Thanks, i whas searching the translations of the songs ^^

[magusgs]

Here's some new background on the Purge system, introducing the Hymma: http://www.rpgfan.com/news/2009/635.html

[Xixato]

Just wondering...how's is the battle system of this game?

[aquagon]

Just chiming in to say that the translations for the At3 songs have been uploaded to the site (look at them only if you don't mind spoilers, because some of them, particularly XaaaCi and Ec Tisia, are spoiler-filled), and also, we have updated the Hymnos conlang page with the discoveries that have been made recently: the Ar Ciela dialect and the Risshi grammar.

[IrisMK]

The top link on the first post doesn't seem to be working for me. If I am right, have you guys already translated the Hymmnos concert CDs from AT3? If that was the link can you maybe repost the link or something. The translations for AT3 Hymmnos Cds would be great. Thanks again for all you translations aquagon!

[aquagon]

Fixed the link to the lyrics and translations.
And while all of the At3 songs have been already translated, I don't advise reading them if you don't want to get spoiled (particularly the lyrics to EXEC_Z/., XaaaCi and Ec Tisia, which are the most spoilerific).

[IrisMK]

Sorry I didn't thank you sooner for fixing that link. My computer got some kind of crazy virus or something.

Anyway, I was wondering, you might have already done this somewhere but do you have translations for the following:

1. Pepen's Song from The Kara Cola Orgel Hymmnos collection
2. Track #31 on Disc 1 of the Japanese Soundtrack of Ar Tonelico Melody of Elemia
3. What is that little phrase they repeat over and over in these songs:
Brave Beat from AT1
Legend of AT2 & the music that plays while you load save data
Legend of AT3 & the music that plays while you load save data in AT3
I always wondered what that little thing meant or was.

I didn't see them in that link anyway.

[aquagon]

1) Is filed under the "Others" songs, together with the remixes for the first two Singing Hills songs.

2) There are no official lyrics for it, but this is what I hear from them:

rre sol sheak yor paul mea,
suwant rre sheak yor, paul li briyante.
You, as the shining sun, are feeling me,
and I want to help you, shining sun, to feel my voice of joy.

3) Again, no official lyrics, but the phrase seems to be "I shall give you endless earth", referring to Mir. And it can also be heard in the At1 tracks "Whispers" and "Praying Voice" (though Praying Voice is no more than the very first part of Brave Beat).

[IrisMK]

Thanks for 1 and 2. I found Pepen's song pretty easily then.

Do you by chance have the Hymmnos or Japanese for that little phrase I mentioned in 3? I also like the way some songs spell out Ar tonelico. That's great. I love it in M-S-G-Y-E-C from AT3. I am assuming the letters (MSGYEC) have something to do with how that phrase is said but I'm unsure. I did get the translation "I shall give you endless earth" though. Thanks. The more I listen to this stuff the more I want AT3 localized. Yay!

[aquagon]

Actually, the phrase in 3 is in English, and I just typed the text as I heard it.

As for the title of M-S-G-Y-E-C, I think it was written in runes, like the first two lines of White Night Illusion (the Atelier Iris 1 opening theme), and analyzing these runes and their meanings, I think this is a possible translation of it:

M S G Y E C

Mannaz Sowilo Geofu Yeraz Ehwaz Kenaz

Man Sun Gift Spring Power Inspiration

The Men Receive from the Sun the Gift of the Season
of Spring, the Gift of Power, and the Gift of Inspiration.

[IrisMK]

I always liked the fact that Ar tonelico was so detailed from the Hymmnos language to the history and storyline of the games. You can tell the game wasn't just slapped together somewhere. Although I think the first one is still my favorite. Who knows about three yet, but it's going to be hard to beat the first.

[aquagon]

Though we have something curious here: if the events of the first Ar tonelico ended in Phase 2, or if the events of Ar tonelico 2 didn't happen, the world would be pretty much doomed,

Spoiler:

Because according to what is revealed in Ar tonelico 3, the Will of Ar Ciel will vanish away on 3775 AD (one year after Ar tonelico 3), which means that the planet and everything living within it will die.

[IrisMK]

I guess that is their way of tying all the games together. Fortunately all that stuff did happen then, right?

For anyone interested here is a higher resolution version of Jakuri's "Jacqli in english version" install port than anywhere else I have yet found
