I would point out that at four hours you've barely played through the tutorial, but I assume you know that.
Oh well

I'm pretty sure the first three years of the game are all one big tutorial. Not exactly something I want to put up with at the moment, though I may try again tomorrow. I'm playing Tales of Destiny right now, though, and I'm enjoying that a lot more.
.. I'm assuming you're having a joke there but just in case; the game only lasts three years.
Rorona was my first Atelier game, and I was bored through the tutorial process, too. It was only around the second year where I realised the complexity of the systems and the intensity of the time management, and that's about where the game clicked for me.
Okay...now I'm really disappointed. I was expecting that at some point the assignments would stop and I'd be free to do my own thing, but if that's the full extent of the game, then...I'm not so sure this is really what I wanted to get into.
So Sony is going for a family friendly fall line up this year which is why they're only releasing
Sly 4
Playstaion all stars battle royale
wonderbook
Little big karting
This only makes me wonder what excatly is wrong with Sony. If they were supposedly pushing this family friendly slate hard and with wonderbook launching in the fall why didn't they push back sorcery to market alongside it, instead of letting it die along with starhawk and Twisted Metal.
Overall it could work but I see two problems. I personally have no faith in Sony marketing any more after the only thing I saw of the vita was taco bell commercials. That and the Wii U launching will have an abundance of family software and Microsoft is also launching a few games for kids and will probably have another kid friendly bundle. But then anything that keeps the mascot platflrmer alive is cool with me.
WAT!

Oh no LBK looks great better than Mario kart even (though thats not hard). The line up just seems a bit lackluster made of B-tier games and not having 1 or 2 games that pack a solid punch.
Tokyo Jungle is probably my most anticipated game from Sony this year.
But I guess this is good as ot means the vita will get pushed more.

I'm not excatly sure what's wrong with their marketing. Usually it falls on its flat on its face or is overused (Kevin Butler) or just there isn't any marketing what so ever. I mean I went to pick up sorcery up and nobody knew what it was.
Not sure if its a lack of marketing budget or something.

From what I've seen, Sony is more interested in marketing towards market creation, than its existing audience. As we're all gamers here we don't see the lion's share of Sony marketing.
Sony also does a whole lot of behind the scenes organic marketing, and its a sponsor of the Soccer World Cup, which is a massive marketing expense.
In recent years I've seen only Nintendo actually advertise (usually their 1st party games) on TV. I've rarely seen many commercials for PS3 or 360 games. In fact, the most recent gaming commercials I remember were for Kingdom Hearts 3D and Mass Effect. Too bad other gaming companies and studios don't advertise as much.

That's because Nintendo ONLY really does TV advertising. Sony and Microsoft run blogs, have sponsorships, and are far, far more engaged with bloggers and media.
I really wish, if there was just one thing that I say that people pay attention to, it's this: TV advertising is not all there is to marketing. Hell, advertising is not all there is to marketing. Marketing is a complete strategy, of which advertising is just one part.
Nothing bugs me more than people's insistence that advertising is an immediate fix for poor sales, or the mistaken assumption that marketing and advertising mean the same thing.

Not that I said that. It's true that most gamers I know of have switched to using the internet to learn/read/watch about new games coming out.
