With respect to the Atelier Iris Series, this game is OUTSTANDING!! I have to thank NIS in bringing this game in. Even if PS2 is a little too close upon its doom, I will continue to play the platform as long as these kinds of game excist.

Mana Khemia got the lively characters as Atelier Iris 2, some of the gameplay of Atelier Iris 3, and much much more. I really like the grow book system instead of leveling. Because there was a time i asked myself, "Why do the Alchemists in the AI series are arguably more skillfull in fighting than making things?". The Grow Book System erases that question, because you have to Synthesis first in order to gain skills used to fight the nasties. Thank NIS, keep up the good work.
