Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream is a gorgeous new entry into the Atelier series with fresh battle mechanics, an even more in-depth alchemy system, and an intriguing story that hooks you within the first few minutes. Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy made it into our 2021 Switch GOTY list, and I look forward to finding out if Sophie lives up to its predecessor.
Recently, we had the chance to interview Atelier Sophie 2’s producer Junzo Hosoi, and got to ask him about all the new features you can sink your teeth into, learned more about the development process, and also found out what we can expect from the future of the series.
Before we dive into the questions, we recommend you take a look at our Atelier Sophie 2 preview to find out what we think of the first few hours in-game. If you can’t wait for the game to come out on February 25, go ahead and read our Atelier Ryza 2 review, it may inspire you to get into the series.
