Atelier Iris 2: Destiny's Azoth

Atelier Iris ~The Azoth of Destiny~, a sequel RPG to Atelier Iris ~Eternal Mana~ for the PlayStation2 Computer Entertainment System, was developed by Gust Co, Ltd. The game allows players to create, customize, and enhance their items and weapons, as they embark on an epic adventure that crosses two different worlds and battle evil to save the world from utter destruction.

Once united in harmony, the lands of Eden and Belkhyde were torn apart by a great catastrophe. Eden, a land of Mana and alchemists, distanced itself from Belkhyde, fearing that contact with the humans and monsters there would lead to their destruction. This uneasy peace was shattered when Chaos resorted to the legendary power of alchemy to save his sister. Now, two orphans, Felt and Viese, must work together to save Eden from crumbling, with Felt transporting to Belkhyde with the power of his azoth to stop Chaos' mad quest, while Viese struggles to protect Eden from further destruction.

The story events set the stage for the player's mission: to save Eden from destruction. In the beginning of the game, Viese is the only alchemist who can create valuable Mana items, requiring the player to switch between Felt and Viese to synthesize the necessary items. Travel between destinations is conducted on a simple map, with the player able to easily point and click their desired destination.

The game's battle system has been improved from the cost turn battle system of Atelier Iris 1, with Atelier Iris 2 adopting a whole new active time battle system. Players must fight their way through various enemies and challenges to save Eden from destruction.

The world of Iris is powered by spirits called Mana, which come in various forms such as wood, flower, and lightning. Characters can work with these Mana spirits to create items and special spells to aid them in their quest.

Overall, Atelier Iris ~The Azoth of Destiny~ offers a unique and engaging RPG experience, with a compelling story, a diverse and customizable item synthesis system, and an improved active time battle system. The game's focus on the world of Mana and alchemy adds depth and complexity to the gameplay, making it a must-play for fans of the Atelier series and RPG enthusiasts alike.
