Every game is a dice role and that is half the charm.

Yes, it's the PreCure of video games. Shalie is the best Atelier game & one of the 5 best PS3 Games period

Some are.

I want Mimi's ass on my face

I'd say a good deal of them are. I hated the Mysterious games so I'm on break from the franchise though.

they're incredibly boring

Some of them are fantastic, but at worst they're passable. Also seems like they're produced with a $40 budget so they churn 'em out yearly.

Tecmo has 60 Billion dollars, It's fucking stupid that they don't give the Atelier devs a COD sized Budget for every new yearly game.

iris2 is the only good atelier game, unless you count mana khemia. you can't even say "the iris series was good and the rest suck", because iris1 and 3 also suck. how it has survived as a series when it only has 1 good game (or 3 if you count MK) is beyond me, over the years I have played them simply because I feel like -something- must have changed for the series to have not died, and every time I have been wrong, so I haven't played any of them past escha&logy.
