Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & The Secret Fairy is a JRPG sequel that is admittedly anime. I’m talking about the sickly sweet variety, where a gust of wind blows through some cherry blossoms, a schoolgirl turns to look at the camera and the power of friendship will always prevail. And in the beginning, I found it difficult to cut off his sickening positivity.
But learn to accept AR2, or at least, Neo-swerve out of your way of the sun and fanservice, and a surprisingly complex JRPG goes forward. So complex, in fact, that I still don’t really understand how turn-based combat or fabrication works, but I want to play more anyway. I have this desire to dig deeper and I can’t help myself.
