A Whole New Atelier Adventure

The small fishing village of Alanya on the Arland Republic's southern border is home to the young 

alchemist-in-training Totooria Helmold. She is called Totori by her friends and family, and she 

wishes to become a great adventurer. One day, she resolves to make the journey to Arland, 

become an adventurer and explore the world beyond her hometown. She will make many friends 

along her journey of discovery - some new, some familiar. When her quest comes to a close, 

your actions over the course of the game will dictate whether she finds the answers to her 

questions, forges unbreakable bonds with friends, or takes a different path entirely.

Gameplay

As with previous games in the Atelier series, Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland is a turn-

based RPG with gameplay and combat rooted in alchemy and exploration. Events take place years 

after the previous game, continuing five-years into the future of the new heroine, Totori as she 

follows in the footsteps of her famous adventurer mother. To find out more about Totori's mother 

you become an adventurer in training yourself and explore the gameworld. Adventurers are a 

recognized profession in this world and one that is regulated via an Adventurer's License that 

contains various ranks. The rank of your license is built up by accumulating points, which in turn 

allow for greater access to areas of the gameworld. Points are gathered in a number of ways, 

including: maping out available lands, helping citizens, discovering and synthesizing new items 

that are found, discovering special landmarks and defeating monsters and bosses in combat.

Item synthesis involves obtaining recipes and then gathering objects that can be combined into 

entirely new items usable in-game. This deep system allows you to adjust secondary effects like 

the quality and traits of new items. In-game characters called Homunculi can be hired to 

automatically gather items you wish for synthesis, freeing Totori up to do other things. The 

efficiency of Homunculi can be increased by providing them with pies, which they relish. 

Battles are turn-based, initiated by random encounters with enemies. Totori can hire up to two 

party members from characters that she encounters throughout the gameworld, and she can 

change members at will. Party members can help when Totori is attacked via the game's Assist 

System, each in a specific way. These characters can also assist in attacks that Tori initiates. 

Dealing damage to enemies or using the Assist System can raise your character's Super Move 

gauges. Once filled, characters will gain access to their Super Move, which can be used to deal 

maximum damage.
