Years after the events of Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland , the poor kingdom of Arland has grown into a Republic. Due to the relatively weak Knights class, the citizenry helped explore and tame the land. Today, "Adventurer" is now a respected profession. A young girl named Totoria Helmold (known as Totori to her friends) leaves her small fishing village to explore Arland and find her missing mother, a once-famous Adventurer she has never known.
The twelfth game in the series, Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland , emphasizes item crafting and turn-based combat. Primary locations are navigated in third-person perspective in a three-dimensional world. A world map is available which represents these locations as nodes with discrete paths joining them. Initially, very few nodes are available. Combat occurs either randomly when moving between nodes on the world map, or is initiated when the player runs into on-screen enemies while exploring locations.
Gameplay involves accepting quests, exploring, and fighting battles to earn experience, items, recipes, and "Adventurer License Points." Recipes are required to synthesize new items. License Points enable the player to discover additional areas on the world map.
The Playstation 3 is the platform for Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland , which was released on 2010-06-24 . It falls under the RPG genre, where players can engage in turn-based combat and item crafting.
