Yeah, that's a good point. I have played them before. Well Rorona and Totori anyway. I played a chunk of Meruru but I dropped it and I can't even remember why now. Life probably got in the way as it always does. I wasn't sure if they were direct ports or had anything added to them. Probably direct though, right? I do love the Arland trilogy and I find them relaxing even though they have time restraints unlike the later ones in the series.

Fingers crossed for a 40-50% off sale. That's my sweet spot for something that's $150!

How are the Atelier games on Switch? I love the Arland series and I have been waiting for the pack to go on sale. 15% currently but still a bit steep!

I noticed you are feeling deflated about World Of Light because of its map size. Yes, it is big, and it may seem daunting, but doing it in short bursts is the best option (and how I do it, at least)! Going battle after battle for hours on end will tire anyone out unless you have a lot of coffee and time on your hands.
Then again, it is entirely your choice! Just know that, no matter what, you can do anything and if you choose to take on the challenge, just know that you've got this! Keep being awesome, Haith!

lol I accidentally did the worlds out of order too. I was flying around and just landed in a world thinking it was the one I marked on the map but ended up being the harder higher level world. Oh well though it worked out fine, honestly the game is really easy even on Proud. Especially compared to other games in the series.

I think it's more that the possibility of a sequel completely rests on this game selling well. They're aware people are asking for it, but they've gone "well okay if this sells well we'll SERIOUSLY consider it". Kinda like what Capcom pulled with SF2 Ultra. Considering what's on offer I can't say things look promising. But we'll see how it goes.

You're fired.

Yeah I've looked into a few impressions since and the motion controls do not sound promising. It sounds like a kind of lazy port of the mobile version. So yeah, it's probably better to grab a stylus and play it in handheld mode for ease of use in combat.

I'll probably give it a miss. I really enjoyed the original but the price tag is a bit steep for what's on offer here. But as a first timer you should enjoy the story, I reckon.

Gonna need impressions on TWEWY Final Remix on my desk by Monday. kthx.

But seriously let me know how it feels to play when you get a chance. Been curious about how they handled the port since the original was so touch screen heavy.
