Which Atelier trilogy should you play?

By Jenni Lada // 6.17.196.16.19

There are a lot of Atelier games out there, and Gust keeps adding to the lineup with new installments in the main series and spin-offs to keep track of. It is a lot to deal with. Also, the major installments tend to come out in trilogies, which share storylines and sometimes gameplay mechanics. One line might not be as interesting for specific players, but another could be a perfect fit. So, instead of just going with recommendations of best or worst installments, let’s see if Michibiku can’t help you find certain trilogies that might fit your needs.

Atelier Lulua is a love letter to Arland trilogy fans

By Jenni Lada // 5.30.195.28.19

The Atelier series’ Arland trilogy was a memorable one. It came after a trilogy and a duo that felt more like traditional JRPGs at times and returned the series to a formula where more of the focus was on the actual creation of items and heroines attempting to better themselves. People grew attached to Rorona, Totori and Meruru, so much so that Gust and Koei Tecmo would return with slightly updated version. Now, ten years later, we go back again. This time, with Rorona’s daughter, Lulua. The result is a game that is a warm and inviting nook filled with all of the things people who enjoyed those original three games would appreciate.

Review: Atelier Lulua is the epitome of efficiency

By Jenni Lada // 5.22.199.2.19

Different installments in Gust’s Atelier series can find themselves known for different things. Atelier Firis was about getting more places to go. Atelier Sophie tries to make us realize why each recipe mattered. With Atelier Lulua: The Scion of Arland, it can feel like the theme is efficiency. That extends to alchemy, exploring a world, telling a story and offering an epilogue to one of the better known Atelier trilogies.
