But I'm going to come clean and admit that I have never played an Atelier game, not even Mana Khemia 1. I have played several other NIS titles, as well as many of the recent RPGs that Atlus has brought to North America. So with that said, this review is about the newest game in the Atelier series, called Mana Khemia 2: Fall of Alchemy, and it's written from the standpoint of a new fan to the series."
Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky will include a code to download Mana Khemia 2: Fall of Alchemy as a first print bonus.
More than certain that Sony will use their cloud service for BC, so would very much like to see games like this on it as well as the current PSN.
Gust will re-release Mana Khemia 2: Fall of Alchemy as a downloadable PS2 Classic in Japan.

While most JRPG's attempt to make epic stories that have you saving the world and learning important life lessons along the way Gust is much happier making cute silly little stories with just a touch of raunchy humor. The first Gust game I reviewed was Ar Tonelico 2, which was a great game except for an unfortunate localization job and extremely dated visuals that brought the title down to being average overall. Has Mana Khemia 2 faired any better?"
