Important: Survey Link

Hello everyone! As previous years, we start with our subreddit's community survey!

What is this event about?

This short survey aims to answer some general questions about us, the fans of our beloved franchise. We want to know which games in the franchise (and from Gust in general) you have played, which one is your favourite, and more. It should take you no more than 5–10 minutes.

Regarding the deadline, it's a tentative date. I'll start working on the results at that point, and based on the number of responses and my available free time, I'll post some infographics with partial results until we've covered everything (similar to last year's survey).

When was the last time we did this?

You can check the previous results here: 2025 | 2024

Is there something new for this year's survey?

Yes. Numerous comments in previous surveys said that it was difficult to choose one game or character as a favourite. We will keep that system to maintain consistency.

However, this year we are also asking you to name your second and third favourite games and characters. We are introducing a new system for this, as it is not comparable to previous years' surveys.

In addition, we have changed the bonus question and, of course, added Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & The White Guardian as an option.

This post is the continuation of this post, where they posted an edited image of this, hiding the food:

>Fall is here, and Karia's appetite is growing! What's Karia having for a late-night snack tonight…? Hint: It's spicy!

The second post (the one with the video), reveals Karia eating Malatang:

>The answer is...Malatang!
Full of flavor, full of happiness!

Personally, I didn't know about this Chinese food. So, for those who are in a similar position, it seems that (Wikipedia):

>Malatang is a Sichuan street food in which skewered or self-selected meats, vegetables, and noodles simmer briefly in a numbing broth seasoned with Sichuan pepper and dried chili.

Hello everyone!

It seems that Ryza and her companions are continuing their journey through the media multiverse. This time, we have a new Pachislot based on the first Atelier Ryza game.

My apologies in advance, as I don't have the necessary knowledge to provide interested fans with the basic information they need. I'll edit the post if any relevant information comes to light.

Personally: I'm not very interested in gambling... but at least we have some new character illustrations.

Based on the trailer, it's Coming Soon, so no concrete date.

This post is just about the illustration. Check this post for more information on the OST.

Hi! This is not particularly new, but I haven't found an high resolution illustration of this one, so I decided to share it.

It's a picture of Annie, Fitz and Pepe from Atelier Annie (DS Series).

To participate, you must answer the official post in the source link. It could be used as a real in-game name.

Quoting the Post:

>Look what Karia found this time.
We have no idea what to call it yet, so we're asking you. What would you name this one?
Drop your favorite idea in the replies — if it feels right to Karia, it might just stick in-game!

This is the English version of this post. My apologies, as I didn't realise at the time that we were going to have an official version in English (sometimes we do, sometimes we don't).

In any case, the campaign's official name is Karia Dev Council.

To participate, you must answer the official post in the source link. It could be used as a real in-game name.

Quoting the post:

>We need your help!
Karia's been collecting ingredients for her workshop, and this one still needs a name.
Any ideas?
Reply and tell us what you'd call it — if it catches Karia's eye, it might just become the real name in-game!

A particular campaign is currently running on one of the official Gust social media accounts. Quoting (machine translation):

>Karia Development Meeting: Call for Material Names! As part of our project to create Atelier Karia together, we’re calling for suggestions for material names!!

>What should this material be called…? 🤔 Please reply with a name that perfectly suits the material in the image! Your idea might just be chosen as the name for this material in the game…!?

Please take into account that at the time of posting this, this had only been posted on their Japanese social media.

About the Survey

(Source) As additional news, the deadline for answering Karia's survey ended some days ago. And they have also name this in name of the "Karia Development Meeting" (Of course, this name is machine-translated, so anyone can correct if there's a more suitable name):

>Thank you very much to everyone who took the time to participate in the user survey the other day.

>Currently, we are compiling and reviewing the results based on the feedback we received from all of you, so please wait just a little longer until the results are announced.

>And moving forward, in order to continue building Atelier Karia together with everyone, we plan to gather various opinions through this account. We would greatly appreciate your participation.

It seems we can expect more official community events like this. Hopefully, outside of Japan too.

At the moment, this is a JP-Exclusive project

Machine-Translated from the Official X Account:

>【Notice Regarding the Release Date】

>Regarding RyzaChat:AI which was scheduled for release today, due to receiving pre-registrations from far more people than anticipated, we have decided to reinforce the server environment in order to provide a more stable service experience for everyone.

>We have been preparing and making adjustments right up until the last moment to ensure the release could proceed as planned today. However, taking into account the tremendous response we have received from all of you, and after carefully considering whether the current environment can sufficiently withstand the load, we have prioritized delivering the service in a fully prepared state and will therefore postpone the release date.

>We sincerely apologize for the last-minute notice and for causing significant inconvenience to everyone who was looking forward to the release. At present, we are working to prepare the service as quickly as possible, aiming for a release no later than next week. We would greatly appreciate your patience for just a little while longer. The new release date will be announced again as soon as it is decided.

Hi! This is not particularly new, but I haven't found an high resolution illustration of this one, so I decided to share it. It seems it was used for a Library card, as far as I could investigate (source).

In any case, it's a picture of Annie and Lise from the DS Series.
