Great visuals runs solid on the switch only played in handheld Easier than the other Atelier games in the past but still enjoyable. A solid new entry for people that want to jump in an Atelier game. Less frustrating time management system gives newcomers the change to explore, experiment new crafting techniques. A more intense turn-based combat system that will keep you on your toes vast areas to explore, collecting items for crafting is even easier than before giving you a chance to craft items without looking for a specific item. I would give it a higher score if the game was a little more difficult. I finished it much quicker than any of the other games in this series. Looking forward to a sequel since most of the Atelier games are Trilogy.

I bought this for my wife as a Christmas present, as she owns all of the Atelier games on various consoles. She was really looking forward to this game, and she was very excited to receive it. From what she has told me so far - the updated crafting systems, new real time battle systems, graphics and story have exceeded her expectations. In her words, this is easily one of the best, if not THE best Atelier game.

Easily one of the best JRPGs I've ever played and definitely the best in the Atelier series. Battle and alchemy systems are fun, addictive and rewarding. Visuals are excellent. ; )

Ryza has a great storyline and likeable characters. I like the new alchemy method and the combat. The graphics are a good upgrade from previous entries as well. Overall, a great game. I only wish they would dub it.

It's been several years since I last played an Atelier games, but after seeing previews of this new title and how gorgeous it looked compared to previous entries, I just had to get it. Most notable change for me was that there is no longer a time limit, which turns this game into a very relaxing adventure where you can take your time to fully explore and take in the game's world and mechanics. If you're into JRPGs and are looking for something a little different than the usual fare of saving the world then definitely check this one out.
