inspired by/blatantly stolen from this post
little bits of thoughts and details, as well as spoilers, about each below
Favorite Game of All Time: Final Fantasy IX! From characters to themes to soundtrack, while each parts on their own might be inferior to other games, in its full package nothing will ever beat out FFIX for me. I love this game with all my heart.
Favorite Series: The Tales series~ Their stories always manage to capture me, the character designs are iconic... They might be trope-heavy and sometimes predictable, but its MY trope-heavy and sometimes predictable game series.
Best Soundtrack: Ar tonelico II. This was actually very hard and AT2 does still have several contenders. TWEWY, Terraria Calamity Mod, Pokémon... In the end AT2 won out for now because. Well. It's not often a soundtrack is a huge deal in-universe, songs have their own conlang(s) with grammar and everything, and the soundtrack was specifically designed to sound like it was produced on in-universe instruments as opposed to real life ones. Why did I pick AT2 instead of 1 or 3? It's my favorite and I'm biased.
Favorite Protagonist: Niko OneShot and Kirby! Feel good characters that always make me smile. I would die for them. (hey who's that hiding in there, where did he come from--)
Favorite Villain: Magolor, Kuja, Ardyn. My boys, my chew toys. I would die for them, but for entirely different reasons that for Niko or Kirby, and if I hear anything bad about them in my presence I will throw hands. (in my head anyways, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and i shy away from online confrontation. just hope i will never meet you offline because in that case WILL argue in their favor with you for hours.)
Best Story: Finding Paradise. I adore the characters, the game makes me cry everytime I play it, it left even more of an emotional impact than To The Moon did, I have never felt more personally attacked or seen by a video game, let's move on.
Have not played but want to: Digimon Survive I own and have started, but lost motivation a few hours in. I still wanna finish it one day because I keep hearing only good things about it and I'm a sucker for character development and insect Digimon. OMORI I also own and also have finished one route, but I haven't gotten to the hikkikomori route yet. One day. Kirby Squeak Squad/Mouse Attack I genuinely have never played and wish to change that one day. Sassy mouse phantom thief with cane and ice magic? That's entirely my aesthetic.
You Love Everyone Hates: Final Fantasy XV and Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. In both cases I think the hate has mostly subsided by now, but I vividly remember many people disliking both games to an unfair degree. Neither are as bad as people made them out to be.
You Hate Everyone Loves: No :3
Best Art Style: CrossCode, The Murder of Sonic The Hedgehog and The World Ends With You. I like anime artystyle and I'm proud. CrossCode is beautiful pixel art, TMoSTH is so unbelievably cozy, and TWEWY is just *chef's kiss*
Favorite Ending: After careful deliberating I went with Ar tonelico 3. The culmination of an overarching story of three games, connecting with the Planet, making up for sins and ultimately taking the first steps towards salvation. With Ec Tisia sounding in a new age as the credits roll. Beautiful.
Favorite Boss Fight: Sister Friede in Dark Souls 3. * disclaimer that I have never actually played DS3, but I love everything about this fight. Setting, atmosphere, dialogue, music, surprises... Truly peak, even if maybe a stereotypical answer to this question.
Childhood Game: Ocarina of Time, Final Fantasy VII and IX. Most N64 Mario games as well as Pokémon Crystal could be put on here, but I feel like those three are the ones that stuck with me the most.
Relaxing Game: OoT and Kirby again, but also Pokémon Platinum. OoT might sound weird at first, but with the soundtrack, the fishing pond as well as the ranch there really are a lot of cozy spots in the game. Kirby doesn't need an explanation, cozy and relaxing are a core part of the series. Platinum is here because of the soundtrack and nostalgia. It's my for now unrivaled favorite Pokémon game.
Stressful Game: Bloodborne and In Stars and Time. Bloodborne is self-explanatory, but also it's my favorite out of the Soulsborne games. In Stars and Time isn't stressful in the same way a Soulsborne game is, ISAT is emotionally stressful (positive and complimentory). My favorite video game party in several years.
Game you always come back to: FFIX, Majora's Mask, Twilight Princess and Platinum. Kingdom Hearts and TWEWY can also be on here, but the space is a too small.
Guilty Pleasure: The Ar tonelico trilogy. Not because the gameplay, story, music or characters are bad, but because there are some. Let's say outdated anime tropes in it. If you can live with some unnecessary fanservice and also less than stellar localizations in favor for genuinely amazing worldbuilding, and fantastic characters and songs, I am lovingly putting the games in your hands.
Tons of Hours Played: TWEWY, Platinum and Tales of Vesperia. You guys don't know how obsessed teenage me was with TWEWY. Platinum is, again, my favorite Pokémon game. And I wouldn't ever have gotten started on tumblr if it wasn't for Vesperia~ I keep gushing over Symphonia and the Abyss, but Vesperia's my go-to Tales game. Not one character I dislike in the whole party. They are all my children. Yes, even the 35 year old.

@sealer-of-wenkamui replied to your post “Hey guys, I am currently working on a Youtube...”:
Hell yeah glad to see more Ar Tonelico!! (The suggestion I gave you is the AT2 final boss time, the AT3 one is also amazing, it’s 4 sections (QoGa, Au GuMu and Ec Tisia (corrupted) and Ec Tisia~Tarifa)
I really want to play these games. I wish they would be re-released somewhere, because finding a legit copy will be difficult. I guess there is emulation, but emulating PS2 games isn't that easy as well *sigh* Ah, if I never get them, I can still watch Let's Plays, I guess.

i don't really have a way to play ps3 games so does anyone know how much i'd be missing out if i just played ar tonelico 1 and 2 but not qoga or ciel. i've been wanting to actually play ar tonelico for the better part of a decade but the third game being ps3 and ciel also apparently not being fully translated is throwing me off. like, do i just play 1, 2, and then skip to ar nosurge? is that... viable?

Twisted Tonelico Rewrite: Reyvateil Lore
As part one of my attempt to flesh out Twisted Tonelico again, I'm gonna dive deeper back into aspects of Ar Tonelico's rules-in this case their Spellcasters-to help everyone get a better understanding of them.
From my previous post about them, their creation and typing are all generally the same. Each Reyvateil type is born/ created and tethered to a Tower known as a Song Server(or Ar Tonelico as they are usually referred to in song). The language used primarily in the Ar Tonelico universe is called Hymmnos.
Through the Power of these Song Servers, these help them utilize their magic in ways that even a seasoned one from Twisted Wonderland would need to go through heavy lengths to master. Those include but are not limited to: Halting and destroying artificial monsters such as viruses and/ or Real life monsters, healing the wounded and the sick, sealing away great dangers, and building massive continents. and most of this is achieved through both strong Imagination of the singer, and their Feelings combined with the Feelings of the people around them.
There is a fatal drawback. A variety of drawbacks, actually.
The first one is that Reyvateil are glass cannon mages. Outside of ones within the Continent of Sol Cluster(AT 3/ Qoga), they aren't great physical fighters and as a result can be sitting ducks for an opponent to strike down. To make up for this, most Reyvateil who work in specialized jobs with a military group, defensive group or even free lancers tend to be partnered with someone. That person is labeled a Vanguard glorified meat shield. ljbkjb Vanguards live to fight alongside the Mage and protect them while they chant their songs. A last line of defense so the could finish their song to completion.
But this is also where drawback arises; Singing a Song to full completion can have negative consequences. Depending on the type of Song command and Will of the Singer, there is a high possibility that they can succumb to the Song's power. Tl,dr: They die or can die as the song needs an energy source(usually the Singer in question) to make the command go into full affect. Or course, there is a way to stop a song from being completed. You can either A.) Let them Finish it, B.) Kill them, or C.) Put the Reyvateil in a state of shock that causes them to stop singing(torture/ kill a loved one, shouting loud enough that it scares them, etc.)
Drawback no. Three is the Perimeter Limit for how far a Reyvateil can walk beyond a Tower's limited range and connection. Imagine you have your phone with you, and you go somewhere the reception and wi-fi connection is terrible. Take that principle and apply it to these Mages. Due to the way their bodies are in tune to the Song Server, any form of distance can be a detriment to their lives. Origins and Purebloods face the fate of their bodies breaking down into Biofluid with zero chance of re-stablizing, and half bloods(who would lose their songs and act as normal humans if their stray too far) will suffer death via shock in their attempt to reconnect to the tower.
There's no doubt more drawbacks, but these are the major ones in the grand scheme of things.
So, with all that said, what type is Meryu? She's a y-Sumblimate Second Generation Reyvateil.
Are there any in the main cast? If so, who? Other than the prev poll choosing a certain Scarabia Housewarden, the others are unknown.
How do Song Mages exist in Twisted Wonderland? This is Lore Spoilers I'm working so I can't really say what it is for now. But Song Magic(Hymmnos and Ar Ciela for example) DO exist there. It's just that not many people know how to use it effectively, or in the major case, it's lost to time with some exceptions.
Down below is examples of the glyphs and what Hymmnos looks like in the series.

Finally decided to be done with this since I started it ages ago and there are so many times I can update it before I should just redraw it with my current style. I always thought Ar Ru could have had some more character development.
#Ar tonelico#exa pico#ar tonelico qoga#ar tonelico iii#ar ru#fan art#gust#logic art#finished#definitely could be better but since i first drew it like a year ago that can be expected#i'm in a bad mood today so it kinda came out in this a bit#2020 art

So as you can see, this song is the namesake for this blog and it means a lot to me. Cocona only really got two hymns, but the way they both sound resonate with me so much; something about the hard drums and intense singing of someone who is so small but has so much feeling just hits me right here, man. Honestly this song got me through a really dark time, particularly my favorite lines in the song that I feel solidified my identity for me when I really needed it: Although my power and my voice will die off someday, the determination swirling within my heart is eternal. I want to protect forever everything I ever believed in and loved.
To be totally candid, I always related to Cocona and associated myself with her, in a series with lots of lewd moments and needless sexual tones (AT isn’t exactly unique in that sense when it comes to JRPGs), which was always hard for me to look past when identifying with a character as a teenager. But while I loved Cocona because she didn’t really get much fanservice, and for her snark knight, tomboyish, determined qualities, it was mostly her general compassion and thankfulness for everyone in her life. Granted I only really know her character in Qoga and this drama CD.
Anyway just listen. It pumps you up and makes you want to fight for yourself and for what you love.

Di tanah yang kering bagai neraka yang membara, ada sebuah rumah yang terbuat dari es. Beginilah kisah kuno tersebut:
Rumah itu disihir sehingga dipenuhi es, terdapat segel besar di rumah itu dan di dalamnya terkunci seorang gadis; ia sendirian. Suatu hari, datanglah seorang laki-laki. Matanya sayu, sama seperti gadis itu, Maka ia ingin menyelamatkan sang gadis. “Aku senang kau bicara padaku,” pikir gadis itu, namun ia tak bisa bicara. “Aku senang kau di sini denganku,” pikir gadis itu, namun ia tak bisa tersenyum.
Ketika gadis es itu menyentuh hangatnya laki-laki itu, ia meleleh menjadi air. Lalu ia terbang, kembali ke langit.
Di tanah yang kering bagai neraka yang membara, terdengar suara orang yang bahagia. Beginilah kisah kuno tersebut:
Sang gadis berubah menjadi hujan yang membasahi bumi layaknya berkah dari langit. Di tengah-tengah hujan, laki-laki itu meninggalkan desa. Ia merasa sedih ketika ia tahu gadis itu berubah menjadi hujan. Maka, ia pergi mencari hati milik gadis itu; ia sendirian. “Aku senang kau bicara padaku,” pikir gadis itu, maka ia bersedia menjadi hujan yang membasuh bumi, meski ia tak bisa tersenyum.
Ketika gadis es itu menyentuh hangatnya laki-laki itu, ia meleleh menjadi air. Lalu ia terbang, kembali ke langit.
“Terima kasih telah menyayangiku…” Gadis itu bahagia, karena kini ia menjadi berkat bagi laki-laki itu, maka ia tersenyum Hatinya yang beku meleleh ketika ia merasakan hangatnya laki-laki itu dan laki-laki itu merasa air matanya terasa hangat di pipinya.
