poor Atelier i guess taking the traditional jrpg root didn't help

I'm beginning to wonder whether it has had the opposite effect of alienating some of the original fanbase.

I hope not.  It looks very good and feedback seems to be extremely positive.  I'm playing Atelier Ayesha at the moment and it's a very solid entry imo, so I don't think it's been people put off my the series either.

Just wonder if it's series fatigue by this point.  A game a year for 5 years.

I dont think it was alienating the fanbase since you can still play the traditional atelier style adding another playable character was meant to attract new gamers into the series, but for some reason they were just not interested. Anyways i think this game got less hype compared to Ayesha so Its probably just series fatigue.
