I like the series, but I don't like them 60€'ish. Good that I still have a stash of PS3 titles to play.

It's released.
And if you pre-purchased, you'd want to refund it: http://steamcommunity.com/games/527290/announcements/detail/539708459774297322

Nah. Atelier (and other budget jRPGs) games are always sold at a cheaper price than usual console releases. And they go down in value super fast too. This is something entirely different and sinister.

These were also quite cheap to make. I still have them on my hacked PS3.

Do you imagine them smelling worse or better than people who play your games?

Time limit is back, world is much bigger and good part of it open right from the start after proloque, reworked alchemy - now you train not only alchemy level but proficiency in production of certain items too, which open traits transfer, better quality etc. No more 1hko bombs and godly equipment +35 to all stats in the first few hours of the game.

Not a fair comparison, Atelier games exist.

Same.
A much improved experience.
For anyone interested, the gameplay is better than Sophie, the story worse, the alchemy about even (although they bumped up the traits/effects to an impressive number.) With a bunch of added costume play.
Firis is fucking cute.
what are these games like?
They are very weeby of course. I always feel self conscious playing them. Basically they are a mix of typical JRPG a VN and a crafting simulator with emphasis on the latter.

Basically, it's an RPG where instead of all the game design focus going into the combat system, it goes in-depth into complex crafting mechanics instead and the RPG parts (combat/exploration/etc) are there in order to support crafting rather than the other way round.
is it painfully grindy? because everytime i hear crafting in JRPG it means hours and hours of monster farming and painful, almost physically painful drop rate.

It's more about ninja runs. At least on very hard to kill most monsters you need somewhat decent equip and for side bosses you need optimized equip. So you travel to more and more dangerous locations and gather resources, avoiding strong monsters. And when you craft your uber equip you will kill them all, because they have seen your weakness.
