Junkhead Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Like not that I care, I'll probably play it either way. But, like, the target demographic seems slightly confusing to me. It's generally pretty heartwarming and overall rather innocent, but some of the fanservice posters and promotional material seems strictly targeted towards guys...but then the rest of it just has a pretty "girly" appeal to it. I'm really confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 it is possible that things cannot be significantly targeted at a single gender demographic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florete Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Atelier is made for guys who think they're enjoying a game for girls. 13 minutes ago, Junkhead said: apparently it's really hard to answer one simple question Tbh it's not the clearest answer to come to. The fact you asked the question should be enough evidence of that. If I were to try to give a serious answer, I would guess that it's primarily for girls but also tries to grab the demographic of male players that like playing as cute girls.

Freohr Datia Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 (edited) yes, sometimes answering you seriously can be incredibly hard but really though florete and integrity (and sophie once you turn your sarcasm detector on) basically said the same thing, just that florete was a lot more helpful and specific about it sometimes things don't target only one gender. If you're confused on which it targets, that probably means it doesn't target only one group. Edited July 29, 2018 by Freohr Datia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interdimensional Observer Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 (edited) It does appear one game had a choosable male protag, a quick read of their description on Wikipedia suggests edgeboy to me to be precise. The franchise has a slight look of being cheap prolific second/third-tier JRPGs. But at the same time, I can't say truly say bad of something I've never having tried that isn't de facto garbage. Not big on crafting, but nonetheless, of all the titles available in English, any suggestions as to which are the cream of the crop? Just in case I ever want to try just one.

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 (edited) Atelier is like Neptunia: The (adorable) characters dragged me to this series... till I noticed that they don't have much more to offer than that... Playing 2h of Shallie and Meruru were already enough to give this statement. Edited July 29, 2018 by Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a lot more fanservice-like...Atelier tends to run modest. 1 minute ago, Jules said: Playing 2h of Shallie and Meruru were already enough to give this statement.

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Sure Neptunia is more sexulaized, but it applies to both series that the presentation of the characters is a main reason for lots of people to play them. I haven't read any good criticsm about these series, and this matches with my impressions. 3 minutes ago, Junkhead said: Don't compare Atelier to that shit. >:[ ... But both are Atelier parts...
