Atelier Marie + Elie: Salburg no Renkinjutsushi 1 & 2 English translation
アトリエ マリー+エリー ～ザールブルグの錬金術師 1・2～
An English patch for Gust's PS2 double pack of the first two Atelier games, the alchemy-shop RPGs that started the long-running series.
The games
The first two Atelier games are less about dungeons than about time. Marie, and later Elie, enrol at the Salburg academy and have a few in-game years to graduate. You plan each day: go out to gather ingredients, fight a little along the way, take requests from the townsfolk and spend days at the cauldron turning materials into potions, tools and gear. This PS2 package collects both games with updated presentation.
What's translated
The patch puts the collection into English; version 1.01 is the release listed for it. Translation is credited to aquagon, with hacking by RyleFury and help from others on the team.
