First trailer for Square/Enix's new MMO Concerto Gate unveiled

Almost since the start of the new century, Square/Enix has offered the highly popular Crossgate MMO to fans in China, Japan, and other parts of East Asia. The service closed in Japan late last year, in anticipation of a new title. Concerto Gate (Japanese site) is that title, and the first trailer for the wacky anime-inspired virtual world just recently hit US shores.

Unfortunately the trailer shows almost nothing about what the actual game will be like, but we can make some guesses by looking at Concerto's successor, Crossgate. That game features fantasy gameplay in the vein of Dragon Quest and similar JRPGs, but also features a Pokemon-like creature system. One class in the game specializes in catching, taming, and training these (undoubtedly adorable) creatures. Whether full of cute bunnies or not, we'll be sure to keep you appraised as more details about the title become available. Check out the trailer below the cut.

Thanks, Joystiq!
