Publisher Koei Tecmo and developer Gust have shared new information, video, and screenshots for Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream introducing new characters Pirka, Katrina, and Gnome, side quests, and character scenarios.
Get the details below.
In Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream, Sophie uses the town of Roytale—the only town in Erde Wiege—as a base of operations as she searches for her missing friend Plachta. When she arrives in Roytale, Sophie will befriend Katrina Balbastre (voiced by Manami Numakura)—or Kati—the owner of the Crystal Sparkle Pavilion, her kind hearted employee Gnome Dumortier (voiced by Yuko Ono), as well as Pirka (voiced by Yukimi Hayase), the owner of Pirka’s Emporium, and these eccentric characters quickly offer her their services.
At the Crystal Sparkle Pavilion, Sophie will be able to accept a wide range of requests from the local townspeople, and through completing these requests, she will earn rewards and raise her reputation. As her reputation increases, Kati will offer advancement quests that, once successfully completed, will increase her Adventurer Grade—allowing her to take on more challenging requests with greater rewards. On the other hand, Pirka’s Emporium is a unique shop that can replenish and duplicate items—both important services for alchemists to utilize alongside synthesis.
As Sophie progresses through her journey in Atelier Sophie 2, scenarios will unlock for a variety of characters in Erde Wiege. Through these events, players will be able to learn of each character’s goals and dreams, as well as raise their friendship level with the character—leading to new skills being unlocked. Each character has their own unique scenarios: Alette dreams of getting rich quickly so she asks Sophie to help her learn alchemy, whereas Ramizel feels like she isn’t able to live up to everyone’s high expectations. Can Sophie help Ramizel find the success she’s looking for?
Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream is due out for PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC via Steam on February 24, 2022 in Japan and February 25 worldwide.
