do you need to play sophie 1?: NO
.
Atelier Sophie 2 is a fresh take on Sophie's adventure, where she ventures into a new world of dreams, If Ryza took you by your feet for her thighs, sophie's cuteness has been doubled where each time she's not smiling, you will wanna hug her
.
not a fan of turn-based?..dw, the battle system moves fast, like REALLY fast...there isn't a single dull moment even though the core mechanics is turn based itself, it's a huge leap towards something new in the series, where I feel like Koei will slowly bring in action combat to the mix as well
