I had a blast playing this game, it was cute and fun. I love how NIS America is picking up and publishing all the good jRPGs.
Let me start off by saying this game is sorta girly based on the fact that the main character is a chick >.<. It’s quite fun actually, with tons of endings. The game starts off a little slow, but as you play, you wish that it would remain slow due to the fact that there’s so many things to accomplish in 1 playthrough. It’s like rune factory, but you do alchemy instead of farm and find a mate. I’ve only played through it once, but will go for more after i finish all my other JRPGS.”A TRUE ALCHEMIST MAKES NO MISTAKES”
It’s diffident from most RPGs, but Great in it’s own way. Not for everybody, I recommend you watch some videos of the game on YouTube before buying it to be sure if like it.
Excellent
This game made several changes that I’m not sure I like to the Atelier series yet it was still fun to play none the less.Positive Changes -Honestly I was little nervous when I heard they had moved to 3D instead of using the 2D graphics. However, In the end I found that it was mostly a positive change. They still used the cartoon pictures for conversations just as in the Mana and Iris series before them. The dungeons featured nice texturing with what I’ve come to call ‘3D Cartooning’. The job system changed a bit as well. In this game there was something of a friendship building experience with other NPC’s based on the number of jobs you completed. Of course it is far from the system found in Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and other large world RPG’s out there.0The next PRO is arguable. Atelier Rorona’s Alchemy system removes the need for synthesizing the same object with a different name. We all remember Blue Steel, Red Steel, Black Steel, Ignots or whatever they are called from the previous entries. Now when an Ingot is formed with different types of metals, it gains a new ‘Trait’. The trait is what changes what can be made from the Ignot rather than a different synth item all together. This makes the game easier to play in my opinion and helps new comers adjust to a less complex system a bit easier.The Negatives.Sadly, the Atelier series lost a step in combat. Its not nearly as visually impressive as its 2D predecessors. In Mana Khiema – Alchemists of Al Revis, I feel the game re.
As a huge JRPG fan, I’ve played a large amount of the JRPGs of this current gaming generation. However, they all seemed to revolve around the premise of saving the world/universe, and eventually I grew bored in the genre. However, Atelier Rorona single-handedly revived my interest in the JRPG genre and has made me very excited for Gust’s upcoming game to hit the States, Ar Tonelico Qoga, and has made me hopeful that Rorona sells well enough so that the sequel, Atelier Totori, makes it to the States.Atelier Rorona is not your typical cliché-filled save the world RPG. Instead, it’s a simple game that revolves around an incredibly deep item creation/alchemy system, interaction with the game’s colorful characters, and exploring the world while doing quests for the people and your friends. The game’s time mechanic makes for very fast-paced and fun, frenetic gameplay, which I’ve gotten very addicted to. However, if you are looking for a JRPG with a deep combat system, then I would not recommend Atelier Rorona. The game is focused on alchemy, like I said earlier, so the combat system is pretty much your standard turn-based system found in every JRPG. Don’t let this deter you from a fantastic game though.Atelier Rorona also marks the first 3D Atelier game that Gust has made. The cel-shading is very well-done in Rorona, especially the character models. Environments, however, look a little bit bland and blurry sometimes, but you won’t notice it too much as you’ll be spending a lot of t.
So I love the Atelier series. I bought Totori first and played though most of it then found the 1st and 2nd on here and bought them and am working on going through them. If you are thinking about buying you should you won’t be disappointed!
I love the Atelier series. I’ve been a fan since Atelier Iris. There’s not much I can say that hasn’t been said already. This game would be almost perfect for casual gaming if it didn’t have the pesky time limits. They did get rid of this in Atelier Ayesha (HIGHLY recommend).The story is very light and feel-good. Everyone’s story will differ because which cut scenes (except for major ones) you experience depend on when and where you are. You could play this game a great number of times and never experience the exact same story arc. This series has perfected the relaxed, low-key RPG that no one else really makes an attempt at. There is no saving the world. The protagonist never becomes a grand hero. You’re just Rorona, trying to complete jobs to keep your workshop open. Sure, other events happen (trying to keep this spoiler free). The game never got stale for me. However, if you’re the type that needs intense action or tear-jerking drama, this may not be the choice for you.The characters are very memorable to me and each is unique.The graphics are quite stunning, and at times it feels like you’re walking through a watercolor painting. Each point on the map is unique and equally beautiful. Although in the Arland trilogy they have placed a HEAVY focus on the alchemy aspect, you still get to explore many, many locations.Gameplay is very simple and easy to learn. Even if you’ve never played an Atelier game in the past, this would be a good starting point. The battle system is simp.
I was worried about the game when I purchased it, but as soon as I started playing I couldn’t put it down. The games characters are fun and the gameplay was so varied that I never felt I was doing something so tedious. Truly a fun game for a JRPG gamer.
I realize this game is not meant for everyone, I have read various complaints that people have all over the internet about it. Yes Alchemy is the biggest part of the game. Yes the fighting is simplistic compared to some RPGs. Yes there are no MP at all, you must use health to use special moves. (This point was the hardest for me to get used to, but once I leveled up some I found I was able to sacrifice the HP for a few specials. ) Yes it may seem repetitious but honestly it is really a lot of fun. No you can’t level up to your hearts content as much with other RPG’s, but I have been able to level up much better with second and third playthoughs just because I knew what I could sacrifice.You play as Rorona a cute and slightly airheaded apprentice alchemist who must save her shop from closing. You must complete assignments given every three months over a three year period. If you don’t it is game over. If you can, you get one of four main story endings. If you gain friendship points with other character you can get character ending as well.Everything takes time in Rorona from gathering ingredients, to fighting and to creating items with alchemy. This may seem like a hinderance at first, but one just needs to think a little strategically andIf it is not for you fine I can understand, but there are people out there who like it and enjoy the gameplay and story. Rent it and give it a shot, you can beat it in a weekend and see if you like it.That was a review I wrote on gamspot over.
