What players think
The recurring themes across 145 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Story is very interesting and more than just a slice of life that the Atelier series is known for.
The crafting is significantly less complex than in its modern counterparts Lulua and Ryza, but is still fun in its own right and plays an important role in how each game develops, both gameplay-wise and story-wise.
It's one of the best games in the series with great story, great characters, big improvements in combat, graphics and alchemy over it's predecessors and it's also the last game to have a time limit, although very relaxed.
Soundtrack is beautiful and the game makes good use of the voiced tracks during important scenes giving a much more emotional impact.
Graphics are also greatly improved over Ayesha and looks beautiful, anti-aliasing is much better and textures are higher resolution.
