Gust briefly mentions what future Atelier games will strive for

Gust, developer of the Atelier series, has had quite a bit of success with the most recent entry, Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout. Where does the series go from here? While Gust isn't ready to share full details, they did say that feedback from Ryza lets the team know they need to raise the base quality of Atelier games. On top of that, the Atelier Ryza theme of “summer and youth” was received well among players, so future games in the series will have clearly-defined themes.
