Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana 2 coming Stateside.

I played the first Atelier Iris game, and I loved the art design, the battle system, and the alchemy system. I ended up beating the game, but I didn't really enjoy it. The storyline was just way too slow paced, and it was never really compelling. I felt like I was playing the game just to play it, and there was never any feeling of urgency to actually beat the game. I know many of you like the "laid back" atmosphere of the first game, but it really put me to sleep. The only reason I really beat the game is because I enjoyed the visuals and battle system. Is the second game any better than the first game, or is it still really "relaxed" and slow paced?

How do you do that!? :eep: I thought if you whip up something during a battle you can't use it afterward.

You just go into the menu (as the guy, Felt), go to Mana Items, and then you pick the "make mana items" option. You can only make items if the chick in Eden has made at least one. After that as long as you have enough, say fire mana elements, you could make as many as it will allow you. I can't believe you have been making everything from scratch, no wonder the game was pissing you off, noob! :p

Thanks, usually I don't overlook that sort of thing. :bang: Well, that takes care of the item problem, although AI2 still lacks Veola. Viese is not depressed/suicidal/cynical enough for my taste. j/k
