The weakest game in the Arland series, but that is not a mark against the game itself. It is a good JRPG with a robust combat system, large variety of dungeons, interesting story that does not excels and a robust crafting system. But for fans of past game, do not expect to find similar gameplay style here. The time management is now out the window, travelling cost time on the calendar, but the years passing does not matter. The recipe unlocking mechanism is also more skin to the mysterious series than the Arlands. But at least the characters and events are fun.

Fun gameplay and alchemy system so far. My only gripe is Koei locked Totori and Meruru behind season passes.

Atelier Lulua is one of the best Ateliers I've played so far, if not perhaps the best part of the entire series. And with no time limit or pressure whatsoever, it's also one of the most relaxed parts of the series. Nevertheless, you shouldn't start with the title as a complete newcomer, as Atelier Lulua is primarily aimed at players who already know and love the Arland series: Over 20 years have passed since the events of Atelier Rorona (10 in real life) until we slip into the shoes of Rorona's daughter Lulua and the story what happend during that time wants to be told here too - accordingly, it is teeming with allusions and old familiar faces that have matured over the years, but are especially appreciated by those who experienced their origins themselves. The map is also full of nostalgia, as it covers virtually all areas of the first three Arland titles and combines them into a large, graphically significantly revised world that has changed noticeably over the years. And yet, when you finally arrive in the capital city of Arland after the first few hours of play and walk along "Artisan's Way" to Rorona's old shop... you will feel like you're truely coming home. In terms of Gameplay, the game doesn't set any new standards, but that's okay. This time you lead a party of 5 in the JRPG turn-based combat mode, with 3 frontline fighters and two replacements who can be swapped in or have their support skills triggered. The alchemists can also be assigned interruption items, which they can use at any time when their bar is full to push through additional damage or save someone from being KO'd just in time. Ultimate attacks can also be unlocked from a certain level or under certain conditions, which can turn the course of the battle in our favor with screen-filling effects. Something that is particularly very welcomed when you meet the enemies and bosses in the later sections of the adventure. Crafting is fun as well and is one of the best systems in the series. It's easy to understand and gives you a lot of control over the end product, especially later on with the boost items. A grid model like in Mysterious has been dispensed with, but there are element bars to fill again which now can also form opposing pairs with elements lying on the other axis and thus, for example, negating progress already made on the fire bar when you add earth points. I also don't find the slice of life skits as overloaded this time as in the Mysterious games, for example Lydie & Suelle, where you are constantly interrupted by scenes during work. Nevertheless, there's nothing lacking here and the humour is great as usual - the old cast hasn't lost any of its likeability over the years and the new characters fit in without any problems. The curry lover Lulua in particular really takes after her mother, and not just when it comes to her passion for food. If I have anything to criticise at all, it's that one of the story-relevant NPCs is somewhat neglected during those skits and was somewhat lost in the mass of young and old characters - and when the emotional connection that Lulua ultimately shows at some story-relevant points came up, it didn't really affected me personally as probably desired, because as a player I didn't really have that much to do with the character. But that's complaining on a high level. 40 hours later after a certain book fell on Lulua's head, I'm now watching the various endings I've unlocked and am generally very happy with the purchase. I still have a bit of endgame ahead of me, a few secret pages in the Alchemyriddle still need to be deciphered and the True Ending might still be reached. But I can definitely recommend buying it: Anyone who knows and loves Atelier - especially the Arland cast, of course - will definitely not be disappointed by this game.
