Keeping with the series' theme of choice, players will be able to forge ahead with the option of two playable characters with individual skills, storyline, and adventure. As well, the game's universe has been expanded substantially; fields are much larger, and budding alchemists will have their work cut out for them as the amount of items and raw materials have grown proportionally as well.

A new goal management system known as the “Life Task System” streamlines the abundance of tasks for easy reference; depending on how players approach their game though, certain changes will effect their adventure. To tailor to individual play styles, if players are more battle orientated, game progression is altered to reflect this with more battle related tasks. The fields, monsters, and items will dynamically adjust itself as well! These life tasks are a requirement, and failure to accomplish tasks results in a penalty; what results is a supreme role playing experience. This coupled with the multiple endings that the Alchemist series is famous for awaits those in Atelier Shallie: Alchemist of the Dusk Sea!
