Holy shit, if a Musou RPG ever happens...

Take my money.

It has long been my dream to see a full-fledged RPG taking place during the 3 Kingdoms/Warring States.

At3 isn't turn based. I prefer what we had in At2 more. At3's battle system would be something along the line of "bad Star Ocean" if you ask me. I ground through the game because everything that's not the battle system. This one sounds promising, though.

On the other hand, I'm kinda worry that GUST has been working non-stop recently. Hopefully the game won't have rush feeling in it.

yep (what I assume is the) mc looks like a normal person and not like someone from a korean boyband or a little girl in lingerie. Scenery looks great as well.

Thanks for the scans ; )

Despite some pretty atrocious production values, I quite enjoyed Qoga. Ciel no Surge didn't look appealing at all, but I would give this a shot.

gamer.ne.jp posted some high(er) resolution images, quoted below including some images of Legion, erh...Arcies-

Both Arcies and Delta are the main protagonists - both of them will have separate (but related?) parties and the story will move forward by swapping back and forth between them.

"Dive system" is essentially in place called Genomatrix or something

Maybe the dude and the robot are the main, and the game is actually a Otome game with robot fetish...

Nah... Who I'am kidding.

Still, cool designs, not what I expected but I will really love to see what they would do now.

The setting synopsis in the OP mentions a heroine using song magic from the back line, but given that it's mostly gibberish, I'm sure there is a fair amount of possible interpretation :P

Hopefully this turns into something good. Cautiously interested, but at the same time, this is an offshoot of the Tonelico games, right? I suppose it's only a matter of time before what kind of interactions there are with female characters ...

after the 20th anniversary video - damn that ost, you have my attention Gust. I'd also like to try Ciel no Surge.

after 2 Ar Tonelico games I'm glad there is a new one from the same series (or close to that), and I didn't even like AT2 that much.

I am really excited for this. I absolutely adore the Ar Tonelico series and truly hope that this gets localized. I would even buy a Collector's Edition if they made one.

Would really love to see Ciel no Surge over here too. Gust is easily my favorite niche Japanese developer.

Hopefully it'll be better than Qoga. Qoga was ok, but between the characters not clicking with me, and the stripping for more power, it didn't make for the best of experiences...

Hymnos! ! ! Hope diving is back too. . . I guess considering how indepth it was in Ciel no Surge, maybe it's along those levels? It looks like the battle system is more like AT2 too. While purging and the battle system was a disappointment, the writing and music was still absolutely outstanding in AT3.

I'm really considering digging out my PS2 and finally playing AT1. . . My first AT game was 2. I never got around to 1 since 2 was supposedly such a major gameplay improvement ala neptunia ->mk2. But then again, I finished AT3 and that was inferior to 2 XD

New scans out floating out there. . . Bathing is back! You can do installs on different parts of the body, for yourself and the heroine, similar to Ar Tonelico 1

Also, seems like Sally will be joining in from Ciel no Surge. . . with her songs sang by Shimotsuki. So we have the holy trinity back! (Mitose/Shikata/Shimotsuki)

Keep a watch on this page too. . .

http://social.gust.co.jp/pc/ciel/aclatest



The ladies so far:

http://social.gust.co.jp/pc/arnosurge/chara_03.html Cassidy (From Ciel no Surge)


http://social.gust.co.jp/pc/arnosurge/chara_04.html Ion (From Ciel no Surge)


This is basically years after Ciel no Surge it seems? Cassidy was a whee little thing in Ciel no Surge . . . . I'm positive Delta is Tabou considering. Fuck I need to pick up Ciel no Surge.

Then there's Sally, but I can't go posting scans ;d

But here's how she looks in Ciel no Surge, far left girl in blue

I said I was not really fond of the character design in the game, but the art work make them look much better. Its just that the in-game model fails to capture the aura of the art. Its fine though, not like I was expecting otherwise.

Anyway, I registered my name for the OT of this game whenever it releases on the west. If someone else is interested in the game and wants to help with info and/or graphics for the OT feel free to contact me via PM.

On a different note, almost done with my Ar Tonelico 1 playthru. 35 hours . . . And wow, I really hate myself for having ignored this game thinking it'd be so dated after playing Ar Tonelico 2. I've enjoyed the battle system a lot actually despite.
