Atelier Ayesha, second gameplay

• I was finally able to save Ayesha's little sister, Nio!
• Keithgriff joined my party and made battles way easier to win.
• My favourite party members are Keithgriff and Wilbell.
• Always focus on the more important tasks. On my first attempt, I was so busy trying to complete the villagers' requests that I lost track of time and ended up delaying some of them because some of the items are only available in other areas which I have not explored yet, or that I don't have the recipe to synthesize them. Their first requests always have no time limit, but after that, the clock starts ticking, and there's no going back. Once a request has been delayed, you can no longer carry out any of their other requests and that means less rewards to earn.
• Nio was saved, but I still have other monsters to hunt down, and when Year 4 came, I was faced with another ending, albeit better than the previous one where I didn't get to save Nio at all. Still, I wish the game can give the player more time so that we can explore the world more freely and not get tied down by the calendar.
• I guess the ending came fast because I was so busy trying to synthesize the perfect Flower Muffin for Harry but failed :/
• The game basically has wolves, squirrels, bears, elemental spirits, dragons and slags as monsters. Their level differs along with their colours. They're later reused in Atelier Escha & Logy.
• Juris looks intimidating and large at first, but him in a suit changes my impression of him <3
  
    
• Weird Talismans and One Drop Recovery Pills are my saviors 
• So far I haven't been able to defeat a dragon properly, and I don't mean those Fairydrakes.
• The one imprisoning Nio is none other than Yggdrasil, a humongous flower bush monster made by alchemy to preserve life. Funny, I was able to defeat him, and he has 5000 HP, but for the other boss fights that has only 2000 HP I was defeated mercilessly. I guess it's because Yggdrasil has less chances in attacking my party with full force and goes solo while the rest have their homies for backup and eat up my HP in big bites.
• I should really learn how to manage my time in this game. 
• I got used to the English dub somewhat. I guess it's not bad. When I listened to the original Japanese dub, it suddenly became foreign to me.
• Yep, I prefer Pana's 'Oink moooo!' in the English dub.
• I almost cried when battling against Yggdrasil, not because he's tough until I peed my pants or anything, but because they used the soundtrack which frequently appears whenever it concerns Ayesha being sad and determined about Nio's disappearance, and they make the music more epic. The song is called Maria. So yeah, emotional moment :'(
• I love their OST. And their art. Seriously.
• Whenever I go to the bazaar downtown, I keep humming one of their soundtracks =w=lllllll 
• The Mellow Animal which Ernie gave to me is a cute bear plushie and can win in any of the Thrilling Treasure Trove contests hands-down. Take that, Harry Olsen! XD
• I should really get Nio a more powerful weapon. I mean, she only has a soup ladle, and seems to get Pana the cow involved in battles.
• Oink mooooooooooooo~
