an amazing, faithful remake of the first atelier game! i honestly had a lot more fun than i expected with this one; it's so addicting and going through all of the events and learning more about each character is pleasant.
EDIT: just got 100% this afternoon.. a little sad that it's over but also really happy i got through it! i had about 38 hours of in game time, but i think that's because i was really going at my own pace lol.. either way, it was a really enjoyable experience (aside from max all friendship grinding, but that's a given).
all the characters are very sweet and despite the gameplay being simple, it's simple in a way that is addicting and has a lot of charm to it. sometimes simple is best! and i think atelier marie manages to do it just right.
if you are going for 100% after your initial run, i recommend starting normal NG+ and speedrunning to the bad ending (no rank 6+ item), then start an unlimited NG+. you are able to get multiple endings that way, as the game lets you view your results on the board at any time after the five years.
i'm really glad that koei tecmo remade this game, because i think they brought it back and made it even better than before. i'm really excited for future remakes!

i'm glad my comment helped you! i think the best way to get enjoyment out of this game is to just take your time with it? five years is more than enough to get the good ending (it's very hard to fail the exam unless you're purposefully wasting time), and i finished with 81% event list completion. i also really took my time with it, so i ended up finishing my first run in 20 hours.. it's a short game and i know a lot of people have beat it in ~10 hours (that's also the length of the original game), so it just depends on how you approach it!
P.S. it should still be on sale for 17% on greenmangaming if you're not comfortable paying full price! i also bought it on sale, and i think it is more worth it that way? mostly because of the length of the game and the simplicity of the crafting and combat (which is fine by itself of course)!
P.S. P.S. rorona is great (i still have to play rorona myself but i love her design)

Thanks for the advice!
You should play Rorona! It is one of my favorite games of all time. I think you will enjoy it.
