According to Dengeki PlayStation magazine, Ar no Surge will revolve around magic and the power of thoughts and it has been confirmed that the name is indeed a combination of two game franchises, Ar Tonelico and Ciel no Surge. However, the relation between the games have not been revealed as of yet.

Ar no Surge will be your standard RPG but the battle system will be a little bit different using a system of turn-based command battles There is going to be some action element to the battles, including an action based “Defending” system (something I really like in RPG’s), according to the scans.

There is also a system that involves a person’s heart, called the “Genometric System”. This system will be used to increase your characters powers in some way. 

Ar No Surge is set to be released on January 30th in 2014 for PlayStation 3 and as of this moment, has no western release date.

What do you think of the fusion of Ar Tonelico and Ciel no Surge? Does it look like your sort of thing? Or are JRPG’s not your style?
