    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

    Atelier Lulua is more than a case of ‘Gust has done it again’, although that’s obviously true. It’s a great game with a brilliantly-told story full of great twists. More than that, though, it’s notable because it takes the chance to question an element at the very heart of the genre — why is combat so central to the experience? Is it a necessary part of the story being told, or does it wind up limiting the kind of adventure that developers can to craft? There’s no clear answer here, but the fact that the question is being asked in such an interesting way deserves a huge amount of respect.

    Atelier Lulua will delight old school JRPG and anime fans, with it's paused rhythm and focused on the story. You can get to forgive it's poor graphics in exchange of being one of the most beautiful franchise games.

    Atelier Lulua shows itself as an interesting title which through its story, characters and game mechanics hold the players interest until the end.
