Empel and Lila are back in Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy! Both are continuing their travel in search of “something”. Empel is surprised to see Tao’s growth spurt since the events of the previous game. However, Lila is worried about Lent’s “lifeless look”. It seems like an event of some kind has changed Lent.
On the other hand, ateliers in Atelier Ryza 2 are upgradable with the ability to re-arrange the area. There are two floors in an atelier so there’s plenty more space to work with compared to the previous game. Lastly, the Puni raising system is back and has a new leveling system within it.
*Update* More details about Atelier Ryza 2 have been revealed! This includes sub-characters, bonuses and more. Check it out below, courtesy of Gematsu:
New Artwork
Sub-Characters
The thrilling and emotional Japanese RPG Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy follows Ryza and friends as they set out in an all-new quest to discover the secrets behind the ancient ruins and the truth behind the lost legends inside the Royal Capital.
Joining Ryza on her adventure is the adorable and enigmatic creature known as Fi. Ryza and Fi become increasingly close throughout their journey, with the bond between the two deepening as they begin to live together. As Fi continues to grow, Ryza realizes that the creature possesses a mysterious power. Ryza eventually brings Fi to explore the ancient ruins, and when Fi behaves like it wants to go deeper into the unknown darkness, the party discovers a glowing crystal that seems to hold deeper meaning to Ryza’s new best friend.
While exploring the ruins, Ryza and Fi run into Empel and Lila, who initially helped guide Ryza in her adventures three years ago. In fact, Empel is the one who taught Ryza alchemy, while Lila remains one of the fiercest female warriors in the land. The pair continue their search for “something” special in the ruins. Could their search also help Ryza and Fi learn the secrets of the lost legends?
