''Atelier Firis'' is the eighteenth game in the ''VideoGame/{{Atelier}}'' series and the second game of the Mysterious sub-series. Firis Mistlud is a young girl who lives with her overprotective parents and doting sister Liane in the underground mining village of Ertona. Firis has never left her home village since birth and obsesses over seeing the world outside but her parents and the village elder forbid it. Firis instead earns her keep by aiding the miners using her unique power to sense priceless ores within ordinary rocks. Then one day a pair of alchemists, Sophie and Plachta, forcibly destroy the entrance gate to the village. Firis is eager to learn of the craft when Sophie demonstrates its power and shows her around her [[BiggerOnTheInside bigger on the inside]] atelier. Firis proves to have an innate talent for the alchemy and immediately latches onto it as a way to finally leave Ertona. After Firis proves her seriousness in learning alchemy to her family and the elder by using it to perform tasks to help the development of Ertona, they grant Firis her wish to journey outside... but under the condition that she has only one year to demonstrate her independence by taking the alchemy exam in Reisenberg and becoming a licensed alchemist. Firis promptly packs her bags and sets off on her [[TitleDrop mysterious journey]] with her sister in tow, eager to prove her capability so she can explore the outside world forever...

* [[UniversalAdaptorCast Universal Adaptor Character]]: As with Logy and Pamela in the previous entry, [[VideoGame/AtelierEschaAndLogyAlchemistsOfTheDuskSky Escha]] is this.

* HenpeckedHusband: Bernd. So much so that he has to has to store a [[HiddenSupplies secret stash]] of money he's given.

* InternalReveal: [[spoiler:Norbert reveals in internal monologue that he's Liane's birth father, but doesn't tell her.]]

* BareYourMidriff: As expected of this series. Particularly Plachta and Drossel.

* MythologyGag: Logy keeps a bust of [[VideoGame/AtelierRorona Hagel]] in his workshop. In addition, busts of Hagel show up throughout the game as collectibles and obstacles. This appears to be {{Foreshadowing}} the appearance of this universe's Hagel [[AtelierLydieAndSuelleTheAlchemistsAndTheMysteriousPaintings in the following game]].

* ExposedToTheElements: In the snowy village of Flocke, Firis will complain about the cold, and a kindly old woman will offer to make her a warmer outfit after a sidequest. The Snow Bright suit you get from this does have a coat, mittens, and a wool hat... but it also has ZettaiRyouiki which leaves part of her thighs exposed. It still gives enough protection to slow down your stamina drain in snowy areas. And of course, outside of this one scene, Firis doesn't seem to have much of an issue wearing the lighter outfits in her wardrobe.
* {{Expy}}: Drossel is a gender flip expy of [[VideoGame/AtelierSophieTheAlchemistOfTheMysteriousBook Fritz]], except she uses an axe rather than two swords.

* PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo: A version of Escha from ''[[VideoGame/AtelierEschaAndLogyAlchemistsOfTheDuskSky Atelier Escha & Logy]]'' appears in this game, though here she is a very young girl while this version of Logy is almost 30. They do form a close mentoring relationship and following all of Escha's side quests [[spoiler: eventually shows her learning how to use alchemy.]]

''Atelier Firis'' is the eighteenth game in the ''VideoGame/{{Atelier}}'' series and the second game of the Mysterious series. Firis is a young girl who lives with her parents and sister Lianne in the underground mining village of Ertona. She has never left her home village since birth and wants to go on a journey to see the outside world but can't thanks to her overbearing parents and the village elder. One day when she meets Sophie and Plachta, from the previous game, after they forcibly destroy the entrance gate to the village. Sophie explains that she made the bombs with alchemy and shows Firis her [[BiggerOnTheInside bigger on the inside]] atelier. Mystified by the power of alchemy, Firis decides to learn from them so she can leave the village.

After teaching Firis the basics and doing some odd jobs around the village, Sophie tells her that to be recognized as a licensed alchemist Firis must get three letters of recommendation from other licensed alchemists and go to the city of Risenburg to take an exam. Firis sees this as an opportunity to finally fulfill her dream of journeying the outside world, meet new people and become a fully licensed alchemist. Her parents eventually agree but on two condition, her sister must go with her and she [[TimedMission must pass the exam within a year]]. Firis promptly packs her bags and sets off on her [[TitleDrop mysterious journey]] with her sister Lianne in tow.

* BiggerOnTheInside: Sophie's portable atelier that she gives to Firis as a parting gift. She apparently made it by [[ItMakesSenseInContext "bending space using alchemy."]] The quest to craft the atelier tent was later made into a DLC for ''VideoGame/AtelierSophieTheAlchemistOfTheMysteriousBook''.

* TheGift: Firis is able to detect where there are deposites of metal ore, similar to how Sophie eventually gained the ability to hear the wishes of materials or how Oskar can communicate with plants. She uses this skill to act as a sort of spotter for the Ertona's miners. She's also a much more naturally talented alchemist than Sophie, who was an IneptMage before Plachta started teaching her. [[spoiler: Firis can, in fact, defeat Sophie at the license exam.]]

* MyBelovedSmother: Firis's mother is very opposed to letting her leave because the world is apparently full of monsters, despite her older daughter going out on hunting trips for several days at a time and still coming back unharmed. She relents after she sees Firis has learned enough alchemy to be able to protect herself. [[spoiler:And when you learn about Liane's true origins, you understand ''why'' Firis' mother is so worried about her daughter's ability to survive outside.]]
* MythologyGag: Logy keeps a bust of [[VideoGame/AtelierRorona Hagel]] in his workshop. In addition, busts of Hagel show up throughout the game as collectibles and obstacles.

* PaletteSwap: Sophie's design is almost exactly the same, but with different colors and a few minor changes to her dress.
* PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo: Sophie.

* ShipTease: [[spoiler: Between Firis and Heinz.]]

* TimedMission: After leaving Ertona you literally have 365 in-game days to get the three letters and take the exam. That's plenty of time to do side-quests and synthesize a lot of items as well.
