Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
In my dreams, I see myself mixing some potions, in a workshop somewhere near the ocean. I'm all tan and smiling and twirling from the haze. It's hot and the Chims keep on playing the pie game, and they're singing the same darn refrain. And the smoke's a bluish gray.
Atelier Totori was a very good RPG to begin with, but its stylish, technically modest graphics, and focus on bite-sized quests make it an ideal candidate for handheld gaming. Everything that made the original what it is, for better or worse, is here on the Vita – including the near-constant interruptions by poorly executed dialogue which still bar it from greatness. But its additional content and small-screen visual presence make Atelier Totori Plus the definitive version, and an easy recommendation for franchise fans and RPG buffs in general.
Atelier Totori, featuring more in-depth synthesis and battle systems, follows the story of a new alchemist and her travels around Arland several years after the events of Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland.
