Atelier Firis: The Alchemist and the Mysterious Journey

Firis Mistlud is a young girl living in a secluded mine town who dreams of exploring the world outside. One day, Firis becomes friends with Sophie and Plachta, the main characters of the previous game, who teach her the basics of alchemy. After proving her talent for alchemy, Firis is allowed to leave the village, but under the condition that she must pass the alchemist certification exam in one year, or she will be forced to return home. Thus begins Firis' journey to become a full fledged alchemist, and earn the right to keep exploring the world indefinitely.
