And once again you make weapons with a Smith, it's a great thing, never liked when they made you make weapons with alchemy.

10 of 100 sampled reviews raised it
The strength of Atelier has always been in the music, art style, character events, multiple endings, and the core alchemy system.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 100 sampled reviews raised it
The combat OST is phenomenal and most of the tracks are very memorable, and this game's not as big of an offender as Firis, but I strongly dislike hearing the same tracks during several different fights.
