[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 5751529, member: 4348"] I've never been a big fan of campy Japanese Comedy. The Atelier games aren't as campy as some of the others (such as Cross Edge), but still have that campiness to them. Definately not half as bad as Trinity Universe (which about drove me insane, I don't think they even know the idea of seriousness in that game...and Japanese comedy in that vein is just a bit tooo geeky for me). Atelier is also a different type of RPG...or as I would put it, the Girls RPG. It's not so much about going around getting more powerful, or going and defeating a bad guy, or even going around with combat or growing abilities...it's more about finding the right ingredients to make the next potion soup. If you are into trying to find and collect things to make the next item, it's the perfect game for you. To me it's more about finding things (and not in the explore the map type of way...just simply finding them) and then mixing them with just the right way to make the perfect result. Sort of like cooking with supplies you have to find...but with RPG elements tossed in. If you like cooking, this definately could appeal to you. It also has a lot of Japanese Camp Comedy tossed in, but at least has seriousness enough to not be stupidly ridiculous like Trinity Universe. [/QUOTE]
