The ESRB rating for Ar tonelico: Qoga is out... and it's rated M.

Given the nature of the game, it's not very surprising, although I know a lot of people were worried NISA was going to censure some things in the game. Looks like it's untouched, though it needed something stronger than T.

Hi everyone! I hope you're having a good week, here's some news from the NIS front provided by Dengeki Online.

New Antiphona screenshots and character information, today the feature involves Mirabelle's prince and the duet they share. Unfortunately, it looks like her young prince has no name of his own yet.

+ There's a convinient information system in the game too. Here, you can check information on you characters, look up songs and scenes as you progress through the game. Unfortunately, all of the information won't be available right away, you'll have to continue down the game to find out more.

+ ... Apparently Toro and Kuro also have cameos in the game.

+ Antiphona will showcase all four seasons throughout the world. That's pretty neat!

The rest of the page features misc. screenshots for your eyes. :D

As for Zettai Hero Reconstruction Project or whathaveyou- there's five pages of new characters, screenshots, and gameplay content. From the ultra customizable characters to their family members, Zettai hero looks... uh, really interesting! I mean, I don't know what to say. It's just rather quirky in it's own way...

Characters featured :
- Main character! This loser is you!
- MC's Family- Dad (Mitsuo), Mom (Anko), and little sister (Choco)
- Makerennojya, the previous hero who was defeated. He watches over the main character to make sure he's not screwing up. Real name : 一文字ピロ彦
- Etoranze (Meaning : Stranger?! ) Hero Training School Instructor, apparently. That girl, yes. She yells and forces the MC to do hero drills, she's one strange heroine.

There's also a sample of some of the enemies and how battles are conducted in the game. Awesome. I'm a little confused on the battle system myself, but it looks interesting! :D

EDIT I forgot to mention:
Ar Tonelico III has been announced.

Gust’s next big game is Ar Tonelico III and it’s a PlayStation 3 exclusive. The game stars Aoto, a strapping lad who is accompanied by two reyvateils, Saki, a lab born Reyvateil on the run, and Phinnel, a pure blood Reyvateil. These characters live on a third tower known as Sol Cluster. (

So my friend and I cosplayed Misha and Aurica of Ar Tonelico, and I wanted to share some of the pictures. ^^ Ar Tonelico needs more love - very few people recognized us in our costumes, ahaha.



More pictures behind the fake cut.

(So who will you choose, Lyner?)

icons ahoy

From the NISA Newsletter :

Hello everyone!

Happy Friday! We hope that you are having a good start to your Fall. We think we can make it even better with some Ar tonelico 2 preorder news! The RosenQueen store has begun taking preorders for Ar tonelico 2 today. There is a cool preorder bonus item from RosenQueen as usual, so don't miss out on this chance to get your hands on the exclusive RosenQueen merchandise!

The Ar tonelico 2 game will be packaged in a special box, including an art collection and the soundtrack CD. Just like the first Ar tonelico, NIS America stuffed the special box with exciting bonus items.

If you preorder at RosenQueen you will receive a RosenQueen exclusive soundtrack that includes 31 songs, which will also come with another 12-page art booklet insert. This might be too much for your Ar tonelico needs, but we don't think so! We want you to enjoy these Ar tonelico 2 bonus items to the max.

RosenQueen has only 2,000 copies of this exclusive soundtrack, so don't wait too long. It's now or never!

Happy preordering!

NIS America has been planning a really cool campaign for Ar tonelico 2. We'll be in touch with you about it in a couple of weeks. Keep your eyes open for the next NISA E-Newsletter!

Its somewhat old news, but I noticed the Ar Tonelico reprint is back in stock for $19.99. If anyone missed the chance to get the game and doesn't care about the extras the original version came with, now is the time to get a copy and play it.

NIS America sent out an e-newsletter a few days ago and it mentioned that Puchi Puchi Virus is now available for pre-order. It will come with a Prinny Anti-Virus stress reliever and the item is limited to the first 1,000 pre-orders.  It will certainly be useful if you're getting your ass kicked by this game or Disgaea 3 later on.


Puchi Puchi Virus is scheduled to come out Late July at $19.99. Could this late July release mean that Disgaea DS could be pushed back as well?

In other news, NIS America plans to issue a reprint of Ar Tonelico at $19.99 without all the extras, but it seems to have sold out just before I made this post.
