It’s not dead, well, yet..

I’m always tried of people saying the PS2 is dead. Well, not yet of course, come on. Well, I guess my guys and girls at GUST/NIS are going to have to prove them them dead wrong with Ar Tonelico II. Yeah, how did they pull that off?

Well, anyway, you take the role of a young church knight named Croix Batel that is sent to find the source of a epidemic of some sort in the region of Metafalss. But, eventually, the simple quest turns into something more and it’s up to Croix and his crew to uncover the secrets that at work. I know, it’s not much of a story and the way I explained it is not much better, but at least you get to see the beautiful artwork AR is know for.

There have been plenty of new changes made to the game such as the Dualstall and battle system as well as the good old features coming back, so no need to feel as if it has been done before. I won’t spoil all the fun for you, but, there are a few surprises too, that been added to this game  (I played parts of the JPN version, so yeah I know XD)

But in all moderation like with Persona 4, I can’t exactly score this game, until I see the English product done. So, if you have a couple bucks left from the holiday season and they don’t change the date: You can see AR2 coming January 20, 2009.
