Finally eroge for the PS3! Cleverly disguised as an RPG, Tears To Tiara has scenes like this which immediately gives it away. Will be released on July 17th and actually looks quite good as you can see from the clip below.

    Looks interesting. But, since I have no PS3, and live in the US, I probably won't get to play it.

      I'm sure someone would write up a translation at some point and post it online. So if you don't mind the hassle of reading back and forth... I guess it could be doable.

    Pretty sure this is a Japan only release sadly. Even though PS3 is region-free it still doesn't solve the language barrier.

      oh yeah, Strategy RPGs for the win!

      By the way Danny, you were talking about getting 戦場のヴァルキュリア:GALLIAN CHRONICLES, did you ever get that?

    I can still remember i think that the very first RPG w/ such a "content" (you know what i mean - tho its only a secret gallery that you have to complete) was from Lunia for Play Station. But i think this one is waay much better to see~ ^^"""

      Maybe just ecchi content. The eroge content will usually be censored out for console games in Japan AFAIK.

    I'm guessing this was the original, http://leaf.aquaplus.jp/product/ttt/ (?) and this is remake/rewrite. I play quite a bit of eroge, but for some reason leaf/aquaplus stuff has never really manage to catch my interest as much...I blame nitroplus. lol

    Looking at the battle system, I don't think this is a game I'd enjoy..
    BTW- I see in the trailer, towards the ending they say, "RPG + AVG". I'm not sure about this, but I guess AVG = adult video game?

    I got ahold of the original 'Tears to Tiara' awhile ago not knowing it was an H-AVG-RPG. Not a fan of the combat system as it was really, really slow, but the characters were kind interesting.

    The PC version wasn't turn-based, it was a slow real-time system that was incredibly annoying. Sometimes the CPU would take over your characters and send them into the heart of a hopeless battle.

    Never saw anything adult in the game, but I only spent a few hours with it in total.

    Yeah, I noticed that afterwards. Thanks.

    Origianlly added H-RPG, but AVG just made that more clear? (No excuse for stupidity, sorry.)

    Is there going to be a new storyline for the PS3 version, or is it supposed to follow the same one as the PC?

    Wow really doesn't seem like an eroge to me.
    I was thinking that they are just using sexy images for advertisment.

    It looks like a pretty decent break into the mainstream console market for Aquaplus to me.

    So the AVG word holds the meaning of eroge?

    Well at least this one uses pretty good HD 3D visuals, I just don't get why Disgaea 3 need to be on PS3.

    Dunno if there are still people reading about this... but instead of making a completely new post, I thought that it would be best to make a reply here.

    It seems it's not gonna be an eroge after all.
    The game already exists for the PC... the PC version is called Tears to Tiara, and the future PS3 version is called Tears to Tiara: Kakan no Daichi.

    Found another trailer for the PS3 version, a trailer for the PC version, and some more "pics of pics".

    Posted on my blog here:
    http://xspblog.com/2008/06/10/tears-to-tiara-eroge-on-ps3/

    Still looks pretty interesting... being a Turn Based Tactics RPG and all (think Disgaea).
