Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The main story is divided into 2 segments, the first segment has a clear goal with a time limit, but don't fret as it is quite lenient.

Happy atmosphere & relaxing gameplay - the defining aspects of the Atelier Series IMO.

Graphics are pretty but technically very poor.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
As always recommend using a gamepad, just makes life easier. 4k supported via the launcher, well over 60fps on a gtx970 and 3770k.
