I definitely agree Ayesha is the best of the Dusk series (and the best Atelier overall imo), but the other two aren't so bad, just didn't really deliver on the fantastic setup and potential Ayesha had. I'd say Shallie is better than Escha to Logy, but I really *really* like Escha and Logy as characters so it balances out a little.
They made a fourth Arland game which honestly owned way harder than it had any right to, and now they're making a fourth Mysterious game, which... well, I'm not the biggest Mysterious fan, but hey, cool. Wish they'd make a fourth Dusk game and give the series better closure, but I think that trilogy sold the least overall by a wide margin so it'll probably never happen rip.
But, man, seriously, MARIA is probably the best final boss theme I've ever heard. I still listen to it all time, it rocks so hard.
