Let me start by saying that if you did not like Rarona you will probably dislike this game as well. The structure of how the game plays is basically the same: Get quest...synth or hunt to accomplish quest...complete quest by due date. That being said there have been some very effective tweaks.

Improvements:

Characters now have a MP bar! Thank god.

Items in container can be turned in (don't need to be in basket). Huge time saver.

Massive increase in explorable areas.

Multiple towns

Main quest has only one key deadline is reliant on somthing like a trophy system. The more things you do in the game (not just quests)the more trophies you get. Each "trophy" is worth points that allow you to rank up. You need to reach a certain rank by a certain year to keep the game moving forward.

quality of items turned in for quests no longer impact if you complete the quest or not; however they will impact the prize.

Synthed items now have a point system where you can use points to assign traits. You basically will be able to customize each item you synth. The higher the quality the more/better traits you can assign.

There is a End boss!

...and a bonus end boss!

party members come to you and ask for items, you dont need to go to them.

Multiple homonuculus working for you at once!

Overall better balance between exploring, synthing, gathering and fighting.

The one thing I didn't like is how gathering and fighting enemies now use up days. This forces you to decide if picking up items is even worth your time. I could have done without this aspect.

Atelier Rorona was the series first jump to full 3D. While Rorona was good, simple fun it was fairly iffy in visual design and most of the gameplay functionality was a drop down from past games although refocused into an interesting time-management type

Totori keeps the few strengths of Rorona and drops incredible, high polished upgrades on everything else. The visuals, most notably are some of the best on any console for my tastes. Very high end character modeling and everything is well filtered and anti-aliased, rare for a console game.

Gameplay has all been improved too, quest flow to management to balance to feature set is all upgraded, boss fights and dungeons and all of the meat is just so much more cohesive.

In the end this is one of the best niche titles available on the PS3 so if a little frill and lace don't scare you off give it a shot.

Atelier Totori feels like an major upgrade from Rorona. Graphics have significantly improved and look much more anime cel-shaded style at all times. Combat system has been revised from the first game in the series and includes features that streamlines the action. The story seems to be a bit better than the last game but not too far into the game to say too much about it. Synthesizing items still has a role in the game and there is still a time line however. The packaging is much smaller than the other premium edition games of the past such as of Atelier Rorona or Ar Tonelico. The artbook that comes with it is okay but I own the Atelier series artbook so nothing much I can really say here. I haven't listened to the soundtrack CD either but I don't think it can compare to the actual soundtrack. Overall, appears to be a good game if you are fans of the series and JRPGS in general. Just be sure to not play through this game and then go play Rorona or that will take quite a bit of adjusting to.

I love atelier saga, I have been playing this kind of games since the first one I recommend this game because it has many things to do and the story and chats are too funny XD , the only bad thing is if you have not played any atelier game before this game is going to be too hard for you so be careful but nothing is imposible ^^ if you do your best and try hard you are going to be able to clear it ^^

So, i beat this game Last night, or the game ended after 22 hours of play and i lost. Or i should say i ran out of time. This games about micro managing your time and the different challenges that you have to complete to get points for your licences to stay a adventurer. at first your able to basically go about and grind to get these points but by the second half of the game you better have it figured out. It took me a long time to figure out how to get better swords and armor which was my down fall in the end.

This games fun though, the characters are your basic group of cute anime characters, with little to no actual story to hold onto. so you better find them cute or entertaining or something or you'll be pushing the next button a lot. The real problem is by the second half, i started not caring about what was happening, because it started feeling to much like the same same. one of the big reason i think i lost so badly as well.

So, if you like animal crossing, or any of those facebook gardening games this games your ticket. if your like me and you need a little bit more to hold onto, then I'd read about it plenty before picking up a copy. I'm happy i did and the first 15 hours i put into the game i really enjoyed, but I'm not sure if i care to play it again to get the better endings. For the game will just be again the same same.

I give this game 4 stars because i really appreciate that these different style games are coming out in America, and i really did like it until i got bored.

Would recommend for most people to pick up the cheaper version, not the Bundle Edition. It's not really worth it compared to the last ones that came out with the other Nis titles. the books small, and the Soundtrack is most just the back ground music. That said the geek in me had to have it.
