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).

Does seem like most JRPGs aren't holding their price and reviews are giving them a bit of a kicking.
