The latest title in the Atelier RPG series by Gust / Koei Tecmo. Direct sequel to Atelier Sophie, also on PS4. I've been enjoying this entry a LOT, it has a lot more exploration and freedom than any previous Ateliers, and the laid-back story and characters are as charming as ever. If you're a sucker for great soundtracks in games, this one is a no-brainer.
Get it if you're looking for something a bit different. A journey more about characters and personal development, NOT about "saving the world". Also, there's an "exam" at the middle of the game which actually feels challenging and kinda fun. You'll feel like you've accomplished something after it.
=\ I'd love to play another atelier game with the alchemy system/etc but, these new ones have nothing on Iris imo. The newer titles just seem to girly.
Wish a new Iris-like game would come soon.

Well go play Ar Tonelico Qoga and Ar noSurge if you haven't already (more conventional RPGs made by the same developers). I would also say just give Firis a chance and try to look past that "girly" exterior, it gets pretty addictive

Personally I think it's a great deal. If you're not a fan of preowned games though, there's a fairly cheap new link HERE at The Gamery:
