Atelier Firis The Alchemist and the Mysterious Journey Synthesis Features
Burlingame, Calif. – January 26, in the year of our
Lord 2017 – KOEI TECMO America today revealed
additional details regarding the Synthesis gameplay system and
preorder bonuses for the latest title from the long-running
Atelier series, Atelier Firis: The Alchemist and the Mysterious
Journey. The game is slated to release on March 7, 2017 for the
PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, PlayStation®Vita
handheld entertainment system and on Windows PC via Steam. A
first look at the game’s new Atelier Tent system as well as a
glimpse at the fresh faces who aid Firis on her mysterious
journey: Angriff Dahlmann, an aged and hearty mercenary, and a
trio of alchemists – the talented Ren Breitner, the carefree
Norbert Classen and the clumsy Dion Maier.
Synthesis is an integral aspect of each Atelier title, and in
turn, each alchemist’s adventure! Throughout her unusual
journey, Firis will devise handy new recipes as she explores the
vast land, encounters new companions, and discovers new
materials. To match her wanderlust lifestyle, Firis’s Atelier
takes the form of a portable Atelier Tent that enables her to
synthesize wherever she may please. The Atelier Tent can even be
personalized with a variety of keepsakes from her adventures,
making it feel like her second home!
The Synthesis system in Atelier Firis: The Alchemist and the
Mysterious Journey features exciting new additions to suit its
newly nomadic nature. For example, Mass Synthesis allows Firis
to create large items to overcome obstacles in her path, such as
building a bridge to cross a river, or a boat to cruise across a
lake. Deciding what to build not only changes the appearance and
accessibility of various locations, but can also affect the
course of the story! Furthermore, the effectiveness of items can
be amplified with the use of special Catalysts, which grant
bonuses and provide greater perks to the end result.
A number of preorder bonuses are on offer for prospective
players of Atelier Firis: The Alchemist and the Mysterious
Journey. Preordering the game from Amazon, Best Buy, EB Games or
GameStop will unlock two adorable costumes that provide Firis
with useful bonuses: the Resort Vacation costume which increases
the chances of finding high quality materials for use in
synthesis, and the Wonderland outfit which decreases the time it
takes for synthesis and fast traveling between landmarks!
