edit: of forgot to mention, this game is pretty standalone so you don't need to play the other games to enjoy it, though playing the other games does amplify the experience.

and now we reach to the third and final game to the Dusk series in regards to the Atelier games, which is Atelier Shallie: Alchemist of the Dusk Sea. though there is probably going to be more atelier games down the road, just the dusk subseries that is coming to an end. To say that I have been a pretty devoted fan of the atelier games on the ps3 would be appropriate. Ever since completing Atelier Rorona from quite a few years back, the atelier games have always been games that I look forward to. They’re just such pleasant and unique games to play though and are such a joy for me to experience. From their relaxing and upbeat atmosphere and charming characters, to how the games are structured, to the robust alchemy system to even having enjoyable turn based combat systems (well from meuru and onward). The Atelier games are just games that I really adore and look forward to. and Atelier Shallie is no exception. so without further delay, let’s begin.
