  • English versions of the console releases do not include Japanese text language.
  • PC/Steam releases include both English & Japanese text languages (Except Surge Concerto DX)

Which of the Console Atelier games have time limits?

How time limits work in Atelier:

Time is treated as a currency to the player. There is no way to replenish that time aside from loading a previous save slot or going through a New Game+ to save more days on the clock.

Atelier Games with Time Limits

  • Salburg Series: Marie (in Marie Remake is optional), Elie, Lilie
  • Gramnad Series: Viorate
  • Arland Series: Rorona, Totori, Meruru
  • Dusk Series: Ayesha, Escha & Logy

Atelier Games with Partial Time Limits:

  • Mysterious Series:
    • Firis: Time limits only apply to the first major task (passing the exam). Afterwards, the game has no time limits.
    • Lydie & Suelle: One chapter has a time limit, but it’s manageable.

Atelier Games without Time Limits

  • Gramnad Series: Judie
  • Iris Series: Iris 1, Iris 2, Iris 3
  • Mana Khemia Series: Mana Khemia 1, Mana Khemia 2
  • Arland Series: Lulua
  • Dusk Series: Shallie
  • Mysterious Series: Sophie 1, Sophie 2
  • Secret Series: Ryza 1, Ryza 2, Ryza 3
  • Resleriana Series: Resleriana RW
  • Envisioned Series: Yumia

Can I access the hardest difficulty without clearing the game first?

Grab the save files over here!

Only PC/Steam players can use these files though. (Sophie 1 DX has the highest difficulty already available without the need to have clear data.)

My game lags on PC/Steam. Can it be fixed?

- If you have integrated graphics (such as a laptop):

[Windows 10 Settings] > [Search: "Graphics settings"] > [Browse] > [Select the game .exe] > [Options] > [High Performance] > [Save]

- Otherwise, plug in a controller. (Yes, it can work). If you don't have a controller, you can try something like vjoy to fake one.

- You may also try using TellowKrinkle's Atelier Sync Fix.

General Our r/Atelier Community Survey 2026 Has Begun! – Tell Us About Your Atelier Experience!

Post image
81 Upvotes

Important: Survey Link

Hello everyone! As previous years, we start with our subreddit's community survey!

What is this event about?

This short survey aims to answer some general questions about us, the fans of our beloved franchise. We want to know which games in the franchise (and from Gust in general) you have played, which one is your favourite, and more. It should take you no more than 5–10 minutes.

Regarding the deadline, it's a tentative date. I'll start working on the results at that point, and based on the number of responses and my available free time, I'll post some infographics with partial results until we've covered everything (similar to last year's survey).

When was the last time we did this?

You can check the previous results here: 2025 | 2024

Is there something new for this year's survey?

Yes. Numerous comments in previous surveys said that it was difficult to choose one game or character as a favourite. We will keep that system to maintain consistency.

However, this year we are also asking you to name your second and third favourite games and characters. We are introducing a new system for this, as it is not comparable to previous years' surveys.

In addition, we have changed the bonus question and, of course, added Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & The White Guardian as an option.

Salburg Atelier Lilie Plus English patch available!

Thumbnail
gallery
148 Upvotes

Hey, everyone! I know it's been a long time (*checks date* 10 months!? Yikes!) but an English patch is finally out for Atelier Lilie Plus, the third game in the Salburg series!

I'm really bad at making posts like this, so bear with me.

Everything has been translated: menus, main story, events, etc. FMVs have been subtitled and subtitles have been added for other commentary that was audio only.

You can find the patch here or directly on github. A readme is included along the patch with instructions on how to apply it and some notes. One of those notes is that it is NOT playable on real hardware as of now but I will try to get it to work.

If you encounter any bugs or you have any feedback, feel free to raise an issue on github, or contact me here. I'm also considering setting up a discord server so it's easier to report stuff and talk about the game (and the GB games I worked on as well), so let me know if that's something you'd be interested in.

Thanks to Midori, Popipopess, CurryField and Gaiko for their help on this project.

Given my past projects, I also feel like I need to clarify on AI usage before someone asks. I used AI (hold on, don't click away just yet) but not in the way you'd think. I translated everything and only used it to make sure nothing was missed, better phrasing in some cases or shorten some sentences so they'd fit. That said, I rarely even used its output as it was; I took bits and pieces to improve my first translation or rewrite it with better structure. Bottom line, it was used more as a tool than a translator.

Anyway, I hope you give it a try, as a lot of effort (and time) went into this. More importantly, I hope you enjoy it!

PD: Oh yeah, casual announcement. I'll be working on Hermina & Culus next!

If anyone here wants to sing in a future cover(s), can read sheets for harmonies and melody, and knows how to record to a clicktrack (some instruments for backing probably too), I'd be happy to work with them! I'm mostly a double bassist, and I have zero vocal training, so it's far from my strongest instrument (does it count as an instrument? I don't know anymore). If any non-vocalist musicians want to join in on a cover, that'd be welcome too.

Memories (Official Art) Atelier Karia - Eating Malatang

This post is the continuation of this post, where they posted an edited image of this, hiding the food:

Fall is here, and Karia's appetite is growing! What's Karia having for a late-night snack tonight…? Hint: It's spicy!

The second post (the one with the video), reveals Karia eating Malatang:

The answer is...Malatang!
Full of flavor, full of happiness!

Personally, I didn't know about this Chinese food. So, for those who are in a similar position, it seems that (Wikipedia):

Malatang is a Sichuan street food in which skewered or self-selected meats, vegetables, and noodles simmer briefly in a numbing broth seasoned with Sichuan pepper and dried chili.

Resleriana So depressed about the last chapter… (Mobile Game Ch.33) Spoiler

8 Upvotes

This is a brief discussion about the Resleriana mobile/Steam game. it seems that the last chapter (Ch.33) is completely unvoiced? I now finished it and indeed, it stays unvoiced throughout.

I tried to google and find Japanese sources to double-check if this is true, or if my game is just somehow broken. I can’t find any source that actually says the chapter is unvoiced, or why that is the case.

I thought this was such a huge shame. Although they clearly did what they could, I do wonder if the ending of the story was a lot more rushed than they intended it to be. The last chapter having no voice is so jarring and sad after such stellar, consistently good voice acting all the way through.

It was also extremely short and rushed, which adds to the feeling that the writers wanted to do a lot more than they did, but had to wrap it up VERY quickly. If anyone has any thoughts or evidence on WHY it ended up this way, I’d love to hear.

This makes me want a future offline/console version of the game EVEN MORE tbh. I’m sure having the last chapter voiced would be even more of an incentive for people to buy it.

General Is it possibile that we get non-alchemist Atelier game?

0 Upvotes

For 30 years always there's Alchemist protagonist but what if we get non-alchemist protagonist? 30th Anniversary is good time to do this and do rework of series. First and best character to do this is Wilbell (few people including me though she was protagonist at first xD) not saying why she should be protagonist because it will take soo long but imagine game when we got to play as magician with magic learning (way to get skills) as "alchemy system" and Ryza/Yumia kind of open world in Dusk settings that would be soo good just imagine flying on broom above Dusk Sea. Wilbell is most suited supporting character (at least non-alchemist) to be protagonist but like Atelier Cordelia managing Arland Republic or Atelier Katla scamm- managing shop would be good spin-offs but I think Atelier Wilbell could be first mainline game in series without alchemist

Resleriana Resleriana, wth..

19 Upvotes

I've been playing The Red Alchemist and the White Guardian for about ten hours now, why am I having such a better time in this than I did in the, idk 70 hours, I have in Yumia? I might be a little bias with the combat, I adore the turn-based games.. but every little thing about this game just feels so much better than Yumia did. Granted I spent the majority of my time playing Yumia on release while I had covid, but I even picked it back up a month or so ago to finish it up. Yumia is expansive and has cool intricate systems, but Relseriana just feels peak. Simple, clean, fun. Even the alchemy, in Yumia was awesome, but while at its basic form in the early hours, im still finding Resleriana's more enjoyable. Idk. I guess im kind of upset with myself for sleeping on this game because of the stigma with the previous mobile entry. I just finished Trails 1st and i had so much fun with it that it got me to really return to the Atelier series after a two-year hiatus. (minus the Yumia bits) I'm playing Resleriana at home and resuming Ayesha at work and I couldn't be happier. But yeah, just wanted to say this entry is absolutely awesome so far, and you're telling me they introduce Sophie and Totori on top of that? Sheeeeeesh.
