Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & The Envisioned Land was one of my favorite games period last year. It added a lot to the Atelier series, though it also streamlined it and removed other parts. At Nintendo’s Direct yesterday, we got an announcement that the series was continuing with Atelier Karia: The Night Kingdom & The Guide of Memories.
My favorite arc in the Atelier games is Sophie’s arc. She is the main character, but later on in her story, she becomes a mentor to other alchemists in the series. It looks like Yumia is becoming a mentor in the same regard to Karia. Karia in the trailer seems to be looking for her memories, as the only thing she remembers, as emphasized in this trailer, is her name. She mentions Yumia as someone who is doing her best with alchemy. So it is definitely connected to that same world. Plus, it name-drops...
