If you have any questions, feel free to ask! Some of us have been playing the game for quite some time now =)

4/19/11 : On this day, the US PSN port dropped. If you are one of the many that bought the JP version and have data online, the US port upon connecting to the servers will retrieve and import it. It is otherwise identical to the JP version.

1/24/11 : Brennan brought this news first ! (followed by affinity)
AH3 that’s readable to the west!

Picked up AH3 and need to navigate the menu’s? Hakami provided thissuper useful translation on HC

oh btw, THE PORT IS GOOD

12/9/10 : Orka has translated some of the network and game mode options announced here
TrueGunnerShadow has started a PSN roster list [-259318/’]here]('http://shoryuken.com/f238/arcana-hearts-3-roster-list-[psn)
Thanks for coming out to NEC!

11/7/10: BlackShinobi has compiled a list of vids for those that have some interest in this game but are lost as far as character selection/gameplay. You can look 2 posts down from this one, or click this link for the lazy. It is mostly complete, and if you are able to find good examples of sample gameplay vids PM either him, or Saotome Kaneda, and one of us will update the post.

10/19/10:
Arcana Heart 3 will be @NEC this December.
Casuals will be on Saturday all day, tourney will be on Sunday!
Come get bodied by coma, rei, razya, and ME.

10/7/10:
PRE ORDERS ARE UP on amiami, this will be the best deal for importing most likely.
PS3 LIMITED
PS3 REGULAR
XBOX360 LIMITED
XBOX360 REGULAR
HRAP V3 AH3 Editions : PS3
XBOX 360

What’s the big deal?
AH3 should bring back a revival to the USA scene hopefully, which was killed by the terrible Ecole AH2.5 PS2 port. It was a SBO main game this year, no b-side crap.
The new port is being worked on by ArcSys Works, and will include features such as :

  • Modes: Story, Versus, Score Attack, Training, Network, Gallery
  • Two screen modes (4:3 and 16:9)
  • Improved in-game animation cuts (full sidebar animations in 4:3 mode, pretty fun to watch)
  • Up to 6 players in a room for network matches (hopefully BB netcode)

Ok, so I’ve never played any of these games or I haven’t played since AH Full

Furthermore, the background on the mystery release found on Arc’s site is becoming closer and closer the the red/black gradient of the AH3 main pages. It seems like a JP release in the winter, which is fine for PS3 owners.

shoutouts to keits

I have some JP matches on my YT as well. I will be putting more up.

YouTube - rei336’s Channel

Also I will challenge you arturo. Prepare for my Scharlachrot :smiley:

That it seems like every hit leads to a 40% combo in this one.
I don’t remember it being the case in earlier games.

I’m so hype for this, I’m not gonna even troll this topic! :smiley:

BTW, just an FYI, when your combo is on CH, your overall combo does more damage.
Yea, you actually get a damage bonus for landing CH, lulz ;p

yay for luck arcana and random counterhits~

Actually that explains a lot. Thanks.

Damage overall is higher, but if you prefer AH1’s loops, then I’d have to call you crazy.

Besides, it’s better that every character does similar damage as opposed to only a couple doing high damage (Heart/mei-fang in the old games)

im not gonna lie if new bb update is trash… im playing ah3.

Uh oh, scene revival?! :rock:

Assuming netplay will allow me to play Japanese people pretty decently… I’m dropping everything else as well. Lol.

AH3 for EVO 2011?

If you mean those iad loops with everyone then no, I didn’t like them.

I will sell baby pandas on the black market to see this streamed next year at EVO… XD

…too bad I don’t have any baby pandas on me, but you get my enthusiasm… ^_^;;;

Awesome news is awesome… My hype hasn’t died down yet, especially after thinking about THAT port of S!AH2… T.T

I would have been just happy with a playable, arcade-perfect port, but Arc-System Works doing the port with netplay? If it’s anywhere near as good as BlazBlue’s offering, then it’s just the icing and cherry on top of a very sugary cake… XD

O-O~
