Atelier Karia’s protagonist may become plump; a body shape changing mechanic is likely being implemented

Atelier games have long featured endearing female protagonists with massive fan bases. Ryza was a cheerful, impulsive young adventurer with a childlike innocence. Yumia in Atelier Yumia was a stark contrast, more emotionally reserved and diligent in her alchemical approach.

​With Atelier Karia, Gust takes a step forward, introducing an amnesic, ever-hungry protagonist who can eat anything from alchemical items to weapons and bombs. If that wasn’t enough, a recent survey suggests Gust might be preparing to add a body shape changing mechanic that makes Karia chubbier or her stomach bloated, depending on her diet.
