Ar tonelico III: Sekai Shuuen no Hikigane wa Shoujo no Uta ga Hiku releases in Japan later this month and the new trailer reveals weirdness, actual gameplay, and some neat music.

The Ar tonelico series doesn’t really get too much recognition, but the games are pretty fun and lighthearted. If you’re a fan of RPGs, you should give Ar tonelico a try.

The series started on the PS2 but the developers at Gust are bringing the sequel to the PS3 in Japan for the first time in 3D. The game is being published by Namco Bandai and it’s unknown if the game will be localized. Hopefully Nippon Ichi Software picks up the title like they’ve done with the previous games in the series.

The trailer despite its initial weirdness is actually pretty good and lengthy and those that have been keeping up with the series should be quite pleased. What exactly is going on? Your guess is as good as ours.

Ar tonelico III: Sekai Shuuen no Hikigane wa Shoujo no Uta ga Hiku releases in Japan on January, 28th. It’s a great year to be a fan of RPGs if you’re a PS3 owner. About time right? Be sure to check out the official website for more information, trailers, and tracks from the OST.
