Is Gust a big enough name in Japan to have confidence in releasing an online-only title for a new handheld console with unknown potential?

[vampko]

I'll just wait on more info before I say anything. This could be a misunderstanding of some sort.

[lordryo]

It could be anything.

Note: I am claming this girl:

Damn you Shizuka! I miss out on everything due to my nocturnal schedule! Well, you're a lucky guy Shiz. If anything every goes wrong, surely you'll trust me enough to take care of her for ya.

So my speculations were wrong. Either the idea of this game sounds great! I'm not too sure about an online only title, it would really depend on what's it's like, but i usually don't like online games.

If I'm allowed to make some input, the title looks to me to be translated as "Surge Concerto: Ciel's Surge ~The Song Offered to the Lost Planet/Star~" (the last part because we don't know what's the game's plot, and thus, I don't have the context to figure it out).

[myskaros]

Not sure if you're going off the romaji, but in the Japanese title I clearly see a "shi"/"death" character at the end :X Unless you're just translating liberally into "lost."

Aquagon's like an (unofficial) professional translator that doesn't get paid.

I'll take a look at it myself sometime.

I don't think it's online only. But, as I said, we'll know when more gets revealed.

Also, that title is REEKING of Ar tonelico. Course, it can't be 'Ar tonelico' and has to have a whole different world/story so that NB has no rights to it.

Hmm, yes, the title has a 死 kanji at the end, and that makes the meaning of the title much more grim and dark too... Here's the revised form:

Surge Concerto: Ciel's Surge ~A Death Offered to the Lost Planet/Star~

[SilverCitizen]

Sold!

Ion looks incredibly cute~

[Darcnova]

Ion...I knew Ion in Abyss was a reverse trap!

Kidding aside, I'm interested...this reeks of Ar Tonelico, especially with Ciel being mentioned in the title...though who knows what it can actually be

Me and you both...I got hyped when the article translated claimed it would be a new series, and there's a possibility that it's musical based too (unless they're going for a Castlevania type deal where they're throwing in a musical term for the hell of it), but then saw that. I have no idea when I'll ever get the Vita (yes I know it isn't out yet), but as long as this isn't exclusively online, this will be the first game so far that will help towards me deciding to get a Vita or not (now I just need to hear about 3-4 more titles to make the purchase worthwhile)...

This article mentions the game as a franchise spread across multiple platforms. Don't know how I feel about that.

In other news; Ion is one of the sexiest video game characters I've seen next to Lightning and Nepgear.

[SaturnineTenshi]

Yeah, I cannot see "Ciel" being in the title a mere coincidence. As for the rest, there simply is not enough information to judge.

[vampko]

I know I can't be right but...love plus meets Ar tonelico..?

Just an odd and insane thought that crashed through my mind
