60 of 124 · most liked firstBathing suits, it includes bathing suits! Atelier Totori is a second game in Arland series. It's one of the oldest ones on Steam and also one of the most annoying ones. I enjoyed the story of this game, especially the true ending. As usual you play as a young alchemist from a small village. Totori's mother was an adventurer but she disappeared years ago and Totori wanted to become and adventurer just like her mom since then. So she hooks up with her friend Gino and start working her way onto…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a very low quality and low effort port. A) The user interface is a train wreck. You frequently have lists of 100s of items to wade through and unlike the previous game (Rorona), you cannot filter items while doing synthesis. So if you want a particular trait that you only have on 1-2 items out of a 100+ you scroll the list SLOWLY and waste time. While playing on a keyboard, all the button prompts still show the console's gamepad buttons. You can remap "RB" -> "Keyboard E" in an…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Perfect game and great port. Support Gust they deserve every single penny!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The most annoying thing in the older games is that one small thing can mess up your whole playthrough. Events in this one are the real pain and especially limitation to leveling...you really need to know what you're doing. But aside from that - story is lovely, whole progression is done well here. True ending is unexpected, but appreciated, leaves you with happy feeling )) I'd recommend playing if you're trying to catch up with Arland series like myself. But not as first in Atelier series, by…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My favourite Atelier title, though ironically the most strict on time which I actually don't prefer in atelier. Maybe deep down it's what gets me addicted as the time based games seem to be the ones that hook me until they finish. These aren't complex titles but alot of management is required and I'll say this. Atelier Totori while Totori is the most mild hearted and innocent of the 3 in the Arland titles as a character. She's the most ambitious character of the 3 and her title is the most…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This has to be the roughest Atelier available on Steam. It's easy to notice the lack of QoL compared to what Rorona had, because that one was remade and this one wasn't. It may feel like you are playing an older game if you are going in order. It is not possible to sort through traits. This makes the process of crafting equipment and items a bit more annoying, but I'd say that it is still at least easier to get the best traits on stuff than it was in Rorona? That's how it felt in my…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was my first Atelier game on the PS Vita so it was great to revisit Totori's journey after all these years. It was hard for me back then but now after playing many other Atelier games, it was a lot of fun and not too hard. The OSTs in this one are by far my favorite due to nostalgia. Totori is so cute and funny!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Please don’t buy this game. It might be one of the worst PC ports I’ve ever played. I’ve played it on 2 windows PCs and a Steam Deck and it works when it feels like it and that’s the best you’re going to get. The game itself is fantastic. The port is almost criminal and I can’t believe stuff like this can be sold on Steam. The game crashes constantly. About 5-6 hours of my 30 ish hours have been debugging the dang thing. Movies play on Steam Deck sometimes, without audio sometimes, or not at…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I absolutely love this game and it is my favorite Atelier game and will always be my favorite Atelier game. If anyone from Gust is reading this, PLEASE GO BACK TO GAMES WITH A FOCUS ON SYNTHESIS LIKE THIS ONE. I do genuinely wish Gust pulls something like they did with the Arland trilogy and goes back to their roots with synthesis-focused games (preferably with a time limit in my opinion but I know that will scare many people) Objectively this is likely not the best Atelier game in any…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you haven't played Rorona DX, play it first. If you have played Rorona DX, be warned that you'll feel like playing an older game, which it apparently is as Rorona DX is a remake. This is much less well structured than Rorona IMO, you don't have a clear goal as that for the first two thirds of the game, and keep completing minor quests. This does hurt the story aspect a bit in my opinion, which is an important element in Atelier games. The alchemy system is more or less the same from the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While probably one of the weakest Atelier out of all of them, it spawned one of my favorite characters ever, so all is forgiven. Mimi is best girl.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Atelier Totori is a great improvement overall over Rorona, but the time system is much harder. Alchemy and gameplay mechanics stays about the same as Rorona. The story is quite interesting this time, it's still a slice of life story but in Totori there's more "Adventure" rather than just doing cute stuff. The graphics are greatly improved when compared to Rorona. It runs very smooth at 1440p60 and looks like they have implemented some AA in this entry (it looks better than Rorona)... and they…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the weaker entries in the long running Atelier series of JRPGs. This is the 2nd in the Arland series! If you've played through the Rorona plus/DX version then some of the mechanics in this game will feel a bit dated. From what I saw the only difference in the DX version compared to the original 2011 release is the inclusion of the 3 DLC characters who unlock fairly late in the story. There's a few different music tracks to select and some extra outfits for Totori but the gameplay is…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Atelier Totori ~The Adventurer of Arland~ DX, developed and published by KOEI TECMO GAMES CO., LTD., is a captivating JRPG that continues the beloved Atelier Arland series with a focus on exploration, adventure, and personal growth. As the second installment in the trilogy, this enhanced edition expands on the foundations laid by Atelier Rorona, offering refined mechanics, deeper storytelling, and a more immersive world to explore. Players assume the role of Totori, a spirited young girl on a…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Uhh it's okay. i guess
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I actually think this game is for the most part great. The gameplay is fun, although the game has some mechanical issues, some which were solved in Rorona DX (I understand this came before). I also see how the calendar system can get in your way, but it is manageable. What ruins this game for me is that due to it having a priority system for the endings and no clearly defined flags, it can easily stir you into something entirely undesired and I dare say sometimes undeserved. I did 2…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game probably has the most obnoxious True Ending requirement across all Atelier entries. I also feel that thematically, the normal ending is a lot more enjoyable because it's the culmination of Totori's overall growth, both as an alchemist and adventurer. I would certainly feel a lot better if the true ending expressed Totori's adventurer spirit because it would be a nice segue to her travelling to Arls Kingdom in Atelier Meruru. My personal favourite in terms of character ending is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was alright, but sort of a letdown when compared to Rorona. I dislike the handling of the passage of time, and the way the game nudges you in the best direction to progress the story was awful. I fast travelled often and as a result, had to redo a year of the game because I didn't enter what was essentially an in-between area to progress the plot. The new characters were overall sort of a letdown. There's one or two characters here and there that I liked, but I wasn't a big fan of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall Rating: 7/10 Gameplay: 6.5/10 • Atelier Totori is the second game of the Arland series. It brings a story that does well in character development. It also brings back characters from Atelier Rorona and brings a comedic relief to its story. • Multiple quality of life aspects during alchemy found in Atelier Rorona are missing in Atelier Totori. Alchemy level during synthesis and component names are lacking. Additionally, the organization of components is subpar compared to Atelier…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Second part of the Arland Series. You play as Totori, Rorona's Apprentice, who wants to go on an adventure to find her mother. However, during these times, an Adventurer License is required to adventure around. Early on, you will obtain a License that lasts up to 3 years, requiring you to raise your rank multiple times in order to reach the threshold to receive a 2 year extension. Compared to Atelier Rorona, this game feels a lot less straight forward. Its world is much larger and opened,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Both this game and Meruru contain a bug that, under certain circumstances, using a bomb item may crash your game. As creating and using offensive items such as bombs kind of forms the entire backbone of the game, I highly recommend passing on the bundle until a patch is released that fix these issues.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →OK finished so time to update the review, First is the game so bad that you must not buy,,, well not really actually if you plan buy rorona and well this saga i suggest try it. Now play blindy... well if you are a hardcore gamer yup, but unless you want suffer use a guide... gamefaqs have a good guide that let you surprass the problem of the old systems that is on this atelier... so lets enter to the problems but again, if you like the story and like see your chars progress buy it, even if i…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →BigZ here reporting on another game worthy of review; Today we are looking at Atelier Totori ~The Adventurer of Arland~ DX from Koei Tecmo Games. Totori was originally released on the Playstation3 as the second game within the Arland series. The game has not changed since the original release but it does include the DLC’s. Totori aspires to be a great adventurer like her mother and one day to discover what happened to her. Along the way she will find both new and old friends to help her along…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →1000 inventory space is pain. The gameplay experience is by far the worst in the Arland trilogy. Both Rorona and Meruru have 2000 inventory spaces and much better quality of life features (you can equip the adventure tools instead of having to carry it in your basket, you unlock the fast travel feature much earlier, you get to choose the endings if you reach the requirements for multiple endings) I would only recommend the game if the game is on discount. you have tried other game in the Arland…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Atelier Totori ~The Adventurer of Arland~ DX Recommend! A great Atelier game with good writing and a fun MC. For the side characters the women were all great! Especially Mimi. Poor Sterk was carrying all the dudes on his back. Wish there was no time limit so you can explore everything freely.
unlabelledView post →Where do I start.... This game is REALLY old and has NO QOL at all for anything, so it is really really rough to play and hard without any guides, tons of missable events that can ruin a playthrough. My only REAL issue with this game however is that the port is really bad and if you don't have a good CPU, you are cooked, unless you use a community fix, which I have no idea if it exist for this game or not. This game, regarding the gameplay is genuinly worse in every way compared to Atelier…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I won't rate this game negatively, It's still on positive for me, but this review will sound really negatively. I started Atelier franchise from Rorona and then went straight to Totori, day after finishing Rorona. It's drastically different from Rorona and not in a good way. Alchemy, exploration stays mostly the same, but for some inexplicable reason, creators decided to change whole interface, make it less clear to read and understand. The worst crime was commited with weapon shop, where they…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Considering this released before Atelier Ryza, I'm not surprised that KB/M support isn't present in this port, but there's a few glaring issues, those being the lack of anti-aliasing, low shadow resolution, and the fact that microstutters every second is still present even in these older releases because it's querying for connected controllers if there aren't any. The lack of a borderless fullscreen option (Thus making it required to use Special K to fix that alongside the microstuttering…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So..wholesome so sad Must protect Totori Must show love for Totori I literally so much time into this game that time dont exist then after stop playing its resumes and its exist again,
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really, really wish that I could recommend this game. I LOVE the Atelier series, but this particular entry has a LOT of problems. The game has crashed on me for no apparent reason multiple times (annoying when there's no autosave), which hasn't been a problem with literally any other game I've got right now, including Ryza 2, intro is super boring (and I've had to play through it twice due to the game crashing as soon as it finished, before I could save), I keep failing to craft items the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After playing Rorona, this game is very hard to swallow, with the UX being the worst of all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A great game. I played it before but didn't finish it. Now with the Steam release, I finally completed all the endings. First of all, Atelier Totori is one of the difficult title in the series. The game has a lax objective, making it easy to get lost and hence wasting time on unimportant things. On 2nd playthrough, it gets easier when you learn how the events work, and how to save enough money. Pretty much every FAQs you can see on the net are outdated hence I have to explore on synthesizing…

unlabelledView post →Wanted to play it, but as far as i can tell, the game is not super well optimized for pc specifically, resulting in pauses and stuttering when opening and navigating menus, which is unpleasant in a game that is like 30% menus. Bought the game on switch, and it doesn't have the same pause & stutter issue. Might be a linux moment with me trying to play it on steam deck, but doesn't seem to be the case as far as i can tell.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game probably has the most compelling story and protagonist of the Arland trilogy. Its gameplay has significantly improved over Rorona, though it isn't quite as refined as Meruru. It's a very enjoyable experience for anyone interested in the Atelier franchise.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland - Around a 6.5. Funny enough it's easily one of the best cast of characters. I especially like Totori's young and go getter attitude. I also enjoyed Mel, Gino, and even little witch looking girl I can't recall her name. So cast wise this is one of the best in the series. However, this gameplay loop got really boring second half. The combat felt dull, or annoyingly hard at parts, and I gotta say was not a fan of building the ship. Overall the characters…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My very first Atelier and because modernization wise, this was the most primitive of the updated Atelier of the PS3 Ateliers to play and later I would come to know that Atelier Totori would be considered the hardest of the Arland bunch just because of achieving true ending is hard stacked on tight scheduling fit for salary man job and it's unforgiving primitive features even with the DX update. It takes several playthroughs of grinded equipment and money to achieve goal ending. Superboss…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Totori is the dark horse of the series. It pioneered a lot of ambitious task/subplot juggling, Totori's personal story, side character arcs, all on top of the existing core gameplay loops. The result is a very busy minded game, almost antithetical to the Atelier games themselves. the "adventurer" of Arland would be prove to be more accurate than anyone could rightfully guess! Everything takes time. That's the gimmick. Compared to nearly every other Atelier your jaw will drop at how days burn…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My introduction to the Atelier series back when it released on the PS3. Atelier Torori follows a young girl on her journey to find her missing mother. The gameplay is relatively simple turn based combat but with a rather complex alchemy (crafting) system. The game itself, like the series in general, are slice of life games that tell day to day stories of the girls journey's and lives. So it is a very lighthearted series. DX adds new additions like dungeons, enemies, all of the previous DLC from…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Where do I start... Gameplay is worse than Rorona, it simply misses the QoL features Rorona had which means Alchemy is worse than it should be. (Mana Khemia 2 had more QoL features than this game did and it came two game before Totori?) The Characters are way less interesting than Rorona, seeing returning characters back again was probably the best part of the game. Early game is way too strict and when you finally get your license you easily get the good ending required rank as soon as at…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unless you’re really into JRPGs and you speak Japanese, you likely found this game on your steam recommendations and never would have imagined it’s part of a series with more entries then Call Of Duty and even most yearly sports games. This is the 12th of 25, not including 3 spin offs, with 26 on its way in a few months. And with the possible exception of Nelke and the Legendary Alchemists (which is rather polarizing, but which I love and have 100s of hours in) this is probably the most…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Since I did play Firis already, this somehow felt like a unpolished proto type of this game. (Like the wanting to travel the world, marking maps and even the building a ship part) In the end, I did like Firis, but not really... this one. The story and characters are okay, I also like Totori, but the game mechanics make this game really a pain to play, especially after playing Rorona DX. I wish they could have reworked the mechanics just as they did there, what about this is even the "DX"…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love the game but the port is crap because is broken, it crashes everywhere. Unfortunately Gust never fixed the game. In the end I had to play it on a PS3 emulator. Beautiful game. Crappy port. Breaks my heart to leave a negative to this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Would I recommend this game? Hell yeah I do. Totori has captivated my heart. She is unbelievably adorable and has a really believable personality. She's charming, stubborn, shy, energetic, sensitive. Also my girl Rorona is back in this game and she's staying in my party until the end. Okay I'll tune down my weeb talk: The game is a pretty big upgrade in quality and playability from the first game. First and foremost, adventuring feels nicer in this game. Totori is practically useless on her…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →pro: adventure themed have some great osts cute basically an anime in the Japanese dub
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game crashes in combat when using attack items. (This issue has existed since 2018 and will likely never be patched.) I hurts me to leave this negative review, because I love the game Atelier Totori itself and believe it to be the game in the series that uses time restrictions most effectively.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TLDR: A severe and noticeable downgrade in all parts from Rorona. Highly recommend to skip. PROS: ➕Good Rorona character throwback/appearances ➕Narrative mystery CONS: ➖Lack of resolution options above 1080p ➖Windowed mode makes the game nearly unplayable - movement bug ➖Slight menu lag….and you use menus A LOT. ➖Price ➖Zero direction at start ➖Massive difficulty jump upon getting 2nd rank ➖Tight and restrictive time ➖Lack of Rorona quality of life Reviews of Atelier…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I never reviewed this... Well... it is good. Cute game. Sequel to Atelier Rorona, comes before Atelier Meruru. Atelier Rorona DX is a bit better gameplay / content wise, probably due to being remastered AFTER this one and Meruru DX. But the whole trilogy plays nice together. This one probably has the most interesting story of the three. Anyway... I won't drag this out. I'm just trying to find the games I've completed and never reviewed...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's objectively worse than rorona and yet i had more fun with this game. Maybe cause i already got used to the gameplay loop of older atelier games. Its a fun game, just know that the first 4 or so in-game months for some reason are completely worthless.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Steam Deck: FMVs don't work, so no opening or credits, and shop keepers crash the game ONLY if you talk them DIRECTLY after a cutscene inside their shop where you're still inside the shop afterwards (this includes Ceci in the bar). Everything else runs well. I usually do not like these coming of age stories, but Totori's is just so cute. The music is absolutely wonderful, and I really love the dynamic of the cast. There are some very poorly aged scenes and lines, but overall, it is a fairly…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Does not have the quality of life features like the other games. Characters are still awesome coming from rorona. Still one of the best stories for an atelier game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So, as annoyed as I was with the lack of QoL, this is basically the oldest Atelier game on steam from what I understand, as its prequel got updated. So, I can't really fault the game for that, as the newer games improve from this. Also, this game has crashed on me once, pretty sure this has been the only Atelier game to do that to me, otherwise no issues. There are a lot of things I dislike, but overall, I still enjoyed playing this game, though you will likely need a guide or a wiki at…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really don't want to do this because poor Totori deserves better...but I really can't recommend this one. The short version is this is more just a straight port with questionable design choices that really hindered my enjoyment of the game. Honestly I could write a huge essay long review of my thoughts but let's be honest...no one would read it. So here's a summarized version instead: THE GOOD: +The world of Arland is just as interesting and fun to explore as it was in Rorona. +Characters…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →idk if this is a good game, its my first atelier game and i dont really want to check out anymoree...its kinda slow and boring and there are a lot of cutscenes and talking

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Introduction As a fan of the series, I decided to write reviews for the Atelier games. I tried to make them in a way that newcomers and maybe even fellow fans who're looking for the next installment find out something about it. About Atelier This is a classic JRPG franchise, meaning it has turn based battles where you have to select from a list what will your characters do in their turn. Atelier's charm however lies in the alchemy system. This system is about gathering materials in around…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →+ Compared to Rorona DX: Ability to travel on the overworld map; Points system to reward you synthing, adventuring etc. + Liked the True Ending ~ Gathering materials outdoors now cost time. Not sure how I should feel about that. - If you are coming from Rorona DX then this it is in some smaller aspects a downgrade like showing the probability of a successful synthesis etc. - Lots of planning + grinding needed to get the True Ending (not sure if it is possible without a guide)
