I played an atalier game on vita. I got very far into it before I stopped playing. Something about the game really bugged me. It was easy to get lost and forget what you were doing, especially when it came to alchemizing things and getting equipment. I also thought the battle system was incredibly shallow, but I forgave that as the direction of the game wasnt necassarily geared towards battling. Is there much contrast between titles?
