Description

Taking place in the desolate land of Metafalss, a tiny continent built upon the rim of a tower much like the first game's Ar tonelico, it revolves around two opposed factions: the ruling Grand Bell, which has recently declared war against the Goddess Frelia; and the Sacred Army, who believe that the Goddess enables Metafalss to exist. This ire against the Goddess stems from a failure centuries past at creating Metafalica, a paradise-like land spoken of in legend, which was interrupted by a vicious attack by her defenders. In addition to civil war, Metafalss is ravaged by outbreaks of I.P.D, a Reyvateil-specific disease which causes the victim to execute song magic uncontrollably and do much damage to herself and her surroundings.

Protagonist Croix Bartel, a knight of the Grand Bell, is regularly tasked with stopping the harm done by those afflicted. It is while on a mission to contain one such outbreak that Croix, together with his adopted sister Cocona, is put in quite a different situation. The Holy Maiden Cloche, the Reyvateil who leads the Grand Bell in the war, has come under attack by the Sacred Army. He is soon entrusted with protecting her while they escape. While attempting to hide from the Sacred Army, they encounter Luca, another Reyvateil who has known Croix since childhood.

Croix is soon to discover that neither the Grand Bell nor the Sacred Army are what they seem- and nor are Cloche or Luca. Unable to trust anyone except each other (and sometimes not even that), he and his companions struggle along their own path to thwart those who would manipulate them, discover the truth about the Goddess Frelia, and achieve the seven hundred year old dream of Metafalica.

[From TVTropes]

Like its prequel, Ar tonelico II features the Dive System, in which you can enter a Reyvateil's mind to help them with their inner doubts in visual novel-style sequences and by doing so unlock more powerful Song Magic. Diving is now more closely tied to the main storyline, and completing more than half of a Reyvateil's cosmosphere will require you to 'commit' to them and their ending.

Other new mechanics include Dualstall, in which the Reyvateils take baths together to increase their power; Bath Talk Topics, which occur during Dualstall and make the various Reyvateils fight more confidently alongside each other; and Infelsphere, a dreamlike realm closely linked to the plot in which the heroines deepen their bond with one another in VN-style sequences.

Description

Likes: Playing with lyre, Soope
Dislikes: Trashy people

A young woman who works as a ranger in a forest and an adventurer. She encounters Croix and his friends in a forest and starts to travel with them. She always takes Soope with her. He's been with her for as long as he can remember.
She works as a professional lyre player, as well as a ranger. Her lyre is also a versatile weapon: it can become a sword and a bow in battle. Where she is from is unknown. Due to her darker skin, some believe she is a Teru, but she doesn't have a tail or horns, the symbolical physical features of the Teru, so it seems quite certain that she is a human.

Description

Likes: Gergo, ugly-cute creatures, Kurukuru dumplings, Pippen, fruit waffles
Dislikes: Grotesque things, horror movies, excessively sweet foods
Singer: Akiko Shikata

Said to be the "Most Valuable Life" in the world of Metalfalss. The stateswoman who represents the Grand Bell. She is also a Reyvateil.
Behind the 33rd Holy Maiden, she is an extremely charismatic idol and superstar among all people who support the Grand Bell.
She is especially popular of all the Holy Maidens in Metalfalss' history. Her speeches are very energetic, and she empowered the people with her eloquence in this stagnant phase in human history, so she has gained enormous popularity.
However, because she was raised in the Palace and has hardly gone out, she's socially ignorant and a bit awkward around people. That is probably why she is usually pompous and sometimes even intimidating.

Description

Likes: Basking the sun in the Virtual World
Dislikes: Having to do customer service for Luca

Luca's mind guardian. She refers to herself as her "agent". Because Luca is a Dive Therapist and her "customers" come into the world where Goro lives, she has to take care of them. Because of her cute appearance and contrasting voice, most customers remember her name.
In that sense, she is a celebrity, whether she likes it or not. She's normally a smiling, cheerful, and cute girl, just like Luca. You can see Luca's strong desires in the big gem that she always rides on.

Always cheerful and amicable, she is a childhood friend of Croix, who lived together until he moved to Pastalia. Now she is Croix's girlfriend, and people think they make a good couple. She works in Rakshek as a Dive Therapist using her Reyvateil abilities.
Even though some people hold negative connotations for this occupation, she's proud of what she does. She likes to heal people's mental wounds. She is popular among her customers and other people because of her agreeable personality. However, she seems to harbor a lot of secrets under her cheerful exterior, proving to be rather pessimistic and angry at times. Her Japanese surname "waath" means "revive" in Hymmnos language.

Description

Likes: Fencing, dignity and traditions of his royal family
Dislikes: The current government

The charismatic leader of the Sacred Army, and the Alfman Regime's rival force. He is actually the purest-blood heir of the Pope, who used to control the world before Alfman's coup. He is also Croix's childhood friend.
Very prideful. He ruthlessly eliminates whoever defiles the Royal Family. His love for old traditions that his clan has long preserved is behind his angers and ruthlessness to traitors.
His dream is to regain the throne and the Pope's Regime. For this purpose, he and Chester established the Sacred Army.

Description

Cocona is Croix Bartel's adopted little sister. She gets along with him quite well (lovingly calling him him "Cro") though thay are not related by blood, she is actually a Reyvateil herself, but she has not yet matured and is unable to use Song Magic fully. However, she is able to craft a little fireball in combat, showing that she can at least command the most basic Song Magic that all Reyvateils can use. She fights using an special hair ornament, which can turn into a double-bladed baton. This weapon idea was originally created by Croix for her.
