Yumia is releasing next year. Maybe try that one as it seems quite a good starting point. I bought the whole Ryza trilogy just because of the art style lol. It's my first Atelier game. It's frustrating at parts lol but I have committed and it's quite unique and fun too 😄.

Yeah, it's great these last few years! It's also quite cool that sometimes long franchises like the Altelier games are getting more mainstream 😀
