JRPG developer Gust is working on yet another addition to its Ar Tonelico series, exclusively for the PS3. Like its predecessors, Ar Tonelico III will explore a new music-based battle system, with players able to create custom songs and change background music, according to Siliconera. The initial teaser trailer doesn't reveal much -- beyond showing off some of the characters, it reveals a surprisingly early 2010 Japanese release for the game.
Gust's previous PS3 game, Atelier Rorona, was in full 3D, and we're hoping Ar Tonelico III will follow suit. NIS America has localized both PS2 Ar Tonelico games in the past, so it's likely the third game will also find its way to the publisher next year.
This is why they call it a teaser trailer. The official trailer comes out later on. But anyways this is my highly anticipated release ever since owning a PS3 and Gust with the partnership with Namco have made my dreams come true since the previous 2 games were so amazing.
Sweet?!!? You must already be a fan of the series. 'Cuz to someone who's never heard of it and knows nothing about it, that was the worst trailer ever.

How do you make a trailer for a game with absolutely no programming put into it? :)

Looks like a PS2 game to be honest with you.

What in the hell does Namco Bandai have to do with it...?

"Music-based battle system" kinda turned me off, I like the old school look though.

Well the music in that video was pretty good so there is still hope for it yet

Ar Tonelico's music has always been superb that you could actually get the games just to listen to the music because the music is just that good.

By the way the events are 2D but the fighting is 3D action.
