Weirdly, I don't think I enjoyed it as much as Marie and Elie.
Maybe because I was tired of the formula, as it's fundamentally the exact same game all 3 times. I was hoping for a bigger change for a new console.
I also really dislike the blend and rough alchemy systems - there's a lot of trial and error unless you look up exactly how to make a certain item.
Like Marie and Elie, some events are extremely missable unless you're lucky or know what you're doing, so I ended up not seeing most things.
What I do like about the game is, as always, the overall simplicity and casual air it has. The music is fun too, the characters are endearing enough, and the art is great.

I wouldn't recommend this to someone unless they're a die-hard Atelier fan like me, or you want to "experience history".
I'm looking forward to trying Judie next, whenever that will be, and hopefully they made some changes.
