looking at the symbols that represent the words of the language they seem a bit overly complicated, hell even Japanese Kanji aren't as complex as these, I'm just assuming these are comparable to overly complicated Gothic lettering, there's probably a simpler form that shorten the size to something close to scrawl, tho I do see some singular letters out of the song, like the O symbol in "whou" and "sor" at 2:35 and 2:37 so maybe its not based on words but letters which would make things easier.
@StudiosSistem Akiko Shikata (who sings all of Misha's, Cloche's and Saki's songs, as well as the opening themes to the AT games) sung the openings to the Umineko anime as well as the first four visual novel episodes.
When I picked my bro's memory card and listened to this song I got depressed because I chose Aurica's route (but on another side, Aurica's route got the marvelous boss fight theme : Loki so..)... Like all other Gust's games, I love their songs but Ar Tonelico's are especially beautiful and unique.
@Kuonluw - not to mention that Aurica has EXEC_LINCA/LINKER...choosing between Chronicle Key and Linker made it hard for me to choose between Aurica and Misha lol..pretty weird
URRRRRRGH BEAUTIFUL VOICE FROM AN EQUALLY BEAUTIFUL REYVATEIL!!! ...seriously, Misha's character design is pretty good. Her mini kimono looking outfit is funky.
It really is a shame that the Ar Tonelico games get looked down upon for being 'fanservice games'. They produce music like this song, which is still the song I consider the most beautiful among game music even considering how long its been since the first game came out.
This is something I can agree with. Although, to be fair, if you look at the second one, and (from what I've seen) the third, there's lots of fanservice. Lots of it.
I do agree, the music is absolutely fantastic, but, especially in the third, there's tons and tons of the stuff. Kinda a pity really. The first game was kinda... flirtatious, I guess. It hints at going there but it really never does. With a certain exception, of course. The later games... they go there. kind of a pity.
@someguyz12 But still have the same level of worldbuilding and musical magnificence that the first one had. Furthermore, the stories and characters in the second and third games leave the first one in the dust.
The music and the worldbuilding are by far my favorite parts of the series. The stories and characters from 2 really good, even if the localization can cause an issue here and there. As for the 3rd game, it's pretty funny, I guess. Despite Qoga being a big tie up, most of the characters (Aoto being a total asshole most of the time for instance) I think 3 isn't as good as 2.
But, no matter which game, all 3 of them have fantastic music. Which is what really matters here, right?
@Mageboobs Those are usually the people who have not given this game a chance or those who do not see the value,meaning,and theme behind it. IMO, AR Tonelico has some of the most bauetiful songs in it, more than half of them made me cry before.
This song is one of the main reasons why misha is my favorite reyvatiel (next to mir) people say she's childish and stupid but could someone so dumb come up with lyrics like this? i feel even more sympathy for her every time i hear this song. she gave up alot of her life to keep the people safe and that is why i will always prefer her to aurica (who i hate)!!
i can see why this is your fav, its probably my fav to actually ^_^ so pretty and powerful. i must have this game!!!!(is it true this games better then the second one, not just cuz of bad translations and the glitch and such)
Not only do I love you forever for making this available to me so that I may sing this heartfelt song, but I am also subscribing to show just HOW MUCH I love you forever <3 <3 <3 You have no idea how long I've been wanting videos like this T__T
Waaaay ahead of you my friend XDD Learned how to write basic hymmnos, pastalia dialect and binasphere from that site : D I know some basic sentences, some full song lyrics and even tried making my own hymns but they're still shabby xDD
@RaddicallDreamer Like what? < _ < I'm talking about the hymns I wrote, not the ones from Ar Tonelico < _ < And I don't see how anything I said so far gives Ar Tonelico a bad name, retard =_=
@SeanAbesto Talking about writing hymnos, pastalia dialect, trying to make your own lyrics, etc etc.. I mean sheesh, kinda weird, dont u think? I know they're not the ones directly from Ar Tonelico, but they're the hymns inspired by the game. I dunno, usually wapanese otaku's like you take all that stuff too far and gives anime in general a bad name. But whatever, whatever makes you happy :)
Um, no offense... but is there really anything wrong with wanting to learn and write your own Hymmnos? It just shows that you have an interest in something. It doesn't make you weird or a wacko otaku. It just means you like it. If he likes it, then that's all that matters. We're all fans of the series and music and I doubt that's going to give Ar Tonelico a bad name, anyway...
Wow o__o Funny you stay stuff like that, when there are a lot more crazy-ass people out in the world : / I'm writing songs in an another language =__= I mean, it's not that weird : / People who pretend to wield lightsabers at the age of 48... THAT'S weird. People who wear alien ears and say stuff like 'Beam me up'... THAT'S weird. Honestly, if you want to argue, bring a better argument to the table =__=
@SeanAbesto Hahaha I dunno, just seems kinda weird, to be writing songs for a language that doesn't exist in real life; a language made for an anime-based video game. It's different and more beneficial to decide to learn a real language, that you could use at some point, u know?
And I never wanted to argue, I just had to say something cuz I thought your hobby was... unique. But like I said, whatever makes you happy! XD
I don't have the money or the time to learn a real language. Hymmnos isn't something people teach you, it's something you research yourself, unlike real languages. Therefore it's slightly easier to learn. And also, what I do with my time doesn't really concern you anyways : / And for someone who never wanted to argue, thumbing down all of my and HaseosAtoli's comments is kinda looking for an argument.
I'm actually kind of impressed that you're learning Hymmnos. As it is, I can only sing Chronical Key and Method Metafalica in the actual language. I'm working on Replekia, but.. >_>;
I only know how to sing Sol=FAGE and Harmonious, but with MyraSlokov 's help, I'd like to learn a lot more~ Hymmnos is actually pretty easy to learn if you're dedicated and you have the right site XDD It takes time, but it's worth it in the end~
Hymmnos really is a mix between languages. In some of the sentence structures, I can definitely see some English and Latin influence. I love METHOD_METAFALICA and this one, but this one is really the only one I could even attempt to sing. And I doubt I'll ever learn Replekia LOL
Lol, there was someone saying they know how to sing Replekia on here... I only really know EXEC_SOL=FAGE/. though~ A few others too :3 It's a fun pass time : D
First of all, a unique user can only thumb's-down a comment once no matter how many times you try, so I couldnt've been the only one. Second, it doesn't cost money to learn a real second language, the majority of spanish I know I didn't have to pay for, I mostly learned myself thru tutorials. But whatever.. you're right, whatever you do in your time is your own business, lol.
People doing things they want to do? That's not weird at all. People judging people negatively because they know what they like, and aren't afraid to show it? -That-is weird.
Pastalia dialect is hard for me to learn. But it's cool that you can learn it. If you aren't busy, I wouldn't mind taking a look at some of your lyrics. ^-^
