Atelier Ayesha, finished. No spoilers!
It turns out I was wrong about a few of my early impressions of the game:
After a certain event, Ayesha will indeed shout "BARREL!" at barrels. +10POINTS.
So, I sat down and completed the game this weekend. I missed a ton of events, but did manage to finish Juris plotline so I went with that for the ending. I was just beginning to figure out some of the high end weapon stuff, but it takes a long time to fully grasp how to exploit that stuff.
After you complete the game, there's an extras menu that lets you check out all the music, concept art, the event art, movies... character models... all that good stuff! I highly recommend the game to Atelier newbies. It's a good starting place. The next game in ther series looks awesome as well, hoping it shows up on our shores sooner rather than later!
I think I'll actually go back for a second helping sometime in the summer. I still have to beat Sly 4 and Assassins Creed 3. AC3 will probably stay on the backburner for awhile after this week. Don't feel like running around Boston... well... you know.
(I was nowhere near the city this week, just in case you were wondering. It didn't make the week any less hectic though.)
I've been keeping my eye on ongoing game developments. E3 is lurking, I can feel it... it's going to be crazy.

Regretfully, I don't know much about the Atelier series. However, I'm hoping my newly gifted psp will give me a wealth of new Jrpgs to choose from!

Here's hoping the next Atelier game shows up as well, and also that either Tecmo Koei America will handle it better or give it back to NISA to publish.

Speaking of awesome games where you shout "Barrel!" at barrels: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VideoGame/EmbricOfWulfhammersCastle?from=Main.EmbricOfWulfhammersCastle
