Atelier Iris

I was walking downtown with a few friends of mine last friday and we stopped in a gaming store called Letterbox. It had many new and used PS2 games on it's shelves. One game in particular caught my eye.

Aletier Iris: Eternal Mana is an RPG concerning alchemy, from what I gathered. The reason I was so interested was because of it's charming graphics (call me superficial).

Anyway, before I go head in and buy this game, is it any good? Aside from it's beautiful graphics? I don't want to buy a game based on graphics alone and hate it (like I did with Drakengard, the dark and gory theme interested me, but I hated the game).

So, is Aletier Iris: Eternal Mana a good buy?

Going off of the Game Rankings page the title is certainly higher in quality than other games, but not a runaway success. I guess it would depend on the price, perhaps someone who's played it can compare it to another game so you can see what it's like.

Yes, awesome RPG and funny as hell game.

I love the game, I'd say get it, including the sequal.

I bought mine the day it was released and I played it for a good 2 weeks, but sadly traded it in for Magna Carta. It was a lovely little game, it is worth it.
