Here’s the official description for Atelier Firis: The Alchemist and the Mysterious Journey DX:
“Atelier Firis: The Alchemist and the Mysterious Journey DX is the second entry in the ‘Mysterious’ saga, following the adventures of the enthusiastic Firis Mistlud and her loving older sister Liane Mistlud. The sisters have lived their entire lives in the isolated town of Ertona, where Firis uses her unique ability to see where material crystals are buried. By way of a fateful encounter, Firis learns of the Alchemy Exam and decides to take her first step into the outside world, setting off on a grand journey to become a certified alchemist and discover the mysteries that life has to offer!”
Meanwhile, Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings DX will introduce “a new painting that connects Lydie and Suelle to the world of Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists [a spin-off series based in the Atelier universe],” as “in order to help Lady Nelke develop the city, the twins will have to embark on new missions and fight against perilous new enemies!”
Here’s the official description for Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings DX:

The young twins work alongside their father at the family atelier, but due to his inexperience in alchemy, they rarely see any customers. While working hard to hone their skills, the duo uncovers a mysterious looking painting, and as they reach out to investigate, the girls are drawn inside a world bountiful with rare materials perfect for alchemy! This fateful discovery is just the beginning of the twin’s adventure, leading them to their joint goal — to run the best atelier in the country!”
