Atelier Sophie the alchemist of the mysterious book including DLC on the PS4. The DLC seems to be a background theme, a costume and some ingame items.
Set against a vibrant background reminiscent of a medieval European town the Atelier series' 17th instalment follows the exploits of a young novice Alchemist who discovers she is the owner of an enigmatic volume imbued with a soul. This Mysterious Book seems to hold all the secrets to Alchemy knowledge and it goes on to become Sophie's mentor. Sophie's improving alchemy skills start bringing back forgotten memories and uncover the strange tale of the book's origin.

I've ordered a copy. Was on the fence but for this price I am happy to have a punt.
Does seem like most JRPGs aren't holding their price and reviews are giving them a bit of a kicking.
Oh wow! This looks pretty great :smiley: Geez what is it with PS4 and the non stop barrage of solid RPGs (Tales, Dragon Quest, etc) Hopefully PS Online 2 gets a UK release soon..after 4 years lol

Just be warned that Atelier games are very different from regular RPGs.
You'll be spending lots of time in menus trying to craft 'perfect' items and the story is very light, with the focus being on character interactions more than a complex plot. The earlier games had a fixed time limit of 3-5 years (depending on the game) but as the series has gone on, the time limit has become less and less of an issue and is being phased out
If you like this, be sure to play through the Arland trilogy on the Vita (prefer this series on the Vita as it's format is perfect for a portable).
