Ar Tonelico II - METHOD_METAFALICA/. with Lyrics

This is the hymmnos that Cloche sings as part of Metafalica. All of her hymmnos songs start with METHOD and all of Luca's start with EXEC. Anyways, this was really hard to time as the lyrics are all jumbled and hard to understand, which is why it took a while to complete. This is one of my favorite songs from Ar Tonelico II, more so than Luca's version of Metafalica and when they sing together.

**Fun fact: Cloche means "bell" in French**

ok, I don't care if its a stupid question or not, but I have to ask.

Does Hymmnos characters exist in real life?

[MyraSlokov]

Not that I'm aware of.. I think it's just for the game. I think it's like Crest/Banner of the Stars (anime show) where they have the Abh language but it isn't used outside the show.

@MyraSlokov That's not quite true. There are a large number of people that are learning Hymnos so that it can be spoken RL. I've also found out that at people with Autism are learning the language, too.

[MyraSlokov]

@missdeona That's really interesting! =)

And try going to artonelico isisview. That is where the new Ar tonelico forums are located (together with revisions to the translation that are in your source). :)

[MyraSlokov]

You're a genius! Thanks ^_^

[akito989]

It's Cloche because in Japanese, L doesn't exist... I think Cloche is better. Croche is like... crotch.

...Don't mind me...

@necronzero

Fun fact: Yes it is, just as Chroah's name is 'Croix'. NISA did a shitty job, but they at least got Cloche/Chroche/Kuroshe's name right.

If it's not Cloche, then what is it?

[Frostfire613]

@Brrocklon OHHHH!!!!! Thanks for the explanation, it makes so much more sense now!

[Brrocklon]

@Frostfire613 if you know what is that song for the lyrics makes more sense; at Ar Tonelico world, songs are used as magic and technology and can do nearly anything. Metafalica is a song created in the continent of Metafalss to "create land". Metafalss is a very small and arid continent were its inhabitants were starving, with problems of super population and etc, so a girl named Infel crafted a two-parts song called Metafalica, that when sung should create a new, more fertile, continent.

@LevaniaDaemon I do too, and I learned standard Hymmnos pretty quickly. I even made up my own language (Saeryennis) which has some words from other languages (one German, a few Japanese, a couple Latin and a few Hymmnos) but mostly it is comprised of words I made up on my own (like "katre" which means "happiness").

[Frostfire613]

I don't really get the meaning to the song. So the world is saved by a song that brings life? is that it? sorry i never really played the games i just like the music since my bro introduced them to me :/

[MasterFreezer]

hearing this again really makes me sad that i gone with Jacqli back then...Of course Jacqli is great too^^

[Slickdown]

The game's too easy but DAMN the music is great

[amitabho123]

@LadyHermes Which sentence, lol?

[LadyHermes]

@amitabho123 Makes me smile realizing that your last sentence is obviously way more complicated than a lot of Hymmnos ones.

Did it on purpose, didn't you ? ^^

This song btw is nearly perfect to my ears, like many pieces of Ar tonelico's OST !

[mamaluigi4293]

What an amazing voice.
