It's been a while since I blogged about anything non-FOSS. This time I'll be sharing some impressions on one of the games I'm playing at the moment, that is,** Ar Tonelico III** (which arrived at my doorstep two days ago). I admit I haven't been a fan of Gust games (aside from Ar Tonelico, they're known mostly for the _Atelier_ series), mostly because technically wise they didn't really perform that well. While I understood they're a small company, sometimes it was a little too much.

I bought this one because from the movies and information disseminated throughout the net it looked like it was better, so I started reading information, which in turn prompted the buy: it's also a good way to keep my Japanese in order, as I need to keep up with the language if I want to understand things.

Right now I've just played a couple of hours, and it looks decent, although with some technical issues (the characters glide over the terrain, rather than walk). I've also seen the infamous _Purge System_ in action (look it up online), which made quite a number of fan sneer for a various number of reasons. As of the story, I can't say anything at the moment: I've just started. At least it is moderately fun.

[Here's a hands-on](http://forum.everyeye.it/invision/index.php?showtopic=527861) (Italian) which covers more details. I'll try to post a few updates in the future (if I don't forget....)

And here's a quick video I made with my camera:
