Getting into the Atelier series is not the easiest task to undertake – unless you don’t care about playing them in any order that is! With more than two dozen mainline games, split into multiple arcs, even understanding where each one belongs may prove to be a hassle.
Not anymore though, since I’m sure the categorization below will give you the fastest answer to your Atelier questions, and clear any confusion once and for all!
Keep in mind that the first two series, Salburg & Gramnad, have never been released officially in English (but some fan translations are available), while the following two, Iris & Mana Khemia barely did. Only after the Arland Quadrilogy are all the games easily available on multiple platforms, in both physical & digital versions, so I definitely suggest you start from there!
Last but not least, keep in mind that different arcs / series have almost zero relation & reference to each other, so story-wise it’s safe to start with any of them. Similarly, even the games of each arc have little continuity between them, however, I do suggest you start at the first game of an arc at the least.
