released on Sep 26, 2019

The next game in the Atelier franchise and the start of a new series of games. The collection system has been redesigned, the items found are the same but different tools or actions will be required to find them at collection points. The crafting system has been updated and a new item making system has been added, to be revealed at a later date. The turn-based combat is getting changed in some fashion to make it more tense, also to be revealed later.

I played this because I liked what I saw from the music and aesthetics and wanted a comfy game, and it sure delivered. The environment and accompanying soundtrack are absolutely stunning, and I didn't expect the battle system to be this much fun either. Definitely interested in checking out the rest of the series after this; this was my first Atelier game.

Really enjoyable "nice" game. That's not disparaging, it was nice to play. Good battle system, decent characters, end-of-the-world story but done well, and just an all round fun time. Alchemy system got a bit too layered for me but I was able to progress fine without going too deep. Only got stuck once grinding for a specific item. Looking forward to the second and third games.

This game's both super comfy, and ends up being a pretty decent coming of age story.

I had a great time playing this game. The story is good, combat was fun, great soundtrack. Looking forward to play the sequels and other from the series.

I've seen Edible Arrangements less fruity than the relationship between Ryza and Klaudia

Pretty fun time sink, but unfortunately all of these characters just sort of skip into character development rather than feeling natural
