Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream – Weather Control, Magic Gathering Spots Detailed

Koei Tecmo and Gust have released a new trailer for Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream, a follow-up to the 2015 RPG. It offers some new details on Sophie and her journey into the world of Erde Wiege, introduces some new characters like Ramizel and Diebold, and provides a look at some new mechanics. Check it out below.

Weather Control, which was available in some of the older games, returns. Using Dreamscape Stones, one can change the weather to help bypass certain obstacles along with uncovering new gathering spots. Speaking of which, there are Magic Gathering Spots which allow for obtaining superior materials. Using the right tool initiates a special mini-game – like destroying targets with the slingshot in a set time limit, catching a certain number of fish, etc.

In the midst of this land of dreams is Elvira, its creator. While Sophie does eventually reunite with her friend Plachta, things aren’t as they seem. Why did Elvira create Erde Wiege and what is her role in Plachta’s state? We’ll find out when Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream releases on February 25th 2022 for PS4, PS5 and PC.
