Arcana Hearts 3

Sairus

I don't think there's any thread for this yet, my apologies if there is.

So anyways, this moe-fest is getting a full retail release in Europe unlike our American counterparts. It hits stores June 30th and comes in two flavours, regular and limited:


Zen United also mentioned they have some sort of AH related surprise announcement soon, so it could potentially be a Fan Edition yoke like BBCS got.

Anyone getting this game?

Aside from Kiki? :pac:

And Monkeyto.

Had a look for some gameplay.

Looks kind of.... boring?

K.O.Kiki

I'm poor atm, so I can't buy on release.

chueytoo

If I'm not poor I might get it

Naphiel

I'll say I won't get it, get hyped the week before release and buy it.

And there we have the thought process of everyone on this board.

Orim

Don't forget the play it for a week and decide I hate it phase.

Fergus_

Might give it a go :pac:

Xinkai

I'm getting it =P

Thomas-G

Thou shalt not doubht Ark System Works

Xbox though yeah? Don't wanna be the only man in Ireland playing with little girls.

Ramza

I'm 12 years old and what is this?

Doctor DooM

Looks slow and projectile based.

I'm in

Dundle

I want it. Just gotta convince my gf I amn't a weirdo for playing it.

Monkeyto

If anyone wants to try it, I have a JP copy for the PS3. I'll pop into some Sat afternoon in the coming weeks if anyone wants a play test. I'm currently playing as Eko.

Ah yes, Arcana Hearts. I don't understand this clip.

erinsoup

The guys in that other vid don't seem to look like they knew what they're doing.

It's is a reaaaally rushdown heavy game.

Sairus

Well, that video has convinced me not to pick up the game anyways. Good stuff.

Leprekaun

I like 2D fighters and I'm sure AH is a good game, no denying that when it comes to ASW games. But I still have to get into BlazBlue properly and I'm already feeling a little overwhelmed by the more complex fighting and combo system (in comparison to SSFIV).

Naphiel

Know the feeling. I'm trying to get into Blazblue properly as well. Then I have to get into Mortal Kombat and properly pick up SSFIV (waiting for AE).

Considering how much I have to do I should probably pass on this. I know I'll end up with it launch week regardless.

Leprekaun

I remember reading on fightersgeneration.com that it was already released on PSN? I know its a silly thing to mention since PSN has been shut down again but for those interested in buying it, hopefully PSN will be back online before the 30th of June :pac:

That's only in North America. If it's any consolation, they aren't getting the Xbox 360 version at all.

Leprekaun

Oh right ok. Well, for European users, there is a way of still getting it with a US account

Thomas-G

You don't have to own in every fighting game to enjoy it! I played Blazblue when I got it because it was fun and the characters were so different. Getting decent was just a side effect!

This looks like fantastic fun, can't wait!

Sairus

Like BBCS, Zen United have just announced a Fan Edition of Arcana Hearts available only through their online store at http://store.blazbluegame.com

The FE is just the standard Limited Edition, but with one important addition:

chopperbyrne

Pre-ordered!

Naphiel

Standard Limited Edition for me it seems.

She's a robot so it doesn't matter

Monkeyto

After some stern investigation I found that ordering that LE+Boobs set will set you back €85.

While the LE without Boobspad will cost €45 on play.com.

Your paying €40 for the Boobspad.

DON'T DO IT KIKI

K.O.Kiki

A friend of mine brought me a boobpad back from Japan earlier in the year, so I have no need for it.

Life-like texture...

It's a Tournament Edition boobie mouse pad.
Which real sanwa silicon.

Linoud

Played a game of it at the London Expo the weekend just gone. It seems like an interesting balance concept with having to choose your character and your arcana. Allows for some interesting counter-picking I suppose.

Got a ton of free posters for it, and there was some nice looking ladies in cosplay at the Zen United stand for it, so I might pick it up. :P

Orim

Arcana Heart is hype.

Swords are not.

Doctor DooM

I like the character with the sonic boom (wind ftw) and the flash kick.

Could've swore I saw somewhere that her charge moves were all wacky and inverted compared to Guiles, that could be interesting.

I seem to recall blacking out and waking up 15 minutes later when someone tried to explain some of her moves to me all right.

Arcana Hearts stream at revalations.

Listening to the commentators, this game is seriously complicated

Voa

Listening to the stream back over; Stuff like 6GC 4C lvl 3 cancel what.
Sword?

Zen United in delay shock:

Good afternoon everyone.
Unfortunately, we regret to announce that due to some last minute changes we're going to have to push back the release of Arcana Heart 3.

We're working hard to rectify these issues and hope that the delay will not be significant.

We expect the new release date to be in August, and will obviously update you all when we know more.

This is a tough one for us to announce so close to launch - but rest assured we're doing all we can to bring Arcana Heart 3 out to you as soon as possible.

Thanks for your patience,
The Zen Team.

Orim

This was funny when it happened with blazblue. I don't get as much enjoyment out of these delays now that it's affecting a game I want to play.

Sairus

Zen, you truly are an amazing publisher.

Scavenger XIII

Goddamnit Zen get something out on time, just once.

Monkeyto

This sucks. Though I hear it is because they recently learned that swords are OP.

My copy is dispatched and on it's way. Was only €21.50 because I pre-ordered it at the right time.

The Hound

Cant wait, I'm hyped for this
