    The bright anime slideshow keeps up the pace and the moronic alchemy keeps you entertained for the major part of this ordeal, however, only a tired mind will keep going after the initial burst of energy is spent. Fighting gets pushed back, making headway for endless trading, synthesizing and chat missions. Which is a shame, because fighting is so much fun in this game. The utterly atrocious translation kills another three points off the score.… Expand

    Man! This game is cool. But it is too short. And I'll like Atelier more if it has GF like Final Fantasy.^^

    Atelier Iris 6 brings us a well stitched up rpg classic that combines awesome 2d graphics, great music, good battlesystem and fun adventure. Only real shortcoming is in the jump and jump controls it could have used more tweaking. Liked Lunar? You'll enjoy atelier iris eternal mana for sure.

    Very good RPG but not as good as Shadow Hearts -Covenant. A little too short and very kiddy dialogue.

    Personally, I loved it, bit I can understand people who don't... Almost all characters are childish and the storyline is... wel... not really inspired. The REAL interest of this game definitely lies in the Alchemy and all the items you can synthetize. I loved it !

    This game is fun and interesting. But the constant alchemy and side questing gets very repetitive. It leaves you almost no time for the main story. It's still really well put together.

    The graphics and music are very nicely done. The gameplay is fun, though it gets repetetive. Sadly, the localization is uneven. The voice acting is excellent, but there is a bug that freezes the game right after defeating the final boss.

    Atelier Iris certainly is an interesting game. A lot of it is the standard RPG fare, but the extensive item creation system really makes this game stand out from the rest. Going around to the different shops of the world, and creating dozens of new items never seems to get old. The characters (particularly some of the NPCs) make you care about them, and you might spend more time trying to advance their mini-stories than advancing the main story. As for challenge, the game is overall easy, though a few bosses might hold you up for a bit. It's worth a look for any RPG fan, though anyone else may want to do some more research before picking this one up.… Expand

    A potent concoction that should appeal to any RPG fan. [July 2005, p.112]

    The icing on this cake of RPG happiness is the clever and relatively gaffe-free localization. [June 2005, p.128]
  3. Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

    While at times a throwback to the last generation of RPGs, it's surprisingly full-featured and charming; fans of the item crafting in "Star Ocean" will be in heaven. [July 2005, p.75]
