Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland is the eleventh mainline entry in Gust Corporation's Atelier series and the first in its "Arland" subseries. Released in 2009 for the PlayStation 3 and featuring character designs by Mel Kishida (known for his work on Hanasaku Iroha, Heaven's Memo Pad, and later Gust's Blue Reflection series), it was the first Atelier title to be made in full 3D and is generally considered to be the first title in the "modern" series. The English version, handled by NIS America, was released in 2010.One day, a young apprentice alchemist named Rorolina Frixell ("Rorona" for short) receives a message from the government: due to recent advancements in technology, they will no longer support the art of alchemy and have made plans to shut her workshop down. The only way that Rorona can change their mind is by carrying out a series of tasks over the next three years designed to prove that alchemy can still be relevant in an era that won't be in Medieval Stasis for much longer. With her alchemy teacher being too lazy and apathetic to care, it falls to Rorona to develop her alchemy skills and save her workshop from closure. In doing so, Rorona bonds with the townspeople around her, getting to know about their personal troubles and aspirations while coming to understand the meaning of working to help others.After the series' attempt at a Darker and Edgier Genre Shift with the Iris and Mana Khemia games resulted in some of the franchise's worst sales at the time, Gust decided to have the series go back to its original roots as a Slice of Life Item Crafting series. As such, Rorona serves as a functional callback to the original Atelier Marie, being a Time Management Game with a low-stakes Slice of Life story and a heavy focus on Character Development. The result was a breakout hit that revitalized the series, leading to two immediate sequels in the following "Arland" subseries (Totori and Meruru) as well as a long line of successors that would follow in its wake. Another sequel featuring Rorona's daughter, Atelier Lulua, was released in 2019.Being a landmark title for the Atelier series, Rorona has seen quite a few rereleases: A remake titled Atelier Rorona Plus (titled New Atelier Rorona: Story of the Beginning in Japan) was released for the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 3 in 2013. While Gust had been making Updated Re-release "Plus" versions of their games for the Vita, Rorona was in need of a more significant graphics and system overhaul to be on par with later titles, so it was given a full remake and even accompanied by a PS3 version. It also adds extra party members and an additional "Overtime" session taking place after the events of the main game, featuring sequel protagonists Totori and Meruru arriving via Time Travel and adding events that help connect Rorona's story to its sequels. The English version of Plus was handled by Koei Tecmo instead of NIS America, although the latter's original script was still reused for all of the base game's dialogue. The Japan-only Koei Tecmo mobile game Atelier Questboard (2014-2020) was a somewhat loose adaptation of Rorona's story with new art for certain scenes, some extra events, and some crossover visits from other Atelier series characters. A version of Rorona Plus for the Nintendo 3DS was also released in 2015, featuring a heavily simplified battle system and a short prequel story "Atelier Astrid" that serves as A Day in the Limelight for Rorona's mentor Astrid. Unlike other releases based on Plus, this one was never released outside Japan. An Updated Re-release of Plus titled Atelier Rorona DX was released in 2018 as part of the Atelier Arland Series Deluxe Pack for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Steam. The contents are largely untouched from the PS3 version of Rorona Plus, but it includes all of its Downloadable Content by default and some minor additional elements.A novel titled Atelier Rorona: Rorona and the Great Alchemist was released in 2010, depicting a side story taking place during the events of the game involving the characters putting on a play with a story that just so happens to resemble the story of a certain other alchemist.

Age Lift: Official manuals for the NISA English version list Rorona, Cordelia, Iksel, Sterk, Tantris, and Lionela all as three years older than they were in the original Japanese release. This gets rolled back in later games that retroactively work off the assumption they were at their Japanese version ages for this one.

Likes Older Men: Cordelia is very taken by the 48-year-old Gio and considers a gap of over thirty years to be "not bad". He himself finds this to be somewhat discomforting. Rorona is implied to have developed a Precocious Crush on Sterk in his ending, but since he ends up going on to be her full-on Ship Tease partner in future games, it's hard to say whether this would have applied to anyone else besides him.

Warp Whistle: Eventually, Rorona will be able to create and wholesale a Wind Rider from one of the recipe books. This item will allow the player to leave a dungeon without taking up the days it would normally take to travel back, which will end up saving a lot of time the player could use for other things.

You know the kind of Hands-Off Parenting that you'd often see in this sort of setting? For Rorona, that's outright Parental Neglect, and her strong sense of independence comes from the fact she doesn't have a choice. Astrid, who's only in her twenties, is basically juggling the role of both a parent and a sibling in order to take care of her.

Multiple Endings
 Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77
comment
Multiple Endings: If you count every possible ending, there are effectively up to a whole 14. In actuality, it's more accurate to describe them as eight endings, with the True, Good, and Normal versions having specific character variants: Bad Ending: Obtained if Rorona fails any assignment. The atelier is closed, a factory is built where it used to be, and Astrid and Rorona are forced to leave town and never come back. Normal Ending: Obtained if Rorona receives a high number of stars on her assignments but has a low popularity level. Rorona will keep the workshop but be unable to turn it into a profitable business out of not getting enough customers, and she refuses to do the few that she does get because they aren't challenging her enough. She decides to go off on a journey instead, and either Tantris or Lionela can join her. Good Ending: Obtained if Rorona received a low amount of stars on her assignments but had a high popularity level. Rorona will be swarmed with customers at her workshop due to her popularity, but her low alchemy skills result in her blowing up her assignments on a regular basis. Sterk (having been told to "take care of Rorona" by Astrid) may move in to help her, or Rorona may close the workshop and work for Iksel's restaurant instead. True Ending: Obtained if Rorona receives a high amount of stars on her assignments and had a high popularity level. Rorona will be unable to keep up with the huge amount of orders she receives from the city's populace. Cordelia may take over as the workshop manager to help stem the flow, or Gio may appoint her as the royal alchemist so that she can work in peace. Pie Master Ending: Obtained if Rorona synthesizes all of the pies with 80 quality or higher. Rorona feels unfulfilled and decides to do what she really wants to do: open a pie shop instead. Half of the pies are still made with alchemy. Adventurer Ending: Obtained by finishing Cordelia's events and having both of them reach adventurer level 50, defeating the Iron Giant and Demon, and flagging all of the True Ending requirements. Rorona continues working as usual, but she and Cordelia seem to be more preoccupied with slaying huge monsters than anything else. Rich Ending: Obtained if Rorona collects over 1 million cole (something that will most likely require being on a New Game Plus run). Rorona decides to take a break and lie around all day in her giant pile of money. Everyone else is concerned but decides to let her rest after all the hard work she'd done. The narration says that she'll eventually get back to work... probably. Astrid Ending: Obtained by finishing every character's event chains and flagging all of the True Ending requirements. With Rorona's business booming, she and her friends continue with their daily lives until a rival atelier pops up in town. The atelier turns out to be run by Astrid, who'd returned from her journey after her business had done better than expected, and she and Rorona have a tearful reunion. Totori confirms this to be the canon ending. Plus also has two endings for Overtime, one where the alchemists succeed at making the True Dragon Hourglass and one where they don't.

My Name Is ???: Every character other than Astrid is called ??? before their names are given, but special note goes to Sterk in the opening cutscene: "???" knocks before entering the shop, but doesn't give his name before his business is concluded and he leaves, and it takes him introducing himself for the ??? to change, instead of the second ??? giving his name as "Sterk".

It's nice that a member of royalty actually gets to help out in the party, but if he has the free time to do that, it brings up questions of how necessary his position actually is.

If you miss the deadline for an assignment, Astrid will bail Rorona out by having her show Sterk an old letter Astrid had been holding onto. We're not told what the contents are, but they're apparently so embarrassing that upon recognizing it, Sterk panics, fudges the results, and tells Rorona that he won't let her do that again. Based on the context, it's inferable that it was probably a Love Letter he'd sent Astrid in their youth, an implication that's further reinforced in the 3DS version's "Atelier Astrid" scenario.

Black Comedy: For a game that's mostly a low-stakes Slice of Life story about appreciating the people around you, Rorona sure has a lot of it: Astrid's penchant for Comedic Sociopathy, Rorona creating a living pie that she still plans to eat, the fact Rorona's parents care more about traveling than her, and more. Some of this is taken much more seriously in Lulua.

comment
Low Fantasy: The only "standard" elements of low fantasy missing are the "grittiness" and the low magic. Even by Atelier standards, Rorona is as non-epic as a videogame can get: the setting is dominated completely by humanity, and the setting of the game is tightly confined to Arland City and its environs within no more than a week or two's march.

Street Urchin: Lionela starts the game out as a homeless street performer with only the (relatively ragged) clothes on her back and her puppets for company. She's also heavily depressed to the point she's projecting split personalities on her puppets and magically animating them because she doesn't have faith she can make actual friends. The player can, of course, decide how much they wish to interact with Lionela and help her out of her situation.

Is It Something You Eat?: Rorona's reaction to creating a Ruby Prism? It would make a good pie filling. Lulua indicates that said pie — a pie with a rock smack in the middle of it that'll break your teeth if you take a bite — was canonically the item she turned in for her final assignment as her greatest creation.

Noodle Incident: It's indicated that Astrid and Sterk were in some kind of relationship in the past, but the only details we get to hear about it are few and far between. If you miss the deadline for an assignment, Astrid will bail Rorona out by having her show Sterk an old letter Astrid had been holding onto. We're not told what the contents are, but they're apparently so embarrassing that upon recognizing it, Sterk panics, fudges the results, and tells Rorona that he won't let her do that again. Based on the context, it's inferable that it was probably a Love Letter he'd sent Astrid in their youth, an implication that's further reinforced in the 3DS version's "Atelier Astrid" scenario. We're also not told what exactly led to their breakup, other than the fact it was significant enough for things to be awkward between them yet not nasty enough to make them utterly despise each other. Sterk claims he wasn't dumped but still seems to be very antsy over the whole thing, and while Astrid loves teasing him about it, it's hinted she harbors some resentment about him being allied with the royal palace. Apparently, Astrid had used him to test a potion and "enjoy his body" against his will, but whether the aforementioned breakup had anything to do with this is unclear.

You can find a few odd bits of high-technology that have been made to work in the city, such as the holographic bulletin board in the city square.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland (Video Game) / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: The game features a more grounded take on a lot of expectations a player would have for an Eastern RPG in a Medieval Stasis-esque setting: You know the kind of Hands-Off Parenting that you'd often see in this sort of setting? For Rorona, that's outright Parental Neglect, and her strong sense of independence comes from the fact she doesn't have a choice. Astrid, who's only in her twenties, is basically juggling the role of both a parent and a sibling in order to take care of her. At one point, Rorona asks Sterk if knights like him do things like saving princesses and slaying dragons, to which he replies that she must have read too many fantasy books... before telling her that it's also why he wanted to be a knight in the first place, only to be disappointed when it turned out to be a lot of paperwork, dealing with higher-ups he doesn't like, and not getting to use his battle skills much during peacetime. Nevertheless, he's still very attached to his job and devoted to the fundamental principle of protecting others. Despite Cordelia technically being nobility, it's because her family bought the title, and she's still a kid who has to sell off her own possessions when trying to be Rorona's secret Mysterious Benefactor. Tantris is a Wandering Minstrel... because he's estranged from his father and is trying to run away from the idea of doing anything productive with his life. It's nice that a member of royalty actually gets to help out in the party, but if he has the free time to do that, it brings up questions of how necessary his position actually is. That super-powerful bomb you just made to blow up your enemies? It's probably going to blow you up too. It is a bomb, after all.

Cutting Off the Branches: Since there are a ton of different ways events can go, it's possible for one playthrough to be completely different from another, but the sequels confirm certain versions of events to be canon: Rorona beats Sterk at the Royal Festival, her item turned in for the final assignment is the Ruby/Philosopher's Pie, and the Astrid ending is canon (thus also meaning Rorona got high evaluations on all of her assignments, achieved high popularity, and went through everyone's character event stories). Nelke confirms that Rorona becoming the Cabbage Girl is also canon.

You Lose at Zero Trust: After Lionela first arrives in town, if the player doesn't immediately get her friendship level high enough, she will move on to another town and never return to Arland. The player will also be locked out of the better endings if Rorona's popularity level isn't high enough.

Lost Technology

comment
Lost Technology: The game opens up with a backstory of Arland containing ruins of advanced technology that was left behind by an ancient civilization. They were excavated and reversed-engineered by a passing traveler who showed the people of Arland how the tech worked, which in turn made their daily lives easier. This doesn't get explored in much depth in this game and is usually treated as more of a Funny Background Event (a digital screen in the middle of a town that otherwise looks like Victorian Britain) or a Riddle for the Ages, but it returns as a major plot point in Lulua.

Gameplay and Story Segregation: Plus allows the player to manually select which ending they want out of the ones they've fulfilled the requirements for (a quality of life update that was added in Ayesha and after). Some of these endings involve Rorona either failing to make her atelier popular or focusing too much on popularity without improving her alchemy skills. For the sake of convenience, the player can still pick one of these endings even if Rorona has enough skill and/or popularity to get a better ending, so it's possible to proceed with an ending that shows Rorona in significantly more dire straits than the player had gotten her in.

New Game Plus: After beating the game with a cleared save, the player can start a new game with all of the money from the last game. In the original game, this only applied to money and functionally only served to make the early game easier and contribute to building up for the Rich Ending, but Plus allows the player to transfer equipment and decorations as well, saving the player a lot of time (both in-game and in real-life playtime).

Dub-Induced Plot Hole
 Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland (Video Game) / int_6a85e9e1
comment
Dub-Induced Plot Hole: NISA's English version of Iris had given the Philosopher's Stone a Dub Name Change to "Ruby Prism", a change that the Rorona localization also kept for consistency. The problem is that much of the humor regarding Astrid being flabbergasted about Rorona using the ultimate goal of all alchemists to make a pie doesn't really make sense anymore, because there's no explanation as to what's so special about this rock called a Ruby Prism. Lulua goes ahead and makes it the Philosopher's Pie again, restoring the joke but resulting in an Inconsistent Dub.

Passing the Torch: In fact, Astrid's "laziness" was actually her plan to put Rorona in a position where she could run the atelier all by herself, allowing Astrid to fully transfer it to her and leave town to rebuild her own career. The first major hint towards this is at the beginning of the final year, when Astrid suddenly asks Rorona "do you like alchemy?" out of nowhere as if wanting to confirm Rorona would be happy with continuing with it as a career, but it's not until the very end of the game when she reveals the truth outright.

Rorona is given a mild amount with most of her party members: Iksel is a Childhood Friend who's commented on as being Like an Old Married Couple with Rorona in his ending, Tantris is implied to have feelings for her, Cordelia and Lionela can be argued to possibly as well, and Rorona is hinted to have a Precocious Crush on Sterk in his ending, which involves him moving in while he's at it. Gio is the only one whose treatment is completely neutral, since he's basically just a Reasonable Authority Figure who cares about Rorona for perfectly understandable reasons.

At one point, Rorona asks Sterk if knights like him do things like saving princesses and slaying dragons, to which he replies that she must have read too many fantasy books... before telling her that it's also why he wanted to be a knight in the first place, only to be disappointed when it turned out to be a lot of paperwork, dealing with higher-ups he doesn't like, and not getting to use his battle skills much during peacetime. Nevertheless, he's still very attached to his job and devoted to the fundamental principle of protecting others.

Didn't Think This Through: The seventh assignment takes place during the month of summer and involves Rorona making Ice Bombs and Spring Cups to help people get through the summer heat... but since an assignment takes place over three months, it's already fall by the time of the evaluation. Sterk is embarrassed and promises to not mess up like that again. Rorona, being an airhead, is especially prone to this. In Sterk's event chain, Rorona ends up taking Sterk with her to the Ster Highlands despite him having warned her to stay away from it, and when Sterk asks her why she'd brought him with her knowing he'd get mad at her for it, Rorona admits that she hadn't thought about it that far and had invited Sterk out of habit because that's what she always does when she goes out.

Revisiting the Roots: The game was intended to be this for the Atelier series. After the more standard "save the world" style of the Iris and Mana Khemia games, Rorona returns to the Time Management Game gameplay and Slice of Life storytelling used by the first five games. The result was successful enough for the rest of the series to follow, thus re-solidifying the series' brand as a Slice of Life series.

Production Throwback
 Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland (Video Game) / int_985f0a0f
comment
Production Throwback: Being a game made for Revisiting the Roots, Rorona pulls very strongly from the original Marie in terms of how it handles its format, party structure, and calendar system. In particular, the final assignment is for Rorona to show the palace the greatest item she can come up with, the same as Marie's overall goal in her game. The Rorona and the Great Alchemist spinoff novel lampshades this by having the characters put on a play with Marie's story and casting most of them as the characters they're expies of; Rorona is cast as Marie and finds that she identifies with her quite a lot.

Difficult, but Awesome: Sterk and Gio have the highest hiring fees in the game (something Rorona holds a Petty Childhood Grudge over Sterk for in following games). This can make hiring them prohibitive for a player in the early game, but they have the skills and power to match. Plus adds Astrid, who's this multiple times over as the unambiguously most terrifying party member available... at an equally terrifying cost of 9980 cole per outing.

Taking the Bullet: Near the end of Sterk's event chain, he ends up shielding Rorona with his own body when she lets her guard down around a dragon. He ends up in the hospital for three months while Rorona is deeply remorseful, but he treats it as something to be proud of because it means he got to be a real Knight in Shining Armor by protecting a girl with his own body. This incident ends up coming back with a vengeance in Lulua, and by that time, it's not treated as funny anymore.

Parental Neglect: Rorona's parents are constantly traveling despite the fact their daughter is working tirelessly to not get run out of town, and if she does get kicked out, they do absolutely nothing about it. One has to wonder how her parents can go on so many trips without showing any concern for her well-being. Despite Astrid being the epitome of Brilliant, but Lazy, it's clear she's doing a much better job raising Rorona than they are.

We're also not told what exactly led to their breakup, other than the fact it was significant enough for things to be awkward between them yet not nasty enough to make them utterly despise each other. Sterk claims he wasn't dumped but still seems to be very antsy over the whole thing, and while Astrid loves teasing him about it, it's hinted she harbors some resentment about him being allied with the royal palace.

Work Off the Debt
 Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland (Video Game) / int_ab802f4b
comment
Work Off the Debt: This is the reason Rorona's livelihood depends on the atelier surviving even though it's technically Astrid's. Rorona is working for her in order to pay off a debt she'd incurred when Astrid had cured her parents from a near-fatal disease, so if the atelier is shut down and Astrid is run out of town, she's going to take Rorona with her. The 3DS version's "Atelier Astrid" scenario reveals that Astrid won't consider the debt repaid unless Rorona works for "three thousand years", basically making Rorona her slave for life. At the end of the game, Astrid reveals that her real plan was to use the ordeal to transfer the atelier to Rorona entirely, meaning the entire thing was just a pretense.

Final Boss: Rorona is notable for not having one at all; it has two high-level enemies required for some late-game materials and the Adventurer Ending, but it's theoretically possible to finish the entire game with only three plot-manded battles on your record. If anything, the Final Boss could be considered to be the final assignment.

Playable Epilogue: Overtime in Plus basically serves as this, since the only concrete goal over a whole year is to make the True Dragon Hourglass, and the schedule is significantly more lenient while there are only a few scattered, non-plot-impactful character events. It's also not possible to continue character event chains that were left incomplete in the main game.

Idle Animation: Rorona yawns if she's left alone for a little while, and more animations were added in Plus.

Take Care of the Kids
 Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland (Video Game) / int_d19f540a
comment
Take Care of the Kids: A non-fatal variant. Near the end of the game, as Astrid starts making preparations to leave town, she approaches Sterk and asks him to "take care of Rorona." While Sterk would have done so anyway, the request is particularly striking to him because she'd asked him in an uncharacteristically sincere manner, thus effectively acknowledging her own role as Rorona's Parental Substitute and revealing that she considers Sterk to be the one she would trust with Rorona the most. It's because of this that he goes as far as moving into the atelier himself to help an overwhelmed Rorona in his ending.

Schmuck Bait: At one point, Hom gives Rorona a bottle with a label saying not to open it. If you follow the warning (which, of course, you really should), Meredith lampshades this by commenting that most kids would do the opposite of what they're told.

Everyone Can See It: An unusual example in that quite a few people around Sterk and Rorona notice how close they're getting and suspect something going on between them or tease them about it. The part they're wrong about is that Sterk has no such intentions at all, and he's helping her because he's a Nice Guy who genuinely cares about her as someone who needs all the help she can get. But it is true that they have a deeper bond with each other than they do with most others, setting the tone for things starting to intensify during the next game...

Ship Tease
 Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland (Video Game) / int_dcb9c541
comment
Ship Tease: Rorona is given a mild amount with most of her party members: Iksel is a Childhood Friend who's commented on as being Like an Old Married Couple with Rorona in his ending, Tantris is implied to have feelings for her, Cordelia and Lionela can be argued to possibly as well, and Rorona is hinted to have a Precocious Crush on Sterk in his ending, which involves him moving in while he's at it. Gio is the only one whose treatment is completely neutral, since he's basically just a Reasonable Authority Figure who cares about Rorona for perfectly understandable reasons. Rorona and the Great Alchemist has Rorona and Sterk act out the roles of Marie and Kreis in their in-universe play, something that sticks out because Sterk is usually considered to be an Expy of Enderk and doesn't resemble Kreis much in personality or position at all. However, Kreis does happen to be the character known for being in a Belligerent Sexual Tension relationship with Marie... something it turns out Astrid had been well aware of when she put a Love Confession line from him into the script.

No Antagonist: Technically speaking, there's Meredith, but he's such a Harmless Villain that it's hard to see him as a driving force behind the plot, especially since it's acknowledged that Gio could technically just call off the order to shut down the workshop if Rorona really wanted him to. The story ends up being more about Rorona's struggle to meet the demands of the people around her.

Friend to All Living Things: Tantris's introduction is a reference to the trope, as well as a subversion since he's almost entirely unlike the average example of the trope.

Purely Aesthetic Era: Arland is visually based on Victorian Britain, but the Schizo Tech and existence of commonplace alchemy has enough of an influence on the local culture that everything is a total Anachronism Stew, and, other than the fact it has the apprenticeship system and a soon-to-be-outdated nobility, social dynamics seem to be largely the same as they would be in 21st-century Japan.

Creator's Show Within a Show: The Rorona and the Great Alchemist novel has the characters put on a play based on the events of Atelier Marie, serving as a novel-length Lampshade Hanging for Rorona being a Production Throwback to it. The play's script is based on a story Astrid had told Rorona many times before but kept changing the ending every time for some reason (the in-universe explanation being that it was a mixture of stories of multiple different alchemists and that it was something Astrid herself had heard from her own master, referencing the legacy of games passed down from Atelier Marie to Rorona).

Time Management Game: After five games of its absence, Rorona restores the in-game clock and spans the course of three years. The calendar of events is noticeably more complex than that of most Atelier games, and it takes such a Wide-Open Sandbox approach to its events that a large fraction of events will be inevitably missed on a given run.

Ambidextrous Sprite
 Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland (Video Game) / int_f5a22215
comment
Ambidextrous Sprite: Talking sprites are generally drawn with the character at a three-quarter view facing the left side of the screen, so if the character is moved to the left, they're flipped horizontally to face the right side. This is especially glaring because Rorona is usually placed on the left during dialogue scenes, but her design is not symmetrical, meaning the player will be seeing Rorona's hat ornament and dangling hair on the wrong side for most of the game.
