|gameinfo          = ''[[Ar tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica]]'', known in [[Japan]] as '''Ar tonelico II Sekai ni Hibiku Shōjo-tachi no Metafalica''' (アルトネリコ2 世界に響く少女たちの創造詩(メタファリカ), literally "''Ar tonelico 2: The Girls' Metafalica that Echoes to the World''", with "Metafalica" meaning "song of creation") is a video game, developed by [[Gust]] for the [[Sony]] [[PlayStation 2]] which was released in Japan on October 25, 2007 and takes place roughly one and a half years after that game's canonical ending. Though superficially similar to ''[[Ar tonelico: Melody of Elemia]]'' in both aesthetics and style, the core game play mechanics of ''Ar tonelico II'' have undergone huge changes from those of its predecessor, most notably in regards to the battle system and the fact that actions within an Infelsphere may now directly affect the storyline.
|gameinfo          = A mysterious epidemic called Infa Pira Dependency (IPD) has been driving Reyvateils insane and killing them at the floating island of Metafalss. Croix, a young knight from the Church of Pastalia, is sent to contain the epidemic. However, many more challenges await, which lead him to unravelling the mysteries of the planet Ar Ciel and seek the legend handed down by the people of Metafalss: the lost Song of Metafalica.<br />
