YMMV / Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland

• Adorkable: Rorona is a cross between a Cute Clumsy Girl and a Genki Girl with a touch of Genius Ditz, and the result is a very cute and endearing protagonist.
• Game-Breaker: Tera Bombs, especially the ones with good quality.
  • for playable characters example, Sterk and Gio. They're more experienced in combat than anyone else in the party.
  • Cory's "Call Servant" skill is another one.
  • Iksel. He's accessible early in the game, doesn't cost much to hire, has effective special attacks, and is one of the few healers in the game. And unlike Lionela, he has a high HP cap.
  • In Rorona Plus, Esty can count. Speed high enough to get two or even three strikes before the turn rotation finishes and a ranged normal attack (a rarity in this game compared to Meruru). Considering how good she is in Meruru, is it any surprise that her past self is just as powerful?
• Moe: Rorona. Most of her popularity in game stems from this.
• Scrappy Mechanic:
  • The time management of this game can get pretty annoying for some players due to the fact that days pass quickly while traveling to some of the later locations, with the last few dungeons taking more than a week to reach and some locations will cost the player three days after leaving to a new area. Certain items will take more than a day to craft, and while the player can register some items to make some assignments easier, ingots and cloth cannot and both take two days at the minimum just to make one.
  • A minor one, but the end credits are unskippable, meaning that if you've unlocked all of the endings and are trying to see them all, you have to watch the 5 minute long credits sequence every single time.
