''Ar tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica,'' or ''Ar tonelico II: Sekai ni Hibiku Shoujo-tachi no Metafalica'' (''The Girls' Metafalica that Resounds throughout the World,'' with Metafalica meaning "Song of Creation"), is, obviously enough, the second game in the ''[[Ar Tonelico]]'' series.
''Ar tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica,'' or ''Ar tonelico II: Sekai ni Hibiku Shoujo-tachi no Metafalica'' (''The Girls' Metafalica that Resounds throughout the World,'' with Metafalica meaning "Song of Creation"), is, obviously enough, the second game in the ''[[Ar tonelico]]'' series.


Taking place in the desolate land of Metafalss, a tiny continent built upon the rim of a tower much like the first game's Ar tonelico, it revolves around two opposed factions: the ruling Grand Bell, which has recently declared [[Rage Against the Heavens|war against the Goddess]] Frelia; and the [[Church Militant|Sacred Army]], who believe that the Goddess enables Metafalss to exist. This ire against the Goddess stems from a failure centuries past at creating Metafalica, a paradise-like land spoken of in legend, which was interrupted by a vicious attack by her defenders. In addition to civil war, Metafalss is ravaged by outbreaks of I.P.D, a Reyvateil-specific disease which causes the victim to execute song magic uncontrollably and do much damage to herself and her surroundings.

** There's also the pun regarding Skycat's name. In the original, she's called Soraneko (while working, anyway), which literally does translate to Skycat. However, Croix mistakenly calling her Seacat loses its humor if you don't know the Japanese equivalent, Umineko, is actually (despite the literal meaning) the term for a type of seagull.
