If you haven't already seen our Nintendo Life review of this game, here's a quick sample and you can see the full video review below this:
"We’d give this one a recommendation not only to long-time Atelier veterans, but also to fans of other vast JRPG adventures such as the Xenoblade series. Atelier Yumia is a bold step forward for this franchise, and it stands as a strong indication that the Atelier series has a lot of life left in it yet."
