Koei Tecmo and Gust have offered up the latest details on Atelier Ryza 2, the sequel to a title that has shipped over 500,000 units worldwide. Today’s update covers the synthesis system, characters, and bonuses for buying early plus those that have save data from the previous game.<\/p>\n

Here’s the full rundown:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy, Ryza departs her peaceful hometown of Kurken Island to visit the bustling Royal Capital of Ashra-am Baird, setting up her own atelier shop while exploring the ancient ruins of the land. To uncover the mysteries that lurk within the ruins, Ryza will need to traverse her environment in entirely new ways — swinging, climbing, crawling, and even squeezing her way past a variety of obstacles. While some of these abilities may come easy to her, she\u2019ll need the help of the mystical \u2018Emerald Band\u2019 to allow her to swing across treacherous gaps, while the remarkable \u2018Air Drops\u2019 allow her to dive underwater as Ryza looks to uncover areas with a wealth of materials perfect for synthesis. <\/p>\n

Synthesis is a key part of Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy, as it allows Ryza to take the raw materials she finds in the field and craft them into incredibly useful items for battle, gathering and exploration. The \u2018Linkage Synthesis\u2019 system from Atelier Ryza has evolved with greater depth, enabling players to simply fill the Material Loops with the required ingredients to create everything from weapons and tools to medicine. In addition, the newly introduced \u2018Essence\u2019 feature now allows players to alter the elemental trait of an item during synthesis, and by altering the essence of a Material Loop the final item can take on brand-new qualities. The \u201cEvolution Link\u201d takes things a step further, as players will now be able to combine two fully synthesized items together and, depending on the items thrown into the mix, might uncover an extraordinary new item. <\/p>\n

While running her atelier, Ryza will reunite with her childhood friends Tao and Bos, while also meeting up with some new companions including the kind but reserved, Sherri Glaus; the aristocrat daughter studying under Tao, Partricia \u2018Patty\u2019 Abelheim; Patty\u2019s father and ex-knight to the royal family, Volker Abelheim; and the part treasure hunter part thief, Clifford Diswell.<\/p>\n

Along with the new gameplay and character details, KOEI TECMO also revealed that gamers who purchase a physical or digital copy of Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy during the first two weeks of release will receive an Early Purchase Bonus code for the Summer Fashion Costume Set. In addition, gamers who have save data from Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout will be able to unlock the Classic Costume Set, including outfits for Ryza and her friends from the previous title.\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
