Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream

只要你喜欢苏菲，那我们就是异父异母的亲兄弟！

主角团只有两个男人，这对我真的很重要

[h1] 旅途的再开与梦的结束[/h1] 踏上一场阔别许久的旅途，再次来到苏菲的世界，与她做同一场美梦。 #含有一定程度的剧透，烦请谨慎阅读 [h2] 妙趣横生的炼金 [/h2] 拼图，益智烧脑，老少咸宜。一开始是单纯的拼凑行列，紧接着是工整地填满方正的锅，再后来染色、追加齐上阵。不断地用更多的方法拼出更困难的图案，正是苏菲2炼金系统的魅力。 [h2] 虎头蛇尾的采集 [/h2] 要拼的图千变万化，素材自然不能守旧。“大采集”系统赋予苏菲订制材料的能力，是我个人认为最棒的设计。 在前中期，采集的节奏释出非常棒，然而到了游戏中后期，从沙漠地图开始，我就几乎没有新的素材可以采到了，最后两整张大地图甚至没有新素材、没有新怪物。炼金的终盘更是只能种地不能采集（锁词条真该死啊），把“大采集”整个废掉，非常可惜。 [h2] 大炮打蚊子的战斗 [/h2] 纯回合制好评，但是三体人打原始人，只能说打个热闹。多段平A、前后换防、连携攻击、召唤物、推条拉条、改变天气……就算是脱离炼金系列常见的丢道具秒秒秒，我方的机制也过于多而强力了；与之相对的，敌人仅仅有次数盾和debuff，难免打谁都是打不同血量的木桩。 [h2] 打动人心的剧情与人物 [/h2] 虽说炼金工房系列一直是阖家团圆包饺子，难免会看了开头猜到结局，但架不住饺子是真好吃，好的就是这一口，结局狠狠掉小珍珠。[spoiler] 苏菲2的开端是阔别7年后旅途的再开，结局是阔别一场梦后旅途的再开，而下一场梦又在哪里呢？ [/spoiler] 可入队角色在历代里偏少，与之相对便是每个人的塑造非常丰满，个人支线都很有记忆点。给我留下最深刻印象的还是苏菲，简直就是超人，精神稳定肉体强健，感觉再给她一段剧情她能给A26都炼出来。[spoiler] JK奶奶香疯了，我这条命都是她开加速一棍棍抡出来的（跟梦神是真的亲，打起来也是真的狠！） [/spoiler] [h2]美丽废物的 UI[/h2] 除了美术设计，其他都是灾难级别的，所以一定要拉出来单独讲。 首当其冲是云里雾里的词条效果：一些词条明明就是+攻+防+HP的简单效果，但是它总是只给玩家看那莫名其妙的名字，玩家仅仅只能在少数场景通过次级菜单查阅词条效果（甚至筛选和炼金预览里都不能看！）；明明是已经炼成过的道具，其词条效果也无法在炼金锅界面预览，必须在拥有该词条的物品以后，在收纳箱中查看。 其次是有但是如有的图鉴引导：当玩家想要采集某样特定素材时，查阅图鉴只会告诉玩家对应的大地图而不是小地图，然而在地图界面预览每张小地图是能看到它有哪些素材能够采集的，到头来还是得玩家自己一张一张小地图目录翻过去找。 最后是等你意会的可交互物品：苏菲2的地图里不乏一些地形互动，但是其引导已经到了糟糕的程度——因为它开机关黑屏。很多时候我互动完轻是迷失朝向，重是完全看不出发生了什么，没有任何动态或者文字引导；它甚至判定点跟咕噜一样——一个能上的电梯只有站在正中间有交互，一个能滑的斜坡也只有正中间有交互。至此，结合前文的采集问题，苏菲2的跑图体验在后期全线爆炸，在我开宝箱获得最后一个触媒以后就变成了只看缩略图摸水晶速通，失去了所有耐心。 [h2] 总结[/h2] 我最近每晚都做着一场梦，梦里的红发女孩搅动着大锅，从中和剂红黄蓝绿到贤者之石，从新的邂逅到旧的离别。梦结束了，我也该启程了。

苏菲也太可爱了吧~

I love Sophie and she's my favorite among the girls and other series! I know most of you love Ryza, but I cannot with her rebellious, proud and pouty ways, when Sophie is a lot more gentle, optimistic and altruistic. In terms of story, this is the plot Sophie deserved! And I honestly don't see this series going further when so much about her theme was explored here (friendship and family values). Unfortunately, this game is not great... even for a fan this game soon becomes very tedious. Why? The cutscenes, the story was so much extended that you wish they could just cut it to half. Little nothings here and there. The fetching materials, the grinding makes this game at the end of a couple of hours (especially when you're more advanced into the game) the whole gameplay very boring. Navigation is not great in the isekai town, making you go constantly through narrow alleys, going around and around. I also had a lot of issues with the camera. It's recommendable, but unfortunately a game that needed more polishing and a lot of "cuts" in the scenes, and materials and elements needed.

Despite not playing Sophie 1, I still greatly enjoyed this game. The writing is on par with the other atelier games I've played and the story keeps me hooked all the way through. There doesn't feel like there are any bloated areas, whether it's gameplay or story. Speaking of gameplay, if you're coming from the Ryza series, there's a little bit of difficulty to it, especially when you get to the more mid-late game recipes. However, that also allows for a lot more freedom with crafting despite things being a bit harder/more tedious to make. The game also provides a recap for the first game, so if you just want to jump into this, you're totally free to. You don't have to play Sophie 1 to understand what's going on here. Overall, I enjoyed the game greatly and look forward to 100%ing it.

調合は歴代最高峰ですが、それ以外がシリーズ最悪レベルで面白くないです。 二次創作を理解するためと割り切って買いましょう。
