Atelier Rorona 7 hour game play review ~

Have played about 7 hour. Until first year 22 September of the game time~

Get quest, search for the material, create item, give item and complete quest.
The game is about the cycle of above things.
Althought it is simple, but this very good and interesting game and i really like it~

In the game, Rorona will get a quest from the country every every 3 month, and have to done well on the the quest within 3 month, otherwise the Atelier will be close down and Game Over. And because of the time limit of the county quest, player have to focus the job on that quest and can not use too much time on increase the friendship with fried or go to search for material or create other item or other things.
But actually country quest dont need many days to clear, if you only aim for the pass of the quest. But in the country quest have many start mark as how is your evaluation on this quest, and i always want to fill up all the star so need many days and material in the game to do that, lol = =

One things i dont like on the country quest is, the evaluation of you is not depand on the quality of the item you make, but the quantity of the item you gave = =. Item quality is not important in the country quest .
At the time i write this things, the country quest i doing in the game having 3 evaluation. Quantity of item you give, quality of item you give, and the type of item you give.
Quantity of item , the more item you give the higher the evalution you have
Quality of item, item quality not really have to be good, since the more item you give also will increse this...
Type of item, not really know what is this means, i have try to use different material to create item and pass them up, but the evalution still did not change at all...really dont what is this means


and then the main points of the Atelier series, create item
ofcouse Atelier Rorona still is focus in create item.
in Atelier Rorona, the item having some new state, item quality, item property and item effect. And this really a good points let Atelier Rorona become more interesting, complicated and difficult in creating item, LOL.

Item quality, quality of the item, the higher the quality higher the effect of the item, example some big rock in the duengon only high quality bomb can clear them, low quality bomb dont have enough power to blow it off.

Item property, have many many type of item property in the game. Some is useful ,some is bad, and some dont have actual effect like "light", "weird", "good smell" and many others. Some property combine together will create new property on the item. These things is really complicated , lol.

Item effect, mainly only appear on the item that can be use. But also appear in some material that use to create equipment. Effect determine how well the item works. The material that use to combine will effect what is the Effect is. Example the cannon having the effect like "六尺弹", "一尺弹" and others, the effect it appear on the item determine how well its power is.

And the quality of some item will decrease by the flow of the time, mainly will have such things at the type of item like food. And also some item will increase their quality automaiticly.

If want to create high quality item, have to use good quality material to create it.
But at the time i write this, it is really hard to find the high quality material = =. But have some high quality can buy from shop like "water" , "salt". Will be very good when create some item. And also can use ticet to change some good quality material .

Battle, did not encouter any boss yet, and easy to defeat the normal monster.
And the power of the item will be very big .

But that is one thins i feel troublesome on the game, player only can give the item that in the basket. Can not just directly give from the container, have to go back and take out the item from container.


This is a good game, but just not the type of game that every people will like it~


others, see from the notice at the official site, looks like this game having some very big bug ?

  2. hmm, i did not play mana khemia II before, so dont know is it .

    but at Atelier Rorona evaluation only appear in quest from country, and not really a important points in game.
    But the alchemy system new things let player have reason to create many or just create 1 or 2 at a once, because of the item quality , property, and effect. more material to have more property, but it might let quality become lower cause some material not easy to find the high quality one.

    yup, i did enjoy in the Rorona world, i really like it. But could can enjoy more if i did not sick that time and now (it happen again...lol)

    you can catch up very soon after you get the game...since i only will continue the game after two or three week and sometimes i play game very slow...but hope i will not feeling sick that time = =.
    Enjoy you game when it arrive .

    i also dont know what it the problem, but since it put the big notice on offical so it must be some big or annoying bug/problem.

  3. i thought u play it.. ^^

    not important heh.. but i heard,we need to collect the evaluation point,vary from 1 to 3 to get the true ending?

    high quality material is hard to find..
    but in my past of atelier games.. its not quite hard when we reach certain point of the game.. i hope it also applies to rorona ^^;

    what? 2-3 weeks?
    why did you get sick too much? >__<;;
