    This game is amazing both in soundtrack and story also gameplay too, that be careful what you hate you never knew it could be good if you give it a try it's a realization that I make mistake for blindly disliking this game without logical and reasoning, plus originally wanting nothing to do with this game until I played this game gave it try after beating Sophie and Meruru it was a whileThis game is amazing both in soundtrack and story also gameplay too, that be careful what you hate you never knew it could be good if you give it a try it's a realization that I make mistake for blindly disliking this game without logical and reasoning, plus originally wanting nothing to do with this game until I played this game gave it try after beating Sophie and Meruru it was a while back until Ryza was releasing in a few months ago I was flabbergasted with this game. Anyway, this game combines the new and old in a unique item creating a straightforward way for new players and previous players who played the arland series. The game is about a girl who is the adopted daughter of a famous alchemist their nation who is very well known in the first-three games who wanted to surpass her. She on a journey to solving riddles to help improve her skills as an alchemist along with friends both new characters and old characters if you played the previous arland games on ps3 currently on pc, switch, and ps4. The game removes an infamous feature with the time limit for the new player couldn't have a problem this game, unlike the previous series. The only con I could think this the price of DLC and game could be better as bundle otherwise its great game. The performance of the game runs smoothly on modern-day systems no issues for both intel/amd Nvidia/amd if an FX 8320 in 4Ghz can run this game with gtx 970 but Linux users you guys are out of luck for now with the weird fps. However, the game runs in higher fps and higher resolution like previously atelier games no issues here. Overall, this game is very cute and warmhearted I strongly recommend this game for anyone in cuteness and fun gameplay great soundtrack.… 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.
