Company Koei Tecmo Games released a quarterly report in which it said that as of December 31, 2019 sales Atelier ryza exceeded the mark in 350,000 copies. For the series, this is the second largest result at the moment, but the developers expect that the role-playing game will be able to take the lead, because it is sold much faster than all its predecessors. For comparison, which appeared in 2015 Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book over its entire life cycle, it has found 370,000 customers. Atelier Ryza is now only 20,000 copies away from it.
Today, Koei Tecmo is trying to quickly localize its games to an English-speaking audience, since it is the western regions that bring the main profit.
Earlier, Japanese experts pointed out that the design of the protagonist, successful from the point of view of the audience, helped to stand out from the predecessors of Atelier Ryza. The images of the characters in the previous parts were “too vanilla”, while in the new project, the developers made a bid no more than an adult image.
The girl, nicknamed Rise, the protagonist of Atelier Ryza, got big breasts and lush hips, accentuated by tight shorts. Immediately after the announcement of the project, the Japanese segment of Twitter was flooded with numerous fanarts, including from famous artists, and this helped the project “go to the people.” The situation was compared with the story around 2B of Nier: Automata. True, in the case of Raise, popularity is still much more modest.
Atelier Ryza is available at Playstation 4, Nintendo switch and PC.
