Atelier beginner tips?

I just bought pic related and started playing the first game (Rorona). I have no idea what I am doing and there's a SHITLOAD of things to do. How do I prioritize my time best? I don't want to read a walkthrough but I'm also afraid of fucking up with no coming back.

Any beginner tips?

stupid slut

Wich one should i play first btw?

Rorona is the first one that came out, story-wise it would make sense to play that one first. But I heard the later ones have better QoL improvements and are more fun.

So looking at gameplay of these they seem to be actual turn based JRPGs and not visual novels like I initially assumed. Are they comparable to Persona games? OP implies there's some sense of time management.

They are somewhat similar to Persona as far as time management and storyline progression goes. You have to manage your time wisely as you have to prioritize synthesizing, exploring, selling stuff, etc. It's similar to Recettear in a way.

Let go. You're never going to get what you want or see everything going in blind so just play the game and if you like it a lot you can go through it again with a faq.

It's annoying for people like us but playing the game with a calendar telling you what to do is worse.

Finished Rorona and Totori so far. Honestly, you can't really fuck up. You are gonna miss stuff, but unless you're a literal retard you're not going to run out of time. Rorona is the only one that has 3 month deadlines, the rest are just "get this done by the end of the year" or "the end of 3 years", where said task is generally not that hard at all.

If you want the True Endings though, you're gonna need a walkthrough. That's 100% autism though, you're better off just playing naturally, having fun, exploring, and then watching the true ending on YT.
