Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian is going back to the long-running JRPG series’ roots with turn-based combat and a more “old school” approach, according to series producer Junzo Hosoi.
Hosoi told Automaton that the most recent entry in the series, Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land, was an attempt to expand the series’ appeal “by proactively implementing action-packed battle elements and an open-world system, which are recent trends in the console RPG scene.”
Despite becoming the fastest selling entry in the series and receiving generally favorable critical reviews, Yumia saw mixed reviews from within the Atelier community largely due to its many divergences from JRPG and series conventions. Seemingly in response, developer Gust wants to give longtime fans something much more familiar with the next release.
