Again, Story is the main focus of RPG's.Dedicated to GamerPoets for the best tutorials and immersive roleplay videos around. Gust has lost the meaning of the Atelier games, much like squeenix has lost the meaning of FF games. For the above mentioned points, this game doesn't deserve to be played at all. As in this game, gathering, performing alchemy, fighting enemies, moving in the world map, etc, consumes days. If you want a two sides story in a game, Mana Khemia 2 The Fall of Alchemy is thousands of times better than this crap. Overall: It's another game of Time and Resource management. If you want to know what happens in this boring game, you may wait for the anime. But, some characters are simply uninteresting or bland.They try to put variety in them, but, end up bad as they seem too typical and I figured them out too fast. Sound & Voices: Preferring the japanese audio helps a bit. For an RPG having a boring and bland story is unforgivable, as it should be the main selling point. You only see what they think of certain situations, but, story unfolds the same for them. Whether you chose Escha or Logy, story is the same boring stuff. After spending more than 12 hours of gameplay, it is safe to state that the "two stories" thing, is a lie. Story: This is the main point of a RPG, therefore, the score is affected the most by this. This time, providing enough points as to why this game sucks and no one should buy it. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. These are just minor stuff though, so ye. Only reason I put it as 9 instead of 10 is that the music could be more diverse as for battle themes, and even though the graphics are good it is not Skyrim or Final Fantasy. The closest I can think of is the Witcher series, but even them should take a few notes from this series as for how it should be done. I can not remembering enjoying crafting at such a level before. The combat is entertaining and constantly evolving, adding new characters in a good paste and the crafting. Ok, maybe this game in particular is way better than the older ones, but as a newcomer to the series I had nothing to compare it to and tbh not much to complain about. I remember seeing reviews of these games series down at 5/10 and 6/10, calling it niches and what not. I must say I was shocked over how well this game actually seems to turn out. I must say I was shocked over how well This was/is my first Atelier game, and I started off on Logy's storyline and didn't really expect much.
