What is your favorite song from the Ar series?

[vampko]

That's a nice one, vampko. I tend to forget the songs I don't listen to as often as others. A troublesome malady since the AT tunes are altogether brilliant. I forgot to put Implanta on that list. Not only is the song a stirring encounter, but the meaning is just as pleasant.

That's why I have a giant playlist of all the songs I like, called 'bestofthecrop' which is always on shuffle. And then I have a bunch of other playlists for different things. Like how I have a GUST playlist, a Tales playlist, and so on and so forth. I don't really choose to listen to a specific song very often, I just let chance decide for me ~

And, when I heard this song is just moved me more than any of the other songs. I was actually kind of glad she didn't sing hymnnos. I do think hymnnos are REALLY beautiful, but this song just blew me away, and it's nice to hear a folkish and really lively song for once in a game with so many dramatic/sad melody's

If we're looking for stuff like that then this springy, hippity-hoppity affair works for me, too. Not as good as yours, but still a nice change.

I usually have my favorite hymmnos going all on one playlist. Unfortunately, friggin' PSP doesn't support .flac, which is half of my library. So things like the Harmonia album or the Atelier Vocal Historia don't work.

Although that song it's that way just because Shimotsuki made it. After all, all of her albums have at least one song with the same exact folk style.

I'm not sure why you're pointing this out. But, either way, it really doesn't matter, because it was pretty much the only song on the game with that kind of feel. And we were asked which Ar song we liked the best. Of course, I haven't played through Qoga yet, so I am a bit limited on my perspective. I may find a better song in Qoga possibly.

Oh god.. I need this song...

mild spoilers, intro of the Island of Elemia DLC

[JerichoDeath]

I gotta go with:

METHOD_REPLEKIA/.
EXEC_SPHILIA/.
EXEC_HARMONIOUS_FUSION/.
EXEC_DESPEDIA/.

However, I haven't played the third in the series quite yet. So, this may change~

QUESTION (completely unrelated): On Random Chat (since that's the only place it is allowed) we are running a forum game known as 'Mafia'. We have someone who signed up that unexpected things happened, and he needs a replacement. The thread is here
It's really fun, and if you wish to know the rules, shoot me, or anyone else on that thread a PM and we will let you know what we can about it.

Thanks for your time ~

Why did I post this quote instead of typing something for myself? Cause I'm lazy, as well as occasionally stupid.

[Justice Prinny!]

Well, I just played Qoga and I have Tonelico II but I'll play it when I get a PS2 again, so far my favorites songs are:

EXEC_FLIP_ARPHAGE/.

EXEC_REBIRTHIA=PROTOCOL/.

EXEC_COSMOFLIPS/. <----- The best one in my opinion

METHOD_HYMMELI/. <----- Love this one so much! The intro drums are amazing!
(Co-co-nut! Co-co-nut!) xD

[Tykun]

... like many have said before me... picking one song of the entire Ar Tonelico series that tops all is nearly impossible... so... instead of choosing one song from the entire trilogy... I decided to lessen the blow on myself and just pick one song from each installment...

... I know... I know... this isn't exactly following the rules of the topic... but i'm not having it any other way because i'll feel very guilty next time I hear one of the songs I DIDN'T choose as my top... and so... here it is:

Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia - EXEC_PAJA/.#Misya extracting.

Ar Tonelico 2: Melody of Metafalica - EXEC_SPHILIA/.

Ar Tonelico Qoga - EXEC_COSMOFLIPS/.

... it was hard, yes... but I did it... however... I feel that those who made a very close second place in this list need to at least be recognized for their greatness... and those would be:

Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia's EXEC_LINCA/.

Ar Tonelico Qoga's EXEC_REBIRTHIA=PROTOCOL/.

... I nearly almost tied Cosmoflips and Rebirthia=Protocol... but I had to go back to my Zune library and take a peak at how many times both the songs were played... and that seemed to be an easy win for Cosmoflips... = ='' ... I had no idea I was listening to that one so much...

... none of this matters though... the Hymmnos Concert CDs were made of nothing short of sex sauce and win.

[Shizuka]

After listening to almost all songs, EXEC.Z/ is my absolute favorite.

[Obake]

After spending more time with the series, I got it narrowed down to

EXEC_PURGER#Misha_Extracting
Singing Hills ~ Harmonics EOLIA
METHOD_REPLEKIA
EXEC_FLIP_ARPHAGE

with the last 3 in no particular order.

Overall I like the OST from the first game best, followed by Qoga, then the second.

[Rednal]

So, I read the lyrics of EXEX_Z while listening to it.

...

That was probably the creepiest thing I've heard in the series. Particularly the Hymmnos parts. This song just moved up on my list.

[PringlesXD]

EXEC_METEMPSYCHOSIS//.

Yoko's voice is REALLY good during this song.

[Aphrah]

EXEC_FLIP_ARPHAGE and EXEC_Z. Haven't played the first two games but I plan to.

[PringlesXD]

You haven't? You should.

[Aphrah]

I really want to. However, I am no longer in the possesion of a ps2 but my ps3 is fully backwards compatible. That means I'd have to find PAL versions of the games. I have, at around 30eur each.
