I love the game!
I just want to say that I rate this game a 10 out of 10 so far I am truly enjoying it. I love it and I hope that this game continue on for a long time.!
Anime Jiggle Simulator
First the pros: the graphics are outstanding, with excellent anime-style character designs that evoke the best of the series. The sound, music, and special effects are equally outstanding.
The cons: there is some serious misogynistic use of these gorgeously animated characters. Sure, the series and many JPG games are not known for fully clothing their characters, but here it is the intentional use of titillating camera angles and body physics that is just wrong.
Every female character who is not petite in their physical endowment has their chest jiggle extensively every time they move. I’m talking about gravity defying, what the heck are they wearing under that shirt, over the top jiggles. It seems the characters move in certain ways just to be able to show this off (as the camera always seems to be centered on it).
Worse, the camera likes to circle in the most blatant areas to overly sexualize the outfits. One early scene with Ryza (who yes we know her shorts are indeed quite short), the camera actually goes far lower to the ground than is needed when she bends over to be able to show her underwear underneath. Completely unnecessary and cheapens a beloved character from the series.
The combat is a bit “meh” with the focus on stuns and timing access to bursts, but does reward planning and seems more effective played manual than using auto.
Gatcha is gatcha; too early to say how fair this is as only some beginning pulls so far.

No English
I used to love Atelier games and bought every one. Then Gust stopped doing English dubbing and the games became super annoying. Sad to see this game is following suit.
Absurd Pricing
$600 to guarantee the character you want from the gacha once and $40 for a 10 pull… a video game with hours of content is $60-$70. Shame the game is fun and looks great. Even has physics which is a plus. They don’t even have a value option like daily gems for $5/month. Feels like a cash grab for Atelier fans.

Fake rates
Rates are not as advertised (fraud; Nexon)
SSR memoria absolutely have a much higher chance of being pulled and taking all of your SSR weight on pulls. You will be stuck pulling only memoria after you have gotten a few SSR characters, I guarantee it.
Don’t get this if you’re only F2P, as whales are the only ones benefitting from the design of this game atm.

Vayne and lodestar cost
They did my boy Vayne dirty. Being a protagonist with a terrible kit.
And holy * $40 for a ten pull. I know the game was put a lot of effort on the art but thats just straight robbery and ridiculous.
Other than that the game is fun. This game is just for whales. Not even dolphins are welcome.

Hard to progess the game unless you pay
Atelier Iris 1 has always been my favorite. Then, came Mana Khemia 1, which also has been my favorite game all time. But hence, all the rest of the Atelier series.. has been, like this game.. Disappointing.. How it has gone down hill since then. I don't know why they're targeting male players even though the genre is for female. At the very least, it should be enjoyed by all genders. Syntesising items, learning new recipes, mana pacts, has always been this game strong point. But they had to package them in such an unattractive form in this game. The synthesis process doesn't really make sense. You have to gacha more characters to make your item decent. If you don't have the color that the game requires you too, then you won't get the item that you want.
The gacha system are really something else. No pity, no whatsoever. If you got crappy luck then that's just it.
In this game, you can't even stroll the town or the field as you want like the other Atelier series here. It's just flat out boring. This might be the first game that I don't even want to spend my 3 bucks on for the first purchase reward. The visuals are nice but.. Good luck just depending on that..

Very beautiful game 💙
Great graphics and cinematics, wonderful gameplay, and combat is similar to star rail! Give it a try!
Awful Gatcha Rates - Stay Away!
I love Koei Tecmo, and I love Atelier, but wow these gatcha rates are abysmal. I’ve been re-rolling for 2 days straight and the pulls have been miserable.
How can we be expected to spend money on a virtual currency that will in all likelihood result in getting nothing of value?
This is predatory, and frankly an insult to the talented artists, animators, and other designers who did an incredible job making this game look nice.
I don’t understand the point of making the gatcha rates so low— do you want us to spend more? Then INCENTIVIZE us to spend, don’t DE-INCENTIVIZE us!
