It's pretty funny because this is the press release from NISA about that game (I keep it on hand because it is terrible):

Quote

About Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia

Ages ago, the world was like any other. But, two apocalyptic wars changed everything. The sky has been sealed off by a deadly electromagnetic field and the ground is now an ocean of death. Humanity lives life peacefully suspended above the sea on continents powered by the magical tower of Ar Tonelico and protected by the knights of Elemia. However, evil is lurking upon humanity threatening the peace and balance of Ar Tonelico.

Key Features

* Moé
* Interactions among characters reveal more depth of each character
* A new and unique "Song" battle system
* Virtual interaction with mood shifting characters -Customizable weapons and items
* Over 300 creatable items
* Stunning animation

What is Moé?

Moé has become one of the most popular words among Japanese "Otaku". Various definitions of Moé have been presented. However, it seems like each individual give different definitions to the word.

Here is what NIS America sees in the word, Moé:

Moé is used when a person expresses his/ her feelings of adoration, admiration, and love toward fictional characters, which are unreachable or unobtainable. Moé is a combined feeling of innocence, purity, and naïve. This feeling is often non-sexual. A good example is if you could remember the feelings of your first love when you were young, those pure and indescribable fluttery feelings. The Japanese Otaku tend to have that innocent love and adoration toward videogame characters, and Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia contains many characters that embody those feelings. Interestingly, each individual may describe Moé differently from others; some might say it is sexual, some might not. NIS America would like to represent Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia as a game that recreates those innocent feelings once again.

I swear to god I did not make this up.
So basically you're all a bunch of perverts because this is pure and innocent and you're taking it the wrong way.

no, this is all entirely intentional, moe is how japanese people justify pedophilia, and that definition of moe is a lie. this game was made so that japanese manchildren in their mid 20s would have a new franchise to jack off to.

there was an 18 year old in a 12 year old's body. it's okay to s...souldive into her because really she's an adult.

I can't believe they listed innuendo as a feature.

yes and its actually a pretty good fighting. the gothic chick and her puppet are fun to use, but incredibly hard to use right. also i think Mildred or whatever is 17 but she's an unplayable boss.

I looked it up on youtube and found some videos from Corel.

I'm not surprised seeing as how he had a hard on for the Disgea artist's stuff for the longest time.

I think it looks pretty cool, for some reason I keep thinking about Namco X Capcom when I look at the scans.

Yay! Random words!

I never heard of this damn "moe" term until recently.
I swear I thought THIS was Moe:

Damn...
But might as well say something in topic?
This game doesn't look good...but then again I don't like Darkstalkers nor RPGs anyways.
And Namco X Capcom sucks because it doesn't have Richard Miller :^)

I'd get this game. Graphics look decent, maybe has some good battles, don't care about the dialog.

Man, not that I even care about bumping or anything, but did you really just dig through the forums to find a two and a half week old topic just to call him a liar or something?

It was on the front page, I was scrolling through... and I was like "fo reals?" then I went to IGN and it wasn't there. And I was like WTF? Maybe it was on another site of somethin'.

I probably did now that you mention it. My mistake! But like . . . I don't know it's not that hard to get the two games confused
