Most people discover the franchise through the gorgeous art. The real draw is the art, music, and character development. These games are like slice of life anime shows that happen to have turn based combat and other JRPG tropes. The focus is never on combat or saving the world. Gust’s Atelier games are very interesting JRPGs. These are based on the Vita “Plus” releases.
These games include most of the previously released DLC and are available on their own or in a single package that gets quite a nice discount. These are Atelier Rorona: The Alchemists of Arland DX, Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland DX, and Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland DX. The Atelier Arland Series Deluxe Pack includes all three games from the Atelier Arland trilogy. Thankfully Koei Tecmo and Gust aim to sort this out with the Atelier Arland series Deluxe Pack that is available on PS4, Switch, and PC bringing the whole trilogy to modern systems.

Most people likely don’t own a Vita and many moved on from the PS3 to PS4 so Gust’s celebrated Arland series of Atelier games would forever be lost to time. Sadly, Koei Tecmo chose to leave the newest trilogy incomplete on Vita by skipping the localisation of Atelier Lydie which only made it to the West on PS4, Switch, and PC despite also being available on Vita in Japan. If you’ve ever wanted to get into the Atelier franchise, the PS Vita is actually the best platform given the sheer amount of Atelier games available. Atelier Sophie is also a great starting point since it was the beginning of a new trilogy. While NIS America brought out some fantastic releases in the franchise on earlier PlayStation consoles, Koei Tecmo took over in recent years and Atelier Sophie finally had the series on PS4 in addition to Vita which made it easier to recommend to new fans. The problem it has faced besides the obvious lack of awareness among even hardcore JRPG circles is the lack of availability of many classics on modern systems.
The Atelier series of games has been one of the best hidden gems in JRPG history.
