Until Atelier Rorona, this was my all-time favorite Atelier game! It has a bit of the traditional turn-based combat system, with a huge emphasis on alchemy. You also have relationships that you can build with the different shopkeepers that allow you to get different recipes. On top of the relationships you can build with your various team members, and there's quite a cast in this game! I think one of the most interesting things about this game had to be the material extracting system. You hit stuff with your staff. Now, it sounds tedius/annoying, but it actually turned out to be quite enjoyable and kept the game from getting stale. I really suggest everyone give this one a try, and see the first Atelier Iris game and what made the Atelier Iris series so fun!
