Great for both new and old fans
Atelier Sophie has been an amazing so far. It builds off a lot Atelier Ryza 2, even a little bonus DLC from that game in the playstation store. Sophie provides a more rpg turn-base approach as opposed to Ryze 2, but it still provides unique action scenes in battle and the story seems interesting enough. Definitely a good game to pick if you are a fan of the Atelier series and a bit easier game to pick up than some of the Atelier games for new comers.

Great gameplay, okay story
I have played all of the modern Atelier games before this so was always going to buy it. The graphics are the best we have seen in an Atelier game, and I think the alchemy system is one of the best if not these best - sometimes I spend way too long creating items with the puzzles to get them just right. The combat is turn based and I like how each character is unique and poses their owns strengths and weaknesses, can only use certain item types, etc. So the combat portion is strategic and enjoyable but not the best I've seen. This is also a good starting point, playing the first Sophie game beforehand is really not required, as the story and really all other characters are stand-alone. The story and characters are probably below average but it was the gameplay that kept me coming back.

Great Sequel for Atelier Sophie
Enjoy playing the Atelier series in general and came across the first game a few months back. When I heard they'd be a sequel I had to try myself. A great game overall and hoping they make a third like they're doing Atelier Ryza, also a series favorite.
