Atelier Dusk Trilogy DX - review/recommendation 

God bless Sophie shilling for my girls + Logy

"Not many people have their PS3's still lying around." *Stares at PS3.* "And I'm not afraid to admit that I'm one of the few people that bought a PSVita" *Stares at PSVita and starts sweating.*

ok i see these games constantly on switch store and they look interesting but i wanted something like this to really understand. thank you

We miss ValkyrieAurora such good narrative reviews ;(

Props to Escha to being the only Atelier girl to get some sweet sweet romance.

I love all your Atelier content! I had never heard of them before your videos and yet your analyses are always so thoughtful, detailed, and full of personal charm that I’ve been converted. I’m gonna give the series a shot this week and I’m so thrilled to finally give them a try. Thank you for your inspiration!

Ayesha was my first Atelier game, and it remains my favorite to this day. Now that they are being released again I, too, hope that a lot of people get to love the Dusk series as much as I did.

Tq for introducing me to Atelier. Just started today brought Lulula and Ryza. Wallet flying to Atelier girls, can't wait to check out the rest of the Atelier games

The reason this series appeals to me so much (the Dusk trilogy I mean) is because Hidari's art is so beautiful, it's hard not to notice it.

Thought you'd hit me with that early morning upload in my time so I'd miss it ay Valk? Well ya thought!!

Oh, look a review about Atelier Dusk Trilogy while I'm playing Atelier Dusk Trilogy on pc Alt+tab mode for a while honestly I love atelier series.

The fact that the PS3 is now an outdated system that many people don't have anymore makes me feel old

Started the Dusk trilogy with Escha & Logy, but Ayesha is actually my favorite. Haven't played Shallie yet, so I'm definitely getting this once I'm done with my current backlog.

This is my favorite game trilogy, ever... So happy to see you covering these games once again.

When a game looks too intimidating in some way, I look up a strategy guide. I grew up in the era where you were expected to read a game manual before you played.

When I first started watching your twitch you were playing one of these games, you got me into the series and twitch viewing in general.

At last i have access to your reviews. Thanks for bringing up the content back up. Stay safe and good luck.

BEST trilogy, best characters and story, hands-down best selection of music 😍😍😍 it boggles my mind that so many people haven’t played the Dusk trilogy (even supposed “Atelier fans”); y’all need to get on it right now, ASAP. Btw, calling Ayesha the “weakest of the trilogy”..... I get where you’re coming from, but that wording does it such a disservice. Maybe it’s because I played Ayesha first myself, but the soundtrack, plot, world-building and general atmosphere it creates, at least puts it above Shallie IMO. I respect your opinion, obvs, but I just can’t call it that 🥺

The art and character designs in these games are mwa mwa mwa, beautiful

I feel like I’d get these games for Hidari’s artwork alone.

So how many of you all started in Dusk trilogy. Ayesha was my first venture into the series and it is still my favorite.

Personally, of the trilogy, I love Ayesha the most for introducing me to Keithgriff. Escha and Logy is my next favorite because I like Logy's story. As for Shallie... that one just didn't click for me.

Also the time management in 2 of these 3 is just right, in fact it's the most lenient I experienced ever. If you're from species that at least invented fire shouldn't have any problems. Meruru was hell in comparison to Ayesha and E&L.

Just bought it, enjoying it so far. I like the assortment of BGMs you can choose from. There’s some good songs that you use to replace the battle theme for the atelier game you’re playing

Yo please just do a playthrough of animal crossing Ur voice is nigh on angelic :((

You’re a fellow Vita owner as well my girl *fist bump*

Atelier Shallie was the game that got me back into the Atelier series after dropping it in Mana Khemia. Glad to be able to get them again on the Switch.

A well informative review on such a great trilogy. Keep up the great work. Your vids are always worth a second watch. Thanks again for taking the time to post a great video/perspective!

I'm an Iris boi, and started with Atelier Iris 3 back in my highschool years, then continuing with 2 and the 1st Iris game. Now I'm on a journey to finish the Dusk Trilogy this year on mah pc :3

I need to finish the Arland Trilogy first ;v;

Thanks so much for this video. I was just trying to decide if I wanted to pull the trigger on importing the physical copy of this trilogy and this video was exactly what I needed to see. I’m most certainly getting them now.

Thanks for the Video i saw the games in a recent blog and this Video came in quite handy :) btw great pacing and your clear relaxed voice & video structure makes this really pleasant to watch!

Your reviews are actually really awesome. Great work!

After playing 'Atelier Sophie' a couple of years back and falling in love with it I did a little digging into the Atelier franchise as a whole. The Dusk Trilogy was the one that I wanted too play the most; and I'm enjoying my time with Ayesha so far and can't wait too continue with this world. Before this release I've finished both the Mysterious trilogy and Arland trilogy as well as the newer games; to keep it brief the Atelier series has been my borderline obsession since booting up Sophie for the first time.

looking back after finishing ayesha and playing escha/logy im really really happy youtube recommended me to this vid.and thankyou for recommending this game to me.

Sophie sounds so much like English Kyoko Kirigiri it's uncanny... As for Atelier: I think my backlog is just too huge for now to add even more games to it. :p

I just finished ryza recently and loved it so much! It was my first atelier game besides mama khemia. So I bought the dusk trilogy to play then I'll buy arland. I hope they release the mysterious trilogy too. I would also love to hear more of your thought on ryza. Cant wait to see what game comes next

I love these games! I started with Rorona so you can say I'm biased towards the Arland Series but the Dusk trilogy is also great! Also, love your channel! Keep it up!

I have to say Ayesha has a really good presentation to a mysterious journey

Hidari is honestly a art god

I'm completely new to the Atelier series, would you recommend me start with the Dusk Trilogy or with Ryza?

I started my dusk play through last month after watching your introduction to the atelier series. I’m currently in the middle of Escha & Logy’s story and so far I’m really hooked and thankful that you’ve showed me this trilogy! Also thank god i got a Vita to play the games

"not everyone have their OLD ps3 around" i feel so old now U_U

I really hope they do a Iris Trilogy release someday, Eternal mana is still by far my favorite Atelier game and while i still have my copy and my PS2 you pretty much have to turn to emulators if you want get the games right now.

Never had a chance to play the Atelier games but this seems like a great entry point. Definitely going to pick this up.

Ayesha on PS3 was actually where I started the series and it's still my favorite so far.

Wait, you say Ayesha is the weakest of the three? That is really weird cuz everytime I asked people about the best game to start on this series, Ayesha was the one that is the most recommended and overall praised. Personally I have yet to put actual time in any of the games, but Firis and Shallie got my favorite waifus so I played them the most so far.

I'm waiting on my physical version for the Switch to get here from Playasia, can't wait to play these. I also own the other physical Atelier games for the Switch. Thank you for such informative reviews on this series

Hi! I am watching this after completing Ryza (I completed it like 5 hours ago?) And since this is an Atelier video I decided to share my feelings and experience with Ryza here. Hope you don't mind that. (Don't worry I won't spoil any major story detail) Although the ending was a happy one I found it a bit bittersweet. I actually cried for the first time in a long time while watching it. I could see what was going to happen from a mile away so I was prepared for it, but that didn't help. One of the central themes of the game is summer memories and most of the characters will soon be reaching adulthood and for me both of those are pretty recent events in my life. This made the game resonate a lot with me and made me try out Ryza as my first Atelier game. And the ending also touched upon some of my fears, so all of these so emotional. But this video is about the Dusk trilogy so I guess that I should talk a bit about it as well. Well I have only played Ryza, in fact I haven't really played video games in years since I never owned a console or a gaming PC, so I don't actually have an opinion about the Dusk trilogy. But they seem pretty interesting games like all other Atelier games, so I want to check them all out one. But I kinda spent a lot of money on Ryza a few days ago so I won't be able to buy another game for a while, be it an Atelier game or a different game.

Ever since your first atelier video, I played Rorona, bought Ryza and now will buy the dusk trilogy. I like the series more than I should, thank you for bringing it up, I would've ignored it otherwise

God bless Sophie for covering this. Thank you♥️

You probably hear this alot but your soothing voice makes these great videos even better

AHHHHH SOPHIE I MISS YOUR VOICE SO MUCH. I really really love hearing your thought about games and hopefully more! so happy that you could upload :D also, I really miss your instagram selfies, I mean, dudette, you look like a Goddess

Thank you for uploading more reviews Valkyrie. I like the idea of the Atelier games but they kind of intimidate me with the time limit thing, which is partly why I haven't finished the Arland trilogy on the Switch. Still on the first one of them.

I'm continuously impressed by the high quality of your content, and the amount of work you put into it... that you happen to review some wonderful games along the way is just icing on the cake. ^.^ I'm thrilled that the Dusk trilogy has finally arrived... even if it does increase my games backlog by three.

These are on sale for 20% off on the Switch right now and I picked up the bundle as an Easter treat. I'm bumbling my way through Ayesha, and the more I let myself acknowledge that I may screw it up--and jot down things I learn in case I need to try again--the more fun I'm having. I love the art style, character designs, music, etc. The overall game is pretty chill in how it's played--the challenge comes in discovering stuff organically and then realizing how doing things differently could have shaved off time.

it's amazing that these games look so aesthetically pleasing and beautiful while also looking incredibly simple. i like it. i should definitely try out one of these games. nice video

I was really hoping once I saw the trilogy appear on the eshop you would talk about them. Yesss.

I really like your Atelier videos. Btw, Ayesha is my favorite Atelier so far (I've played all Ateliers since Iris).

Girl dont worry I was late joining this series too. My second game from this franchise I'm playing is Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout

I bought the Arland trilogy during the last black Friday sale, I'll pick this one up when it's on sale as well, let's just say i have a bit of a back log to work through first lol

Wow, Ayesha stands out to me by leaps and bounds among the entire trilogy. The music is gorgeous, the world feels huge, synthesis and combat are solid. What's not to love?....I loved the complete change in tone after coming directly from Meruru. :). Escha and Logy I absolutely hated, and quit playing the first ending I got. Full stop - Moving on. Shallie is great, but the lack of time limit has made it drag for me, so in the meantime it's shelved while I distract myself with some Switch games I got during the holidays (wheee!). I can say with certainty now that it's released in English, Ayesha will be the only Dusk game I will buy the English version of.

Playing Escha and Logy now! What a great story and the voice acting is so good!

Did not realize the ports got released this week. Excited to revisit the Linca, err I mean, Dusk Trilogy.

I don’t know why but your Intro always reminds me so much of the opening song of SMT Digital Devil Saga 1.

Always enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work

Thank you for this. I've lost touch with niche JRPGs, so your reviews are really helpful.

oh my god I just bought my first Atelier game like five minutes ago thanks to your videos!! Perfect timing aha

Escha and Lodgy was also my first Atelier game back when I had a Vita and it still remains my favorite even playing the Mysterious series. While I haven't played the Arland trilogy, I still love the series, but I was may more excited to play Escha and Lodgy again over any of the others and now it's finally that time X3.

for someone who start on escha & logy i gotta say the graphics is dope and im so addicted to this games. the time limit is really suck but still really good games and best design xd.

I was really thinking about buying the 3 games for the switch and after watching this video, its really clear that i'll buy it now. I love the Atelier games!!

Glad to hear about the quality of life improvements. I was expecting better optimization, but it's good to hear it from someone that's seen it in action and can compare it to the original. The Arland ports were great so I'm happy they haven't gotten lazy. These are dropping at a great time too. Best franchise around for making January suck less.

Had a PS3 and Vita... And still never found this series. As I'm primarily a PC gamer now I'm so glad they've been ported! Finally get a chance to play what I missed!

Your "mumbling" is magical - we need more content with you speaking. A man can dream...

Ahh its feels good that these games are getting recognized more and more nowadays >.

I was brand spanking new to the franchise. It was the first game I saw and both it and Sophie are how I entered the Atelier Franchise.

Jurie's design is such a mood. Beautiful, serious, but a dash of, what, joy? Happiness? I love the designs of the Atelier games alone.

I really love your intro even tho I've seen and heard it multiple times now 😍

Been getting into the series. I just started Sophie, having bought the Mystery trilogy. I also grabbed Sophie 2, just in case, since I found it new for really cheap. Then, I have Ryza on the horizon as well. I am really enjoying Sophie, so I have a feeling I may end up with a bunch of these games rather soon. Thank you for the video.

I haven't played any Atelier game yet but I've always wanted to especially this specific trilogy since I'm a fan of Hidari and her amazing illustrations.

the dusk trilogy was also my intro to this series. I love these games so much!!!

The real deal is in atelier iris games and mana khemia from the ps2 era, best stories so far in my opinion and they never get old for me. Good video, love your voice!

I've loved this series for a long time as well! I'd defo watch you playing through the series as i sadly dont have the opportunity/ energy to play it for myself

I like how you have a drawing of yourself at the end that looks like an Atelier character lol

As one of the Ayesha's (and the DUSK trilogy itself) fan. I never introduced the DUSK trilogy to play 1st. I always recommend the Arland and/or Mysterious line. As they were more (you could say) beginner friendly. In any case, nice review.

I still have, play, and love my copy of Atelier Escha and Logy for my Playstation 3

I was looking at the Atelier sales on steam and felt kinda lost. Four games that are relatively new to the platform and all seeming to be a valid place to start, all of them super visually appealing. Pretty daunting. So yes, this is a very welcome video! Also, I don’t have a Vita, but I have a PSTV 😁

Glad to hear I wasn't the only one in the world who bought a Vita. It was nice to have a whole section of my local Gamestop to myself, though.

Bless as they made it into the ps store and are on sale

I don't have a PS3 even now. I remember watching youtube playthroughs of them and always wanted to play them ever since. Now I have a decent laptop enough to play them and they're quite affordable price on steam, I can finally play them. Forgot to mention there's a tv anime series of Escha & Logy.

Just checked the eshop and the total install size for the trilogy is 16.2gb, a switch cartridge is 32... So the only thing keeping this from a physical release is the price, so that just means we may have to wait a year. Never had these on any other platform so I'm hopeful this will get released so that i can play them without adding three more game cases to my collection

The dusk series was my first in the series. I'm so glad they brought it to the PS4. Also Escha is best wifu hands down.

I played Ayesha on Vita and liked a bunch to start Escha and Logy

Also side note, there’s an anime available for Atelier Escha & Logy

I saw this trilogy in the upcoming section of the nintendo eshop, and since I remember seeing these atelier games there all the time, and I'm into jrpgs and cute girls, I was seriously considering preordering them. I decided to learn a little more about the series before I made any purchases, so I looked for a video about the atelier series, and I found your video that went through the whole series explaining what each of them were about. After that, I not only knew I needed to get into this series, but I knew it needed to be the dusk trilogy as well. And in the process, I've found a new youtuber/streamer to watch, and I've just loved everything of yours that I've watched in the past week or so. I just want to say thank you for getting me into this series, and thank you for being an awesome content creator!

I just started playing atelier games I bought rorona, it's pretty fun so far :-0

the only atelier game I've had the chance to play was Rorona. i loved the designs but unfortunately I forget why I dropped off. between you and clemps, I've been thinking of diving in a second time. the idea of more slice-of-life / alchemy workshop moments in-between combats and dungeoning seems like something I really need rn. I'll be going through your other atelier vids, but I'll def buy this trilogy when I can. $90 CAD for 3 whole JRPGS sounds like a bargain :V

I loved this trilogy so much T^T It was the very first one I ever played. I still have Ayesha on my ps3 back home and Atelier Shallie on my ps vita. I never got to play Atelier Escha and Logy, sadly, because I could never find it, but I did watch the anime. ^w^ I can't wait to play these again.

You brought me into the atelier series. Thank you. I own sophie, firis, the dusk trilogy, ryza and lulua ^=^

Can’t wait to experience exploring into the “new” world at end of Atelier Escha and Logi with Awin again.
