Ar tonelico 2: Melody of Metaflica, like its predecessor, primarily follows the traditional Japanese role-playing game formula but incorporates a dating simulation and an extensive customizing system to keep you busy for hours. Not only that, but the way the story is presented is even more bizarre than what you’d expect. Its tantalizing opening sequence with colorful anime characters–more specifically, cute girls about to lock lips–will leave you puzzled, or perhaps thirsty for more.
GameSpot was only able to scratch the surface of this peculiar RPG that is riddled with innuendos, but from what they have seen, there’s a lot of content to go through, and dedicated fans will appreciate the new additions.
