I enjoyed atelier annie and both mana khemia games a lot. Hopefully this atelier title and maybe other previously released titles get picked up for localization.

I still like the combat that's there. Sure, the combat systems in most GUST games could probably use some improvements, but at least it gives me something to do between synthesizing items. XD

They should just take the battling out of these games entirely. I have fun in Annie just micro managing.

Awesome.
Here's hoping that NISA picks this up. =3
The Atelier series is by far my favorite and I would love to be able to play this in english.

It would have been nice if they had redone the character art for the game. It really looks outdated, especially in the screen that shows the new girl and has a shot of Judie in the text box.

Looks pretty interesting! I might pick it up. I've only played Atelier Annie, and I really liked the sort of slice of life elements, but I didn't like the actual RPG stuff that much.

That depends on what you're looking for.

Mana Khemia 1 and 2 (AKA Project Atelier 9 and 10. Yes, they are a part of the main series) will probably be the easiest to get into, but are also the furthest derived from the originals. If you want a nice "transition" game, the first Atelier Iris has enough elements of the "traditional" Atelier style but still is enough of a traditional JRPG that it won't alienate you.

That said, a more "traditional" Atelier game is a bit closer to Harvest Moon. You play Atelier for character development and item creation rather than the battle system. if you want to jump right into the more traditional series, Atelier Annie is the only one released so far in North America, but Atelier Rorona is scheduled for sometime in the summer.

My personal favorites are Marie and Viorate/Violet and I haven't tried Judy yet.

Annie was my first and I loved it. Look around the site for a playtest and see what you think. :)
