I love the Atelier Iris series RPGs for the PS2, its not only classic RPG, but the whole concept of alchemy mixed with spells and magic and mythlogical storylines is just so kool. Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana was my least favorite out of all of them. Atelier Iris 2: The Azoth of Destiny was epic and awesome. Atelier Iris 3: Grand Phantasm was yet again awesome and started taking the battle system to a whole new exciting level, but still staying on the classic turn-based style of RPGs.

Then came Mana Khemia, project A9, for the PS2, which the continuation of the Atelier Iris series, although it doesn't use the title, "Atelier Iris," anymore. Mana Khemia's classic turn-based RPG gameplay was the most exciting part of the game. From burst mode to consecutive strike, to Finishing Strikes, the characters abilities were amazingly upgraded from Atelier Iris 3. It totally blew me away and made classic turn-based RPG alot more exciting then ever before.

One of my most favorite aspects of the Atelier Iris series is the set of awesome music it provides. Every one of those games has awesome gameplay music, especially boss battle music. Mana Khemia has by far, the best music of the series yet. If some of you haven't heard of Mana Khemia before, you might wanna go and pick it up, its a really fun game.

Oh, this sounds interesting... what system or they for if this one is for PS2, are the older ones for PSone? is the PS2 game new or old?

Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana, Atelier Iris 2: The Azoth of Destiny, Atelier Iris 3: Grand Phantasm, and Mana Khemia are all for the PS2. I'm not sure if there all still available or out of stock, but Mana Khemia just came out March of this year, so you're likely to find that one. Mana Khemia is the best one though.

For some odd reason, there coming out with Mana Khemia for the PSP, but I'd get the PS2 version because the PSP version will most likely lag alot and the quality and the music won't be as good as on the PS2.

I can't wait for Mana Khemia 2, which is supposed to come out early next year. I've seen gameplay and trailers for it already, it looks soooooo goood!!!

I'm too lazy, link me up some trailers!

Game Trailers has some of the best trailers and battle gameplay for Mana Khemia and Mana Khemia 2. I'm so sad that Japan already got Mana Khemia 2 in June

But here is a link to Game Trailers site. This page is Mana Khemia's one, but on the bottom it has some good Mana Khemia 2 gameplay trailers. Also, each Atelier series game has an anime opening sequence in the beginning with a theme song.
