It's a pretty good Atelier game, and this DX edition is just great. My only complaint about this entry is that it feels like the alchemy system takes a bit of a long while to really open up, I wish you'd get property passing a lot earlier.

I've been torn about trying the mainline Atelier series. I've played some of the spin-off games before, but the mainline games have always had me wavering from a distance and not pulling the trigger on investing into one. On the one hand, I really like the idea of an alchemy RPG, I am always here for dense and overcomplicated crafting systems in games. On the other hand, I just feel so strongly that these games are made and marketed for a specific kind of person and I am definitely not that person. And my experience now having played one for 40+ hours is that that impression I had was mostly correct. I went through this game pretty much without any attachment to the characters, the setting, the dialogue, the plot, pretty much everything. It was all pretty dumb and in the postgame I decided to just sleep through months of time to get to the ending rather than do a bunch of quests for characters I didn't care about. I was drawn to this entry because of the dying earth setting and the supposedly higher stakes story, and that was probably a mistake because the saccharine tone and the hollow slice-of-life episodes where a bunch of women written by men who have never spoken to a woman repeatedly have boring conversations about sweets would at least not be so jarring if they weren't in a world that is currently falling apart under some form of magic climate crisis. But you know what? The other half of my impressions was right too. In terms of gameplay, I really enjoyed the loop of crafting and exploring, figuring out the fine points of both, and even the management aspects of the game. I decided to play on hard difficulty hoping for some challenge. The combat proved not up to snuff in that regard until the endgame, but in the middle of the game I felt genuinely pressured by the deadline and the money pressures that dictated whether or not I could afford bombs to fight with. I still managed to kill the final boss with a year to spare, but I was surprised the game could create that feeling of friction with its systems when it shied so far away with it with its story. I feel the combat system is sort of sloppy and they could have refined into something much more, it has some good ideas. The synthesizing though is very absorbing and seeing your weird creations come to life is rewarding. I love the bomb that keeps dropping garbage on your enemies, I attached a quality to it that debuffs every stat and seeing those debuffs popups as I wasted the endgame bosses was great. So my final impression is that both this game and probably this series is okay. I'm not racing out to try the next one, but I'm also not sworn against the series forever. A chill and light RPG experience. It was fun.

I have enjoyed several different Atelier games in this series and I enjoyed this one the most. You play as a young woman who is on a journey to save her younger sister who she assumed to be dead and you will be meeting many different characters that will help you to reach that goal. The crafting which is the selling point of the game is very fun and you will probably sending the most time trying to make the best equipment and items. There is a three year time limit in the game but its pretty lenient and even if you fail on your first playthrough you won't have much trouble in your second run. The music in this game is amazing and still won;t leave my head even after 100% the game. The one huge problem in this game is the crashing, perhaps its my computer but sometimes during loading screens the game will crash so make sure to save often. Overall of the 6 different Atelier games I have played in my lifetime I played and enjoyed this one the most, if its one a sale I would very much recommend it to anyone who likes crafting mechanics and a cozy jrpg that isn't that serious.

Solid entry that marks a bit of a different approach than the Arland series. Only real complaint for me is the fact that you cannot craft, or even buy your weapons, as they are ALL monster drops. Story is good. Barrel.

Atelier Ayesha - 7.5 - Really fun! I really enjoyed the cast this time around again, with Regina being a favorite, but also enjoyed Wilbell, Linca, and Juris quite a bit. The battle system adding positioning on the battlefield made battles more interesting. Special attacks were fun to do. And I really liked the idea of giving us some direction on what to do next with ! points throughout the world map to help lead you. I will say the time constraint made me panic a few times. I barely made it through the main storyline to save my sister, and felt like that part was pretty unclear. I also felt the difficulty spikes sometimes came out of NOWHERE. And was not a fan of how you upgrade your weapons/armor. That aside this is one of the stronger titles in the series for me. Now playing 6 titles I can safetly put this one as probably my second favorite behind Meruru. Excited to dive deeper into the dusk arc but probably jumping into Yumia next at the end of this month!
