not necessarily great
Become a Master Gatherer By Using a Variety of Tools
– When Ryza and the gang are adventuring in the field, there are some places you can investigate to gather items
– A variety of tools are available such as staffs, axes and scythes
– By using different tools in the same places, you can gather different materials
– Since there was a lot of luck involved with gathering in previous games, the system has been tweaked so you can “get the materials you are aiming for” by using different tools on the same gathering spot
– Ex: if you want to gather from a tree, “hitting it with a staff” will drop you some fruit, though “cutting it with an axe” will give you timber
– Using the variety of tools adds to the fun of gathering
– By using the staff, you can get abura fruits and uni
– By using the axe, you can get strong logs and eicheloa
– By using the sickle, you can get palma bark or burned-down palma bark
Create Your Own Gathering Points with the New “Gathering Point Synthesis” System
– New creation system
– Somehow, you can create a field on which you can gather materials by synthesis
– From snowy areas to rocky areas flowing with magma, these fields have a completely different atmosphere from the island on which Ryza lives
– More details about Gathering Point Synthesis in a future update
Scenery That Weaves Light and Darkness
– Ryza looks up at a tower that towers over its surroundings
– A light shines from the topmost floor, and a star-like glow can be seen on the trees that twine around the tower
– Beneath a starry sky, an adventure that she surely will not forget awaits
– A rocky area dotted with ruins, and where the mysterious tower can be seen in the back
– A road drizzling with rain, where sunlight shines through in the distance
– And a plaza filled with people living out their daily lives
– Circumnavigate this world together with Ryza and friends
