In addition to simple sales, how much a game has grown from its predecessor is also important when it comes to popularity.
For games that have been in a long-running series, it’s especially difficult to attract new fans, and they tend to have a fixed fan base, so games that outperform their predecessors in that situation have a lot of power.
Many of the titles in the Atelier series have surpassed their predecessors, but the three titles with the biggest gains are “Totori”, “Sophie” and “Liza”.
These three games have surpassed the other games in the series in terms of content, popularity of the characters, and popularity.

The number one character is Sophie Neuenmuller, the main character in Sophie’s Atelier.
She is a sluggish character, but she is an alchemist who has a high goal of “making everyone happy through alchemy” and is making rapid progress.
Both her visuals and her personality are very popular, and it seems that her fans were satisfied with the results.
Three characters from “Rorona” were ranked by work.
Asha” and “Eska & Logie” were the two most popular characters in the top 10.
In addition, the most popular characters are those with the most fan art.
The top five most popular fan art on pixiv are as follows
No.1 Liza’s Atelier.
No.2 Totori’s Atelier
No.3 Merle’s Atelier
No.4 Atelier of Eska and Rosie
No.5 Sophie’s Atelier
Liza, which had only been on sale for two months, came in first place with twice as many posts as Totori.
Liza’s muscular body shape became the talk of the town, and even before the game’s release, a lot of fan art was drawn on the game, which was an unusual situation.
The most popular characters seemed to be “Rorona”, “Totori”, “Sophie”, “Esca & Logy”, and “Liza”.
The largest number of reviews is for “Liza”

Liza,” which was also a big hit here, increased its sales immediately after its release.
Merle” and “Phyllis” also performed well.
This is probably due to the fact that the previous titles “Totori” and “Sophie” did well, and interest in the next one has increased.
The most popular title in the series is Totori no Atelier
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
The most popular title in the Atelier series based on data such as sales, character popularity and interest is ……
It’s Totori’s studio!
It was released as the second game in the Arland series, following the popular “Rorona”, and became a long seller, with sales up significantly.
The popularity of the game’s characters is also stable and the game is still very popular, and we judged it to be No. 1 overall.
The success of this title has brought widespread recognition to the Arland series, and the biggest factor in getting the Atelier series back on track by attracting a new fan base.
Nevertheless, “Marie”, the origin of the Atelier series, and “Sophie”, which is a game with outstanding reputation and character popularity, are also good enough to be considered No. 1 candidates.
Furthermore, the latest game, Liza, is gaining a fierce reputation, and perhaps in a few months this game will be considered a masterpiece.
Or maybe a new game yet to be seen will reign supreme in the Atelier series next year: ……?
Summary
The Atelier series is well known for the Arland series, but in terms of popularity, Sophie is no slouch at all.
And while the latest installment, Liza, was a huge hit from the first week, thanks in part to its previous success, it’s been steadily increasing in sales since then.
Having shown that the series still has room to grow, Liza looks like it’s going to be a favorite among Atelier fans for years to come!
