Ar Tonelico 3, The Girl's Song that Pulls the Trigger of World's Demise Options

[~Miitan]

It was announced last month or so that Ar Tonelico 3 would be released for the PS3. I'm a huge fan of the series, but oh my goodness, this one looks absolutely amazing so far. The graphics have switched to a (mostly) 3-D base as has the battle system, changing from a turn based affair to what now seems to be a real time system similar to that of the Tales and Star Ocean series. It has also been revamped with a new feature called R.A.H, a system that will allow you to find parts of songs while diving into the Reyvateil's Cosmosphere (spiritual world) which you can then put together to form your own magic in the midst of battle. The effects will vary from attacks to buffs depending on what you put together. Multiple personalities you find in the Cosmosphere can be switched between and effect the magic even more so. Music also changes depending on what you compose.
