Tone. Many games I play these days take a very serious or dark and gritty tone. Ryza, and atelier as a whole, is the opposite. It's bright, colorful, and happy. They just out to tell a wholesome coming of age story. It was like a breath of fresh air when I first played it.
Great sound track.
Best crafting system I have ever played with. Since the story is about a young alchemist just starting to learn her trade, the whole game is built up around the crafting system. Even when you beat bosses, instead of dropping treasure or legendary gear, they drop rare crafting materials. That being said, it also means you will be spending most of your time gathering materials and crafting new items. If that is not your thing, you probably won't like the game.
Very scalable difficulty. Since you craft all of the gear you use, you have a lot of control over the game's challenge. You can choose to make it almost impossible by making trash items, or go full god mode crafting to bring down end games bosses in just a couple hits.

I have several good things to say about Ryza.
