Any Atelier games without time pressure?

[Oppenheimer]

I love the concept of the Atelier games, but the stress of beating the clock on advancement makes it not enjoyable for me. If all Atelier games in the series have this, any games out there that are similar?

[A-tanatos-Ω]

No, that game is not. Also Lydie&Suelle have very few and very simple time episodes. I don't like time pressure too, so this two games was great for me.

The mysterious trilogy (Sophie, Firis and Lydie & Suelle) does not have a time limit. Well, Firis does kinda have one, but it's very lenient, you won't run out of time unless you are deliberately trying to waste all the time you have, and it's only there for first half of the game, which after that you're free from this whole timer and you can pretty much do as much as you want using as much time as you need.

I guess I don't "mind" a time limit, I just don't want to have a permanent gameover 10 hours in etc.

Hrmm probably a bit late. But then i would also reccomend Atelier Totori, Atelier Meruru, Atelier Ayesha. All of these have time limits but they're in literally just a limit given to finish the main story/goal of the characters instead of the periodic time limits of the others. As in if you havent reached the main goal stated at the start of the story by the end then its a bad ending for you. Otherwise if you managed to reach the goal AND finish all/most sidestories and quests then you get the golden ending or any other combination of special ending instead.

Oh and Atelier Lulua also has no time limit.

Well then play the Ryza trilogy, there’s no time limit or any form of rush at all. I’ve spent hours just wandering around. Never felt pressured. Just the grind and requiring guides online at some point was frustrating.

I am a brand new player to the series and the consensus was to start with Ryza and Sophie. I'm done Ryza 1 and almost done Sophie 1. I am mentioning Sophie because it seems Ryza and Sophie are the best two games to start this series.

The only time pressure on either games is in Sophie during optional repeatable missions, and they are massive 30-60 in game day time windows that you almost cannot fail. Even then there is consequence for either outright failing or never accepting these missions.
