Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream

[h2] 苏菲2简直是炼金工房中妈妈一样的存在[/h2] 我在2年前就通关了苏菲2，如今我通关了优米雅，为了重温从前那妙趣横生的炼金系统，我重新打开了苏菲2。我本以为这会是一次短暂的朝花夕拾，一次打不完的二周目，可当那口流光溢彩的大锅像温柔的妈妈一样，接纳了心力交瘁的自己时，当我关闭游戏发现已经凌晨3点钟而我8点半还要起床上班时，我意识到我又沦陷了，沦陷在了妈妈的温柔乡里 苏菲2有什么缺点——画面老旧；人物动作比较僵硬，动画衔接相对一般；炼金系统的大面板到游戏中期才会完全开放，可需要大面板的配方却会在前中期就解锁，导致前期炼不出完美效果，略显空虚；部分地图的探索流程强制使用天气切换系统，且传送点的位置比较分散，跑图有时候很麻烦 可除了这些可以忍受的缺点以外，其他的体验给到夯完全没问题，苏菲可爱，音乐仙品，像妈妈一样的炼金系统更是炼金工房难以逾越的一座大山，也许可以说苏菲2的一切系统都是为了炼金而服务的：开新地图是为了获取新素材；打怪是为了获取怪物掉落的素材；做委托赚钱是为了复制已经做好的炼金产品，从而方便后续调合其他的物品 通关游戏似乎从来就不是炼金的目的，炼金本身就是唯一的目的，而正好，苏菲2将炼金以外的系统都调教到了一个玩起来相对舒适的地步，再搭配上集不可思议系列大成的七巧板炼金系统，这样的炼金哪能不好玩呢？ 苏菲2就像是妈妈，当我玩莱莎3觉得索然无味时，当我玩优米雅觉得味同嚼蜡时，它总是令我回忆，它总是在那里，用温暖的炼金系统融化我逐渐干枯的炼金梦，告诉我，“没关系，妈妈一直都这里，不管你在外面玩到了多无聊的炼金，妈妈依旧会用有趣的炼金来安慰你” 所以我想，苏菲2是炼金系统创新最成功的一次尝试，也是目前炼金工房系列最值得新人入坑的作品 哦对了gust你最好是能把卡莉亚的炼金做好来 不然还不如回去做苏菲3

I first played this game years ago on my Switch but, for one reason or another, never managed to finish it. It was actually my introduction to the Atelier series, and I’m genuinely glad it was. Even after all this time, I still find it hard to find any real fault with it. The crafting system remains one of my favourite aspects; it’s intricate, satisfying, and endlessly rewarding once you start understanding its layers. The story has a charm that’s both relaxing and engaging + The OST is absolutely beautiful. One criticism (and it’s purely a matter of personal taste) would be the lack of an English dub. I know the Japanese voice acting is excellent but there’s something about hearing the dialogue in my own language that makes me feel more immersed. All in all... 10/10 would buy ultimate collector's edition again

不可思议系列中最优秀的炼金系统，值得深入游玩。

如果你还没有开始玩，以下几条也许可以增加你的游戏体验： 1：记得不要一直使用苏菲进行炼金，如果有机会可以多试试用普拉芙妲，也许工作室系列玩的多的不需要提醒，但是对于苏菲入坑的玩家来说可以不太熟悉双人工作室的机制，如果一方等级太低会卡剧情的。 2：点开地图页面之后是可以查看这个地图不同气候的怪物和收集物的，需要寻找特定素材的时候可以通过打开该素材的介绍看这个素材哪里掉落。 3：工作室系列一贯的特色是道具可以打出的伤害非常高，所以可以试着多炼成一些攻击道具，效率会高不少。 4：最后一种采集道具弹弓的一种解锁道具需要手杖三级采集等级才能采集，手杖和空手的采集等级需要使用AP在菜单——能力页面提升。 5：建议手柄游玩，没开自动保存就要记得存档，开了自动保存也建议多存档。 6：7*7炼金台需要复炼媒介。 7：除了手杖和空手以外的采集等级取决于炼成这个道具时对应的特性等级。 8：不建议买除了额外炼金媒介以外的任何DLC。 9：玩的开心。 哇，炼金。哇，炼金。炼金真是泰好玩辣，搅大锅真是泰好玩辣 现在的炼金工房更像是想做回合制开放世界游戏，看得出来是很想做好，但是明显的资金和技术力都跟不上，导致的就是体验比不上其他同价的3A游戏，价格还高于大部分3A游戏，如果你是想玩游戏的，可以先试试花同等的钱去买市面上的其他3A体验如天国拯救2荒野大镖客2等，都玩完了等这个游戏大折扣或是出DX了再来体验这款游戏。如果你是来看人设体验剧情的我更推荐你优先去玩P5以及暗喻幻想等同价位游戏体验会更好。如果你是只是想体验炼金且不那么在意画面，那可以入，不得不说工作室系列做炼金确实是独一份，目前市场上还没见到多少比这个炼金体验还好的代餐，不过这个品类也确实小众。 总之不是喜欢这种品类的不建议入，不仅价格贵，画面表现一般，游戏体验也一般（炼金系统除外，这点工作室系列确实做的不错，经常搅一次大锅就是大半个小时）。 作为开放世界地图中解密大多没有难度，没有那种找到正确方法的时候豁然开朗的感觉，弱引导完全跟着地图走剧情基本没有什么剧情分支，剧情也是工作室一如既往的白水（但是可爱就完了），素材太多筛选系统做的稀烂，仓库满了没法一键丢没用的素材，地图大但是基本没啥内容，找特定素材有时候找半天，对于新人如果没有玩过炼金系列那么大概率身上没多少道具卡第一个BOSS（炼金最经典的就是道具伤害比你技能还高）。 但是总之炼成系统这块做的没话说，极限完美炼成一个物品的时候脑内啡爆炸，炼成之后给的增益也是实打实，伤害明显上升，带来的反馈也是实打实，机制也是慢慢解锁基本顺着玩都可以熟练，养成曲线平缓，数值控制的也不错。 无功无过的作品，但是我就是好玩爱玩咋了（

想当苏菲老师的狗

Best game overall in Mysterious series of Atelier games. Main story is good, one of the better ones in Ateliers I have played. Characters are fun and interesting, with good individual storylines. Combat system has a lot of options. Alchemy system is build around filling the grid, offers a lot of options and flexibility and will keep you doing new recipes for hours.

搅大缸好玩~苏菲可爱！ 炼金系统相当有深度，一步一步合成，组合特性，直到最后手搓核弹也相当有成就感！ 不建议购买普拉芙妲dlc，非常短，可以云一下就行。建议购买调和的极致dlc，贯穿触媒对炼金帮助很大，等EX级悬赏发布后可以去诺姆那里换。 最后，gust什么时候出苏菲3啊？

There are so many good things that I wanted to say about this game, which make this game the top Atelier game for me, right behind Mana Khemia and Ar Tonelico. The QOL in Ryza 1 are improved a lot in this game: - List of available (obtained/not obtained) drops on every gathering spot are shown on every map AND on every gathering spot. It's not something necessary since there's no time limit in this game so we don't need to be selective when choosing gathering spot. But a very good QOL nonetheless. Very useful when doing requests or hunting specific mats/monsters. - They also brought back the small chibi head icon showing up on maps whenever a new event available. Kinda disappointed they removed this from Ryza 1. - Fast-forward button in events are very useful to reduce the time following the story. - Auto-save feature is available an an Atelier game (finally!). This game crashed several times on SteamDeck and it only ran smooth with low graphic setting, so auto-save is an auto-win solution. Huge graphic improvement especially on characters models compared to Ryza 1. I especially don't like the shading on the Ryza 1's 3d character model faces. They looked jarring for some reason. I'm so glad they don't use the same style for this game. Gameplay-wise, there are many things they brought back from previous Mysterious games and Ryza 1: - Night time doesn't make monsters aggresive (stronger), just like in Ryza. There are traits that can make characters stronger depending on the time of day, but there's no way I use those situational traits on top of Dragon God's Blessing traits lol - The changing weather mechanic make the maps feel so dynamic (different enemies/boss/gather materials/terrains on each weather). - Camping feature from Firis is available here, though it's kinda useless because the game is not open world and we can instantly go back to the Atelier. Using camp is consuming item as well so it's another L. - Love that it retains the usual synthesis mechanic from mysterious series. it was fun because it performs like tetris and easier to get items with high quality. They went back to the usual full turn-based battle mechanic instead of semi-action like Ryza 1. To be honest I like Ryza's battle system a lot, but there are few things that Sophie 2 kind of different compared to other Mystrious titles: - Battle speed x2.0 is available here. I love seeing this feature on my turn-based games. - Twin actions make the battles in early game piss easy. you can just spam it and the enemies die in 5 seconds. Ultimates are called Dual Trigger and are activated with two characters instead of one. - By pressing R1/RB we can see which character the enemy will attack in their next turn by pressing, making the battles easier because you can make the characters guard beforehand. But you'll end up not using it 99% of the time. Sophie 2 OSTs for me are more memorabble here compared to other Atelier games. There are few that caught my attention when exploring. Most of the time though Atelier OST are usually forgettable. Story and character development/interactions are what made Sophie 2 shine the most among other Atelier games. I love the premise. There are depressing moments especially at the beginning. The interactions between not only the playable characters, but NPC are done so well. It has higher standard for a Atelier game for me than what I've experienced before. So I'm glad I've experienced it until the end. The only con that I could give to this game is that container is way too small. There's no way to extend container like in Lydie&Suelle so near the endgame you'll spend some time removing unwanted materials every time you go back to the atelier. This is kind of annoying because every map gives a lot, I mean A LOT of loots to pick up. If you're a hoarder in an RPG like me, you'll end up meeting this obstruction point sooner or later. --- Hours later into working, and I'm still thinking about the ending. It's similar to the ending of TLoH: Trails in the Sky 3rd. But this time I cried like a baby. It was sadder than I expected. I didn't believe it when that happened. I cried because of an Atelier game. The last time I cried because of a game is at the ending of Tales of the Abyss. I love Sophie so much as an MC. For me, both her looks and personality are league better compared to other Atelier MCs. I'm sad that her journey has finished long before I played this game, but I had to force myself to uninstall the game today so that I can peacefully move on to the next stories. 8/10
