This is all kinds of awesome

Unless the gameplay is godlike it's a no from me with these designs.
These scans going around, lol.
Atelier now new levels of lewd.
That 2nd main character design is beyond awful, but I already expected this somehow :/
Should've just keep Hidari. She's one underrated character artist out there.
Ateliers gameplay have always been more or less the same with the focus is on crafting stuffs. Sounds like you have never played Atelier game before.

Are those outfits preorder bonuses or standard dress now
I think this looks awesome.
Assuming I saw the right scan, Prafta is wearing her standard costume (lewd? I do agree) but I think Sophie's dress is quite cute actually.
Unless the gameplay is godlike it's a no from me with these designs.
I really hope they don't drop the awesome gameplay from Shallie and keep evolving it, they were close to make something truly amazing.
Hidari is great, just not otaku friendly I guess :\
But hey, it just one character. The other main character design completely aligned with the rest of the series aesthetic so it is fine.
have they shown the others from the back tho
I'd let it hit me.
The problem with Nay was that it wasn't even attractive in any way, just fucking stupid.Can't be any worse than Nay.
This week's Dengeki cover is Atelier Sophie
some info from the magazine. I am sure there will be better translation later, so this is just kinda temporary.
-It's not based on Dusk world
-when asked if this was a trilogy: "sorry can't comment"
-Day/night cycle will be shown in the environment. Day/noon/night, and also weather is in.
-there will be no 'specific things you must do in specific time'. It would cause stress to the users
-Sophie is not really good at alchemy compared to recent protagonists.
-You don't buy recipes anymore. You learn them through experience. Exploration, battle, events could lead to new recipes.
So happy to see this is the case. This drove me nuts in Totori and Meruru...
As for the lack of time system... lets just say they better do a better job than what Shallie's system was...
Is it funny that the thing I noticed is how great the laboratory flask looks with the liquid and smoke effects?
Have there actually been any battle screens of her yet? It'd be odd if she wasn't a usable party member given the, uh, giant armaments of smiting getup.
Don't think so, the famitsu scans a while back only had Sophie by herself and the new screenshots from in battle only have Sophie and the two characters that were just introduced. Speaking of the battle system, no sign of the switching mechanic yet but given that it's been in all the recent games and we still haven't seen more than three party members it's not that surprising... just me hoping they'll keep including stuff from the Mana Khemia battle system, sad that they haven't had anything to match it in all the Atelier games since.Have there actually been any battle screens of her yet?

I'm confused. The girl in the yellow outfit kinda looks like Sophie? Is she her sister, or is that actually Sophie and she has a separate battle/field outfit, or...?
Curious to see how the new alchemy system works. Gust hasn't really done any wrong in that department yet (though Rorona's OG system feels a bit antiquated now) so I have faith. The ability to customize the book/magical-girl's abilities/class could make battle more interesting, too.
Still not particularly fond of all the lewd. Feels real pandery.
These games always have great music and I'm glad to see that is still continuing with this one!Two new things to share! First some translations/explanations of the screenshots that were recently uploaded. Definitely excited to try out the new alchemy system. And apparently that new Sophie outfit is some kind of "special outfit" she gets to show that she's gotten better at alchemy, so maybe you don't get it for a while (though I still prefer the original design, hard to beat that coat).
And secondly! The official site has been updated with the third audio track, a nice laid back song.
