Ciel No Surge Takes Place On A 24 Hour Clock, Has Downloadable Costumes

Ciel No Surge Takes Place On A 24 Hour Clock, Has Downloadable CostumesA few more details about Ciel no Surge, Gust’s upcoming PlayStation Vita game, come from retail listings. Most of the information we covered before, so here’s a quick recap.

 

Ciel no Surge stars Ion, a mysterious girl who has amnesia. Your job is to awaken her memories by using dive gates to enter her mind. When you aren’t wandering through Ion’s psyche, Ciel no Surge plays like a communication game where you can bond with her.

 

Ion lives life on a 24 hour clock (it isn’t clear if this is real time or in game time) and she does her own thing depending on the time of day. You will see Ion eat, sleep, and wash up in her daily routine. Ion also has costumes she can change into. First print copies of Ciel no Surge include a PSN code to download clothes and accessories. This confirms news from a previous post that Ciel no Surge may have downloadable content.

 

Ciel no Surge comes out on April 26 in Japan.

    I wonder if there’s a chance for this game to be localized in English . . .

    • http://twitter.com/JezzSan Jezzy

       NISA to the rescue!

      • Darkrise

         It’s practically a VN. =/

        • xXDGFXx

          so was disgaea infinite.

    • Kai2591

       Nowadays anything is possible!

  • z_merquise

    I sense maid costumes somewhere in her wardrobe.

    Or maybe I just think too much.

    • Lexaus_the_Alchemist

      Nope, I was thinking the same thing. I expect we’ll see all the common costumes, like swimsuit, maid uniform, school-like outfit, bunny suit, etc. … On second thought, that last one may not be so common…

      • Kai2591

         Its inevitable :)

      • raymk

        Well I want the last one even if its not so common.  It does appear in a few games though but the last time i’ve seen a bunnygirl costume in a game is black rock shooter.

    Wow…that’s an innovative concept for a video game. Helping a person through their own amnesia. Until she gets it back then you discover that she’s a secret service agent with hidden maid costumes in her wardrobe and she’s taken a broom to the knee.

    So my guess was correct huh, the DLC is about new outfits figures. And yeah I hope this will get localized.. Go NISA!!

  • OverlordZetta

    This is sounding less like a video game and more like one of those monster raising things. But yknow. With a girl to feed and bathe and clean up after instead of a Digimon or Tamogotchi or whatever.

  • Kai2591

    I bet there will be crossover costumes from previous GUST games, like Cloche’s costume from Ar Tonelico, or Totori’s from Atelier.etc

    • raymk

      Don’t get my hopes up man.  I’d kill for a Cloche costume :)

    • theworldofnoboundries

      Just give me Cocona and i will shut my mouth for a month lol.

  • Stolichnaya

    i was hoping this was going to be a jrpg..you know with combat and all of that.well guess not

    • Duc PC-QB

      Yeah, Gust Moe JRPG = Nose bleed

  • Darkrise

    Kind of disappointed, especially when it’s pretty much a VN meaning no chance for a localization at this point. 

    • brian yep

      This is a Gust thing.
      Gust is fairly popular outside of Japan.
      We’re getting a PSP OTOME VN, so this game is pretty likely to get picked up since it is on a new platform.

    Moe’…..

  • Natat

    So is this pretty much Ar Tonelico without RPG elements?

    • Stolichnaya

      yep,pretty much. i can only hope it comes with something like the hymms in ar tonelico though

    • Xerain

      Lack of RPG elements is not entirely confirmed. It could happen during the Dives.

  • Crazy_O

    This would be so great if translated.
    If NISA would release a LE id buy it in a heartbeat.

    • AzureNova

      With or without I would still buy Ion…..er I mean the game, but yes I definitely would want a limited edition =^_^=

  • PrinceHeir

    “Ion lives life on a 24 hour clock (it isn’t clear if this is real time or in game time)”

    ohh yes please :P

  • AzureNova

    Please for the love of all that is good and holy let Ciel get localized to the U.S. and around the entire world!!!!! NISA please, I beg of theeeeeee!
    >__< !!!!!

  • ChaoticTapestry

    Tamogotchi: Breasts Edition?  /totally misspelled tomogatchi.  I tried twice.  xD
    I’m still interested, but…not sure if this’ll be very fun anymore.  I’ll have to see more about the gameplay.
