More gaming...

Shi Mazinger will be AWESOME!!! The new Kouji is so much more hot-blooded and screams much better. Double Dancougar in the game too. LOL at the Gurren Lagann cannonball attack. Nice bounce animation from Yoko and cut-in from Aoi

Still wondering whether to buy Ar Tonelico 3 when I already have the JP version. The artbook is rather tempting. As usual Utau Oka -Tilia- is really beautiful, great sound quality and Shikato Akiko is my music goddess

http://atelier-ps3.jp/meruru/

Meruru no Atelier, Arland no Renkinjutsushi 3. Loli Rorona, a beautiful 19 year old Totori (still with her Delicious Flat Chest haha) and a new main character, Meruru, Totori's apprentice

Man, I'm busy as it is, what with Dragon Age 2, Disgaea 4, L@ve Once -Mermaid's Tear-, Shin Sangoku Musou 6, Sengoku Musou 3 Z and Agarest Senki 2. There's SRW Z 2 Hakai Hen coming in April, Meruru in June, I'll overheat from playing

MY AR TONELICO 3 CDS CAME!!!

OST cover

The Hymmnos case cover, which has the concert blue and red inside it

SAKIYA=RUMEI Hymmnos concert side blue

SUZUNO=MIYA hymmnos concert side red

Haven't really heard much of the cds, except for Sakiya=Rumei. The KOKIA songs are great, but I'm currently leaning towards Shikata Akiko still. Shikata was one of the main reasons why I enjoyed the songs so much

AT3 Countdown Festa + Tilia

http://ar-tonelico.jp/at3_countdown_fes/

Countdown to Ar Tonelico 3 release date. For today, we have Aoto's seiyuu giving a short message. It's updated everyday. There's seiyuu messages, play movie and comments by the producer

Tilia, administrator of the 3rd tower bears a striking resemblance to Shurelia (Eolia). Her seiyuu is done by Sakamoto Maaya and her utahime is KOKIA

Ar tonelico III Special Movie ~Hymmnos Preview Mix~

The first Hymmnos Preview Mix now with movie added

So we do know what the song names are and who sang it. The OP song for the game, Harmonics Tilia is wonderful to listen to. As expected from Shikata Akiko and Tsuchiya Akira, Utau Ota has always been great(Just when I thought Harmonics Frelia can't be beaten). Hymmnos + KOKIA = Sure Win. KOKIA seems like she was made to sing for Ar Tonelico.

What's with the guys doing their hissatsus in underwear?? I'm sure on niconico video, Aoto's drill will be linked or referenced to Gurren Lagann. At 1:33 we get to see the purge ability in action. Cocona shown during in-game . Cosmosphere related events (chained-up Finnel and Soma-crystal related event) XaaCi sung by Mitose Noriko. To quote McDonalds I'm loving it. Aoto cheating on Finnel event LOL??? Fusionsphere sung by Shimotsuki, nice song. KOKIA songs are made of win.

LOL at the last part. Kenka wa Yamete!!

Ar Tonelico 3 Hymmnos Concert Preview #2

Seems to be clips from SAKIYA=RUMEI cd. Some were pretty good, some ok except for that weird happy song. I think easily half of the songs were sung played were sung by Shikata Akiko

Ar Tonelico 3 PV2

Finally, a much clearer version of the amazon promo. Slowly counting down the days the game and cds will be released

New Ar Tonelico 3 scans from Famitsu

Woohoo, it's Cocona! Question is whether she's vanguard or revateil during battles, or can she do both? So as the 3rd revateil in the party, she gets an ending with Aoto? Then what about our Ar Tonelico 2 main char, Chroah? Looks like she's grown up a little, but whether her personality is still the same as the previous game is another. Whatever, Cocona was awesome in 2, so it leaves the question of which girl I'll chase for my 1st run, FInnel or Cocona

Sasya from Ar tonelico 2. Grown a little and she'll most likely be a shopkeeper like in 2

Eh, the previous version had the center girl hidden, which would mean that Cocona is pretty much confirmed as girl no.3. The 3rd girls are usually pretty popular and sung by Mitose Noriko. 1 had Shurelia, revateil Origin and administrator of the 1st tower. Clumsy and having a terrible sense of direction, her popularity among fans is still high. 2 had Jakuri, real name Mule who was the last boss for 1. As a Beta blood revateil, she's powerful and useful in battle. She wasn't purely evil and going through her cosmosphere, we learned why she did the things she did. Her end was still the best among the girls in my opinion

Ar Tonelico 3 Amazon.Jp PV

COCONA KITAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cocona confirmed as party member... Like in AT2, she seems to be at frontline fighting. Shows up again at 3:45, then Jack and Cursye show up? Choppy yes,but this will have to do until a better version shows up. From the overall mood near the 2nd half, it looks like the end of the series, someone may die

Was yea ra

So the language Hymmnos used in Ar Tonelico can be described as a language of emotions as the sentence structures all focuses on expressing feelings and emotions

Take for example, was yea ra. The first three words are Emotion Sounds.

(first word: degree) (second word: nature (third word: desirability)

The first word is describes the degree of the singer's emotion. The second word describes the emotions conveyed. The third word describes how desirable how singer finds the emotion

Was means very much

yea means happy

ra means I want this to continue

Overall, it can mean I wasnt this happiness to continue. Of course, the direct translation of the word and how the whole sentence is translated can be rather different

Cover for the Animate.Gamers Limited Edition Box. I'd seriously like to get it

The Gust shop/Amazon Hymmnos Concert pack. The new design for the covers is really nice compared to previous Hymmnos Concert covers. There seems to be an emphasis on butterflies, will we find out why when we play the game?

Hymmnos Concert Song Preview

http://www.team-e.co.jp/sp/artonelico3/red.html
There are some songs that have the usual Ar Tonelico feel and some new songs that go in another direction. After listening to it, I'm actually more tempted to get the cds. KOKIA's song samples are pretty awesome, Shikata Akiko and Mitose Noriko still sound good no matter the song

Ar Tonelico 3: Purge

So purging makes them stronger in the gaming sense, but this feels like some perverted strip mahjong game

At the top we have Saki and her other personalities. Left is Sakiya Rumei and Salapator, right is Saki and Filament. Bottom is Finnel and her personalities. Left is Finnel and Soma. Right is Unknown maybe she's Suzuno Miya?) and Yurishica. Hmmm, Nekomimi on Filament, Soma true face is rather cute

Ar Tonelico 3 Hymmnos Concert

Ar Tonelico III hymmnos concert side. Red

Shimotsuki Haruka and 7 other vocalists if I didn't read wrong

More info at http://shop.salburg.com/product/at3/at3_cd/index.htm

Seriously, this is a MUST GET for AT fans. The extra vocalists is a strange move and I don't see Mitose Noriko and Ishibashi Yuko's name mentioned anywhere
