The graphics weren't the big thing in the PS2 versions either, at least they DID an upgrade for 3D. Oh well if you compare this to let's say, valkyria chronicles, this falls short. Now it can rely on gameplay, but as the other two, also on the soundtrack and somewhat the story. (plus the diving system)
I just noticed the AT3 site has been updated recently with lot's of new character, battle and system in game shots and artwork pics. Very cool update if you have not been to the site in the last few weeks!
i am 100% sure that the '"guy" with the purple hair and the orange hat on his head is in reality Cocona who is hiding her identity, and i believe that in the game she will take off her hat revealing her long purple hair and all the other character would say : ho you are a girl!
Tatsumi really is a boy based on his backgrounds in the site , although it's not bad to speculate that Cocona is Tatsumi, after all, Gust may throw a surprise at people.
Yeah saw that one too, It appears that Cocona is a vanguard as well >_> And Cocona wears clothes with the same style as Luca's, and that mystery girl in this trailer could be NOT Cocona, because she still has the pigtails. . .
I wish dood, NIS is pretty slow on licensing games. They don't even have an official release date for Atelier Rorona yet plus we know how long it took Ar Tonelico 1 and 2 to come stateside. The only 2 companies that can bring Ar Tonelico 3 stateside are Namco Bandai and NISA and both of those companies will take a long time to license Ar Tonelico 3. And before anyone says anything if there is any problems in the US release it can always be fixed in an update unlike Ar Tonelico 2 being on PS2.
This cinematic trailer is really good, the music and art shown in it blew me away. I am waiting for the localization announcement. Defineitly ordering this and Atelier Rorona in 2010.
the clip I saw on nicovid already has the lyrics for the songs played there, but no credit for the performing artist. can I say that's probably Akiko Shikata's song?
Wow, after seeing this video, I've find that Finnel is getting cooler at some point. I wish I could understand Japanese and have PS3, lol. This game seems wickedly awesome.
at first i didn't like it cuz i didn't like the character art. now i'm so fucking excited.... i like the switching personas thing sooo fn great ar tonelico ftmfw
There's a possibility it's the new Utau Oka (Expressive Hill), but I suppose it's a mixture from different songs in the game. The song title is still unknown. Prolly we have to wait some time for the announcement.
Though i have no idea what this is all about, this looks kinda awesome >w<

Poor graphics compared with other PS3 games. Now it can only rely on its gameplay.

Now all possibility of Tatsumi being Cocona is officially 0%. Another trailer was unveiled just today, and Cocona appears in it.

@Stmarc971 there is a new trailer, and cocona is way older than tatsumi, at least 3 or 4 years

If the Ar tonelico games are from Namco Bandai company, why not name the series with the tales series like "Tales of Ar Tonelico" 1, 2, and 3

AT was originally published by Banpresto before their acquisition by NBGI.

enditall727 2 years ago
the characters are:
the guy is Aoto
the blond haired girl is Saki
and the blue haired and sexy girl is Finnel
right ?
and one question the womman who sings is Akiko Shikata too ??
ALKIRIRI 2 years ago
I think it's Akiko Shikata... it sounds like her.
equinoxsalamander 2 years ago
@equinoxsalamander
It's her. And there are two songs in there, both sung by Shikata: an unknown one, and the opening theme: Singing Hills ~Harmonics TILIA~
suiryuukishi 2 years ago
Finnel has bright purple hair on the site while Akane a supporting (I think) char has light blue/gray hair, she's the ninja girl.
shelteringsky0 2 years ago
Wow, the music is beautiful as always~ =D
The character art's pretty but I still prefer AT 2's..love Saki, though..she's cute~ ^^
I think this series has most of Japanese elements compared to its previous two~

LavenderYuki 2 years ago
From the sound of it, it does sounds like Akiko Shikata's voice. I think there's no doubt that she will sing again for this one.
joe021093 2 years ago
lol I guessed so too. but somehow I'm thinking Mitose instead of Shikata. hopefully she and Shimotsuki will still perform the hymmnos too.
LavenderYuki 2 years ago
Ar Tonelico's music is always so beautiful... I can't wait to get my hands on the hymnos songs!

sprog1000 2 years ago
There's a possibility it's the new Utau Oka (Expressive Hill), but I suppose it's a mixture from different songs in the game. The song title is still unknown. Prolly we have to wait some time for the announcement.
joe021093 2 years ago
Correction: It's Singing Hills. Remember that the kanji for "Utau" has different connotations in the world of Ar tonelico.
