Recently, Nintendo Everything spoke with Atelier Ryza producer Junzo Hosoi and one of the topics we discussed was what it’s been like working with Switch. Hosoi commented on the challenges involved, stating:

Atelier Ryza producer explains why Gust took a more realistic approach with the art style

When Atelier Ryza was announced, fans quickly noticed that the game looked quite different from past entries. This time around, Gust is employing a more realistic look. We recently spoke with Atelier Ryza producer Junzo Hosoi to learn more about that decision.
Since Atelier Ryza is a landmark title given how it’s an entirely new entry in the franchise free of past connections, the team felt that making an adjustment with the visuals would make sense. The developers “really looked at the lighting and the shadows and the graphical elements.” It’s also the first major change since the Arland series.
Hosoi’s full words:

Koei Tecmo and Gust have detailed a new Digital Deluxe Edition for Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout.
Those who buy the game will receive costume sets “Another Fashion” and “Summer Style”, featuring 15 new clothing options from Lent’s Gothic Wolf look to Tao’s Island Explorer gear. Players will also be given “Pixie Forest” and “Lakeside Hideout” items that can be used in remodeling their secret hideouts. They offer special effects like raising certain allies’ abilities during the rain.
Two special gathering items are also planned: special wind shoes to help increase movement speed, and a bigger knapsack to increase item gathering capacity. That’s on top of 100,000 gems that can be used for rebuilding.
As one final note, fans who purchase any version of the game before November 12 will receive the early purchase bonus of Ryza’s Summer Adventure costume.
