Quote:
Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book follows the exploits of young novice Alchemist Sophie Neuenmuller, who discovers she is the owner of an enigmatic book imbued with a soul. This Mysterious Book seems to hold all the secrets to the art of Alchemy, even going on to become Sophie’s mentor. As Sophie experiments with Alchemy throughout the story she unravels the book’s forgotten memories and eventually sets out to uncover the strange tale of its origin. Uncover the mysteries of Alchemy that have been hidden away and forgotten alongside Plachta, the Mysterious Book, and experiment with the Synthesis system to learn new alchemy recipes at any pace! Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book was originally released for the PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system and PlayStation Vita handheld entertainment system

First title is Atelier Sophie! PC gamers will finally get a chance to experience the bright and mysterious world of the Atelier series

Of course everyone's next question would be when will these games be coming to PC Steam? February 7, 2017

Good news and he is also a huge fan, who knows maybe this could be the first KT port worth buying.

I could deal better with teenager like models, but this is more child like. I can still play the game but it genuinely creeps me out when they go this far.


That's still not me crying or demanding they need to change it. Fuck Yeah

Honestly that's pretty much a problem with your imagination those anime characters don't even look remotely like normal human beings to me with their huge eyes, hair in strange colors and other non human features and i can't tell what age they are supposed to be either most of the time same with the race i don't see them as caucasian or asian unless they are explicitly have features of that race which is not the case for most anime characters.

There is a lot of psychology at work here for example this explains the race stuff a bit (likely some of the rest as well):

Yeaaah... I'm sure it has more to do with my imagination rather than them having child like facial features that a whole lot of people see when looking at those characters.

A lot of anime character pretty much have the same facial features, heck most of the time it's the same head with a different hairstyle or body (boobsize) not matter the gender or age it definitely is your brain filling in the blanks.

Seems to be a decent port if we trust Durante.

Isn't locked to 720p or something silly and runs at 60 FPS on his PC, at least.

I somehow forgot this game was coming today. That's cool.

Tried it for a few minutes. Was locked at 60FPS. The grahpical options are barebones and weird.

MSAA, shadow quality and it supports any resolution your monitor can output though I'm guessing it's VSync'ed by default since reports on the Steam forum showed the game running at up to 120 FPS for one guy.

Both this and Nights of Azure use D3D9 though Azure is 64-bit whereas this is 32-bit, pretty much the same settings too although the launcher for Sophie is pretty poorly worded though it's serviceable.

Sophie also stores the settings in a ini file and Azure stores them in the registry, you'll have to edit said reg settings for resolution support above 1920x1080 which is the cap in the launcher for some stupid reason.


EDIT: Guessing both only ship with English VO's too.
(ReShade is compatible at least so that adds a bit of SMAA on top of the fairly poor MSAA implementation.)

You can change to Japanese in the in-game settings. In this game, that is. Not sure about Nights of Azure.

Ah I haven't checked those yet, pressing ESC only displayed a "Quit game: Yes/No" prompt and it alternates between using spacebar and enter for confirming things. Razz
(Actually I think there was a setting for difficulty and audio volume from the main menu come to think of it.)

EDIT: Yeah it seems you can switch between the VO's only without it affecting text too, nice. Smile
(And it turns out Azure actually uses D3D11, not D3D9)
