 Loading aside, a worthwhile game Jul 14, 2009
By Lieutenant Nikos
"The Helpful Gamer"
Most people who play this port of the PS2 title will tell you that there's a lot of loading, and it's true. It's also somewhat buggy, as the game has frozen on me several times, especially after putting the PSP on hibernate. These are major flaws, and also major turn-offs for many gamers.
If you can deal with those problems, however, you'll find a fun game with many unique features. Crafting new equipment and gaining new abilities/stats tie together in a way that is pretty fun and addictive. Battles are also enjoyable, and even though they start out simple, they get more interesting as your party grows and you can swap out members at defensive or offensive opportunities. In my mind, however, the best feature of this game is the story: getting to know the characters and having them develop through the optional free times are memorable for both humorous and heartwarming scenes. If you have patience and a PSP, and you like RPGs, you can't go wrong with this game.

Lovely characters, addictive item-synthesis, really good story! Oct 04, 2010
By M. Kreutz
"MrMuk"
Positive:
- Addictive item-synthesis-system
- Interesting grow book-system instead of the regular leveling up
- Well done characters
- Well done story
- Fights can be really interesting
- Interesting finale with multiple endings
Negative:
- Loading times (even with the download-version it's annoying sometimes)
- Fights can be boring, too
- item search can be annoying
- Annoying night time
- Repetitive gameplay
Well, the story is about Vayne, a boy with amnesia, who is called to study at the Al-Revis alchemy school where he meets many new and slowly uncovers his past.
The main characters are done quite well and detailed and by doing character quests in the free time you get to know them even more. You'll quickly like the characters. The overall mood in the game is a happy, funny one, but to the end, as the story progresses, it gets more serious.
In this game, you don't level up. Instead you have to synthesis new items, which unlock new abilities (and higher stats) for the characters.
The fight-system is round-based and some specialities like variable strike (consecutive triple attack with vayne in the end, deals high damage).
While the boss fights are interesting and can be quite hard, too, the regular fights with the monsters with the world can be quite boring/annoying.
Another annoying thing is that the monsters get double as strong at night. So either you return to home and visit the world again or... you just wait till it gets day again. So, to me, the "night"-mode was quite senseless and annoying.
The gameplay of the game is actually quite repetitive: You do some quests, you search for items, you synthesis items, again and again. Well, it won't really bother you if you enjoy the item-synthesis and the story.
The main point of the game is of course the story/characters: There are many story scenes, which are long sometimes, too.
So if you don't like animes or rather stories in games, you won't like the game.
So I can recommend this game to everyone who enjoys a nice anime-like story and the "item-collecting" thing. Also to those, who don't like final fantasy, I can recommend this game.
It took me about 50 hours to beat this game.

 load times are horrible Jun 11, 2009
By A. Alegria
I bought this game because I am a sucker for any rpg game. Unfortunately I only played like three-four hours of it. It was one load screen after another, and even when it was not on a load screen, you would push a button for an action and there would be like a second of lag before you saw it executed. Combat animations would cut out. It looks pretty when standing still, but animation is not fluid.
I got tired and moved the The Crinsom Gem Saga, thank god this game was waiting for me, a game that has better visuals and moves really fast even when is loading.

Good game May 01, 2009
By Dreux Barbier
"Cajun techie"
I find this to be a great game for the portable space. If you love games where you can synthesize items, this is for you. Great for fans of Atelier games. Combat takes getting used to but it's fun. Load times happen often, but if you load part to the memory on the PSP it goes faster and it isn't as bad as reviewers say. I don't think they had the load to memory function maybe? The best part though is the synthesizing of items you can change them a lot and come up with new stuff by changing the recipes you have. This in turn opens up your stats and makes you more powerful :) It's fun.

The game as such is great but on the psp it is an outrage. The game freezes all 30 minutes of playtime. NIS should be really ashamed for selling this not working product!
