The Atelier series of JRPG's is one of the most under appreciated, but is also responsible for some of the prettiest cosplays.
The Mako Reactor says: “Everything you need to know about getting into the Atelier franchise from best place to start to every new release covered on PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC.”
Excellent article! This franchise is amazing I started around the Vita games and have been playing since. But for the newer releases I have lagged behind in purchasing due to my backlog. This great comprehensive article got my bearings straight thanks!
I always hear good stuff about the Atelier series, but with so many games I didn't feel like actually researching. So this article was a good read, and I may buy Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book in the near future.
Atelier Ryaza is looking like it’s going to be the breakout game for the franchise.

With his determination, brilliance, and near-limitless resources, he’ll eventually find a way to conquer any foe. It doesn’t matter if they’re ridiculously overpowered or an omnipotent demigod. If they have a weakness, Batman will find it, and he’ll figure out how to exploit it.
If Batman was a JRPG series, I’m pretty sure he’d be Atelier."
Tecmo Koei has officially announced they will be releasing Atelier Rorona Plus: The Alchemist Of Arland for the Playstation Vita as well as the PS3.
why is it coming to the PS3? haven't all Atelier plus title been Vita only so far.... the exclusivity helped the Vita
I love this series - so different, so much more relaxing than some other JRPG's. It has a great atmosphere all of it's own. And yeah, great cosplays too! ;)
Yeah, it's a shame not many people really play them - I've enjoyed all the ones on PS3 so far, and I like the fact that some of the underlying mechanics are changed a little in each version.
