I got the game because of the anime but the first 15+ minute of the game is back to back cut scenes and then walking to the next cut scene. Note, I also skipped the cut scenes, and still 15+ minutes and never saw any game play besides walking and a tutorial for camera mode.

Also the animation, like the characters walking, looks like it is from before the 2000s. The first assassin's creed game made in 2007 has better graphics and animation. This game was made in 2019.

Really tried to like this game for a few hours. Incredibly boring!

Essentially a toned down and awkwardly designed rpg with nothing interesting; no real story, no interesting characters, goofy combat system, awkward alchemy system. This game features a bratty girl whose incredibly irresponsible. But she has some likeable features I guess?

Games like this are the reason I've started playing games same day I've bought then.

P.S. PLEASE test this game on a TV, e.g. with a ROG Ally. Handful of graphical bugs and controller unfriendly issues to fix.

Are the positive reviews fake??

Not the main selling point. Somewhat short.

Simple and not very engaging. Also not the main selling point.

Cute, likeable design. Some animations like walking in cut scenes a bit weird.

Vibrant and bright colors. Pretty colorful.

Flashy battle animations.

---

Fun turn-based RPG mixed with some real time elements. Difficulty is just right.

Main selling point. Spent the most time here. In depth crafting system.
Traits seem to not have a big effect anymore compared to older Atelier games. Quality is important now. At least for the standard difficulty.
Unnecessary tedious to improve a synthesized item.

Quite pleased. Didn't expect that coming from other Atelier games prior to this one.

Good. Somewhat lacking during battle.

---

Configurations of some things like graphics outside of the game. Don't like it.
Camera / Angle seem to focus on the lower body part of the main protagonist to an extent.

Beat the story and the post game boss. Did most of the quests and other things that the game had to offer. I had my fun.
