Plain old iyashikei.
My entry to Atelier — there's a few annoyances like missable achievements and really cryptic instructions for recipes, what conditions you need to complete specific events and quests, etc etc. But honestly, I don't know if that's just a grievance against RPGs as a whole. Overall, the pattern of making items and staying small scale actually made it more memorable than most RPGs are to me.
I like this small German-ish village aesthetic where everyone is vaguely Christian. Like all iyashikei I feel like I will just come back to the series when I need to remember the fundamental gifts of life.
