Mana Khemia is a fun departure from the other Atelier games. You still have to craft stuff before time limits but the system is stripped down from having to worry about the stats of every individual ingredient and makes particular ingredients have qualities just based on type so you don't have to pray for the random loot to spit out an 89 quality phlogiston just so you can make a good enough bomb for a mission. XP exists to unlock character traits but traditional levels don't, it's tied primarily to crafting new items to unlock new nodes a lot like the Final Fantasy X node system.
The combat system is actually a lot of fun and each character has a very distinct fighting style.
I highly recommend trying it out. The PS2 version has slightly better graphics than PSP and doesn't have a glitch that was preventing me from being able to see the save/load page. It will hang at the beginning of any conversation sequence, but that's a flaw with the original game on both platforms.
