    This game is basically 80% Yuri 15% crafting and 5% battles.

    Seriously I'm not a fan of Yuri but to each his/her own. The thing is basically most on the game is Lulua just flirting with the girls. Maybe yeah they can call it just being best friends. But I am a guy I guess I just look at it at a different way. Yuri aside let's focus on the story. I gotta be honest with you I never    This game is basically 80% Yuri 15% crafting and 5% battles.

    Yuri aside let's focus on the story. I gotta be honest with you I never played the arland series. this is my first Arland game. But I'm basing my score in comparison with the first atelier game that I ever played. and I can say for sure the story in this one is just not for me. I love the humor when Lulua suddenly appearing and just appearing in the screen. MY Favorite characters are Eva, Aurel and I belive I would like sterk and Rorona too if I play the first of the series. But after playing this game I'm not even motivated too. The ending doesn't even make any sense any more it's like they're not even trying. Just believe in the power of Yur.. Oh I mean friend.. you know what screw it! Just believe in the power of Yuri and anything will be possible!

    Music is as always top notch but atelier Escha and Logy's Music is still unbeatable. But because maybe it's my first atelier game.

    Graphically it is impressive from my previous atelier games. The colorful and presentation it impressive.

    all in all I would recommend this to the people who played the first of the arland series until the third one. It looks like this is a fan service game for you people.

    PS: Lulua made a Philosopher curry. I watched FMA. this gives me a cannibalism vibe. as you know what the contents of the philosopher stone...    … Expand

    This game so far is quite wonderful, the art, music, alchemy systems and combat give quite the experience.

Unfortunately however i am quite disappointed at the lack of an English track for the voices. as someone who always plays the English tack in every version of this generally great series of games i am quite sad especially when older characters in it make an appearance with essentially a different voice than when first experienced. I don't know it kind of kills the vibe a tad for me. In any case the JP voices are not bad and i will most likely finish the game i have to dock a point or two off, and in the future i will only purchase an entry that has the English track as sad as it makes me.… Expand

    How you feel about Atelier Lulua ~The Scion of Arland~ will be largely influenced by which parts of JRPGs you like most. If you are drawn mainly to an engaging story and the interaction between characters, you’ll probably enjoy it. If you’re a fan of lots of combat and fast paced action, it might not be your cup of mana. If, like me, you enjoy tweaking stats and finding the best combinations of items to maximise your characters, then you will love it. I spent more time crafting than anything else and I loved it. It took me back to the days of spending an hour in the menus of Final Fantasy VII, trying to find the perfect materia combinations and for that reason, I loved it.

    Atelier Lulua: The Scion of Arland is the perfect way to conclude this now tetralogy. That said, Gust could surprise us with another game set in the world of Arland. For now, though, Atelier Lulua is a crisp and clean experience with cute visuals and an even cuter cast of characters. While the gameplay is simple, it’s engaging enough to hold your attention and the best part is that you don’t need to have played the previous three games in order to understand this. With the added bonus of the simplified alchemy procedure, it’s an overall great title to pick up if you’ve been curious about the series.
