Ar tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica, known in Japan as Ar tonelico II: Sekai ni Hibiku Shōjo-tachi no Metafalica[a] is a role-playing video game, developed by Gust for the PlayStation 2 which was released in Japan on October 25, 2007, in North America on January 20, 2009,[1] and was set to be released in the EU on 29 May 2009, but a problem with the barcode delayed it by a week.

[2][4][5] It is the sequel to Ar tonelico: Melody of Elemia, taking place roughly one and a half years after that game's canonical ending.

However, Sol Marta is not a proper Song Magic server, and instead, it serves as a relay for the First Tower of Ar tonelico, which was the setting for the first game.

The region of Metafalss (メタ ファルス, Meta Farusu) surrounds the second Tower of Ar tonelico, which is said to represent the Goddess Frelia of the Trio of Elemia.

There is more transpiring in this region than just the epidemic, however, and one mission will throw him into an adventure to unravel the mysteries of the planet Ar Ciel and seek out a legend handed down by the people of Metafalss: the lost Hymn of Metafalica.

[citation needed] The accuracy of some aspects of the translation is also debated, as approximately half of the Japanese voice overs were removed to make room for the English dubbing.
