Game Revolution: "Atelier Rorona Plus: The Alchemist of Arland is available on the PS3 and PS Vita, and is optimized for crossplay between those devices. If you have a Vita, I suggest purchasing it for that platform as the crafting-alchemy gameplay is perfect for bite-sized chunks that don't require a lot of emotional investment, and the visuals will look less sparing on a smaller screen."

FFX is still one of my favourite games of all time... It's a shame more top notch JRPGs don't regularly come out anymore
It sure seems that the Vita has become the Niche gamers place to go. I am kinda sad that my Vita just sits in its case, but alas, there are others who have a lot of reason to play it.
I've played through Persona 4G, Lost Dimension, and Ys: Memories of Celceta and they are all fantastic.
Michibiku's Jenni Lada writes, "JRPGs become more predictable as they age. The mechanics are still sound, the stories still good, and the general concept still appreciated in a world where open-world everything is becoming the norm. Think of it as perpetual familiarity. We now what’s going to happen. Gust’s Atelier chronicles can fall within the bounds of predictable, but the series’ focus on individuals sets it apart."
Siliconera: New Atelier Rorona for Nintendo 3DS is a remake of Gust’s popular PlayStation 3 RPG with a new style. All of the characters from Rorona to guests Totori and Meruru have a cutesy, super deformed style.
