The recurring themes across 143 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Beautiful Story, One of the Best Atelier Games
Combat is very fun and greatly improved over Ayesha.
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.
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.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
