So good!

Atelier is a very cute game. Gathering and making new items is fun. Overall the gameplay is good including battle. Its good that the game has Dual Audio (ENG/JP) with english subtitles. I really enjoyed the game.

I loved Atelier Rorona. It was fun and extremely innovative, but weak graphically speaking. Thus I was looking forward for Atelier Totori with much excitment. When I saw the dreadful marks it received from French websites, I was furious (I crossed the line and got banned by the way).

Developed by Japanese studio Gust, best know for its dedication to the JRPG genre, Atelier Totori: Adventurer of Arland is a direct sequel to last year's Atelier Rorona and is the second instalment in The Alchemist of Arland series.

Accessible; and unlike most RPGs; ideal for short bursts of gameplay; Item synthesis compliments the core gameplay; offering plenty of depth; Unconventional design; opting for free-flow player progression; Doesn't require experience with prior Atelier titles; Soothing soundtrack and some decent...

First few hours can be tedious; Lack of strong narrative; Combat system will prove tiresome to begin with; The in-game calendar can sometimes feel intrusive on player freedom; Visuals are standard for modern JRPGs; sub-par compared to other genres

Gust has been developing Atelier titles since the early days of the PlayStation. It wasn't until the PlayStation 2 era that we English-speaking gamers could finally get a chance to play the series.

The first time I played through it, it was really good, but it get too repetive too fast and when I played through it for the second time, it got too boring.

Atelier Totori is the latest game in Gust's Atelier series of games to be released in english and the sequel to last years Atelier Rorona. The game take place after the first game in the series and features Totori, a student of Rorona's as the main character.

Decent gameplay; good replayability

The time limit is weird and puts no real pressure on the player

A great game. It is not an epic story like in a Final Fantasy game, but is still interesting and more funny-like. It is not a linear rpg, many roads and ends are possible. Those who like to have the best weapon and armor and items will definitively love this game as the system to create items and...

While slow paced, the game details are amazing. There are just so much to do. If you are a fan of the Atelier series, play it. If you are not, give it a shot!

As much as I loved Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland , it had some serious flaws. Gathering locations were linear, forging weapons and armor was infuriating, it looked like a PS2 game, the battles weren't well thought out and deadlines seemed to be constantly popping up.

You get more time to play (five years versus three in

Some of the voice acting may scar your ears (Peter); difficulty level for battles jumps after you reach Arland and after you build the boat; can be quite difficult to earn money and only equipped items and money carries over for New Game+.
