This article assumes you have knowledge of Ciel nosurge and will have unmarked spoilers for that game.Ar nosurge: Ode to an Unborn Star is a 2014 role-playing game for the PlayStation 3, and the sequel to Gust Corporation's 2012 game, Ciel nosurge. These two games form the Surge Concerto series, a distant prequel to Gust's Ar tonelico games. Together, the two series make up the EXA_PICO universe.Thousands of years after Ra Ciela's destruction, its people are still struggling to survive on the Migratory Starship Soreil. They have lost the ability to use Song Magic, and must face the attacks of hostile beings known as Sharl. The people of Orei, a place within Soreil, have been split into two factions due to the conflict: the Genomirai Church seeks to coexist with the Sharl, while the people of the city of Felion believe that destroying the Sharl is the way to peace. The key to resolution may lie with the Ancients, people who were alive during Ra Ciela's last days and can still make use of Song Magic's power.Ar nosurge's initial Japan release was followed by a September 2014 release in North America and Europe. An Updated Re-release for the PlayStation Vita was released for Japan October of that year and on July 2, 2015 for the US.

Addressing the Player: The characters in the game actually talk directly to you, facing the screen, in two of the most heartwarming moments of the series. It's also the main shtick of the game when playing as Earthes.

Does This Remind You of Anything?: The sounds the heroine lets out during purification certainly do. Get Cass or Ion personality to "Masochist" and their in-battle quotes will reflect this with such lines as: "Please, I don't want you to stop!", "We're going to continue?... All right, let's do it." and who could forget "Hard and fast, right?"

comment
All There in the Manual: The "incident" with Delta six months prior to the game is only covered in the choose-you-own-adventure text novel "Class Ar-Nosurge-Proto" that was published in Gust's Genomirai.com promotional site. It's been fantranslated though. Additionally, the story of how Ion came to that universe was covered in a two-part light novel set in her Earth before she was summoned to Ra Ciela. It also curiously features the name of Nero's world and the name of the person who hacked the Interdimend to almost kill her, which could be Player 2: they are respectively "Flayjha" and "Arytha Tyrijha".

Bag of Sharing: Referenced in-game. Characters in one party will magically find items in their bag that weren't there before. Characters in the other party will complain about those items suddenly going missing. After they figure out what's going on, they actually use this knowledge to solve problems that would be otherwise unsolvable.

Breaking the Fourth Wall: A literal example at the end of Phase 2. Earthes gets destroyed and Delta uninstalls Interdimend, causing the program to crash, resulting in FATAL ERROR messages covering the screen and culminating with a Red Screen of Death that's unique to this game and Ciel nosurge. The game then skips directly to after Earthes is rebuilt as you have no other link to Exa Pico's universe than the two of them.

Chekhov's Boomerang: The Avatar Core/Earthes's head comes in handy quite a few times. It has a port that allows the characters to connect to multiple systems they couldn't access otherwise, after it gets stolen by Nero and Prim Zapping to it allows you to spy on their plan, and it is ultimately given to Tattoria so he can use the rare parts in it for his medicine research which eventually becomes successful.

comment
Cordon Bleugh Chef: Nay's cooking is a weird variation, her foods range from barely edible with bad side effects to edible but not for humans due to her just mixing stuff together without caring how it tastes. Her ultimate recipe is a pretty okay side dish... that somehow requires an item that can transfer items between dimensions. Delta is a questionable case. Before the game starts, his sole dish is called Chazen Fried Rice. It's steamed rice sprinkled with salt. He makes a version 2 during the game... only adding pepper.

Bilingual Bonus: Delta calls Nay "Nay-san", which sounds exactly like "Onee-san": older sister. It fits her because Nay insists on being such a figure despite her stature; and Delta actually still sees her as one anyway. In fact, she's also older. Becomes a Fridge Brilliance as Nay actually adopted her name from the current Ion's real name, who has a little sister back at Earth.

Adam Smith Hates Your Guts: Averted. Mysteriously, the price of items do not necessarily correspond to its utility: One of the best healing items in the mid-game, which heals for 1000 HP and restores barrier levels, is sold at half the price of another item which only restores 250 HP. This may be due to the fact that the former is medicine and the latter is a cat-shaped meal.

Older Than They Look: Just about everyone. That white-haired girl in the page picture? She's over 20 years old. Justified due to the effects of being turned into an Incarnate: a human-shaped Genom, so they can use Song Magic and it stops their aging, and is the reason why Sarly and Cass look so young. Nay's early teens look is because she was the very first Sharl ever created, and they don't age either. Most other characters look their age (though Delta is surprisingly clean-shaven... unlike Shirotaka), cryostasis for thousands of years nonwithstanding.

Official Couple: Probably the biggest difference between this game and the Ar Tonelico games. No girlfriend-picking here, it's Delta/Casty and Ion/Earthes (and Sarly/Shirotaka) all the way. There is a special ending where you can use Interdimend to enforce Delta/Shurelia instead but it's pure What the Hell, Player? material.

You ALL Look Familiar: Due to the limited amount of NPC and enemy models used in the game. One of the side-effects of the game team getting a lower budget from Gust in comparison to the one given to the one working in the Atelier games.

Some of the items Sarly makes are even beyond lethal, such as a scale model of the Soreil that transmits everything you do to it to the actual ship. Sadly, it's not usable in combat.

Musical Nod
 Ar nosurge: Ode to an Unborn Star (Video Game) / int_3e24cb38
comment
Musical Nod: Ar tonelico: Melody of Elemia songs (namely Green Lands, Ancient Memories and AT Inside ~Anomaly~) make their return when the road to Ar Ciel, the planet said game takes place on, is opened. In the same context they were first used for, at that (world map, outside and inside of the First Tower respectively). In addition, the opening song (To The Songless Hill ~Harmonics Pre-Ciel~) actually takes parts from Ciel nosurge's first and last songs (To The Songless Hill and Ra Ciel Fuser), as well as having the same exact opening chorus lines used in the Ar tonelico: Melody of Elemia opening theme (Singing Hill ~Harmonics EOLIA~), in another language. One of Ar Ciel's locations is Shelanoir's Forest, a mythical location previously talked about in song by Akiko Shikata. Ar nosurge is the first time the place is actually seen, as by the time of the Ar Tonelico trilogy it has long been reduced to an enormous crater filled with magma due to the Seven Bloodstains Incident. The music in the area (The Color-Carrying Wind) was also explicitly been said to be based off from the song where the forest's story was first told.

Deus ex Machina
 Ar nosurge: Ode to an Unborn Star (Video Game) / int_3fca462c
comment
Deus ex Machina: The pathway to Ion's true ending comes as sudden and without build up or context, as Ion herself had already resigned her life to stay in Ra Ciela because the only known way back requires the sacrifices of many people. Said Deus ex Machina lies in Ayatane's "Reincarnation" recipe that allows the party to bring Prim's soul back to the living world, with next to no indication about such a function. And the real reason for Prim's prequisite for said ending was because the other Interdimend player had a way to return Ion and Nero (Ulyliyha) back to their original dimension that he doesn't bother to disclose, let alone attempted, as he assumed that the Soreil won't make it to the center of the universe. This method involves singing with EXA_PICO. Even then, such a solution comes out of nowhere to resolve a conflict at the tail end of the story. That said, it's better than the non-canonical alternative of having Nei remain dead in her original world and causing endless grief and guilt to her family, especially her younger sister Aya.

But Thou Must!: When you first start Ion/Earthes's (Avatar's) story, Ion will ask a series of questions to Avatar. The final one is a request and Avatar must accept it to continue, things will just be stuck if you just keep refusing it. As an added twist, however, you actually should refuse it the first time in order to receive a Trophy - "I Refuse." (Description: "Heartlessly refused Ion's request.")

Just Add Water: A large part of the items you can get from crafting are born of pure insanity and definitely not what you put in the recipe. Especially plugins, most of which appear to be "I stuck a CPU and [random thing ranging from a figure of a hot woman to an overgrown amoeba to cream soda] together and for some reason it works better now". The characters are aware of this, and it is played for laughs.

Really 700 Years Old: All the cast members returning from Ciel nosurge, excepting Ion and Nero, have been in cryostasis for five thousand years. They're actually called Ancients by the rest of Soreil's inhabitants. And Nero herself has been around for around 10000 years prior to the events of the game, though she spent over 5000 of them as a roaming soul, while like Ion, she skipped over the other half using Song Magic.

As you go deeper into Ion's Genometrics, she repeatedly calls you out for merely being "someone on the other side of a screen pressing buttons" and treating it as some sort of game. This culminates in her giving you a quiz of questions about Ion's personal life you can't possibly know the answer to, except through repeating the quiz over and over until you get them right. After finally getting them right, she calls you out for Save Scumming.

On the other hand, it is amusing to note that Ciel nosurge to Ar Nosurge is actually a total aversion : Ion's story starts maybe five minutes after Ciel ended, as said game ended on Ion unplugging your communicator to mount it on the robot body that would later be known as Earthes, and Ar starts with her rebooting it after it's done.

From Beyond the Fourth Wall
 Ar nosurge: Ode to an Unborn Star (Video Game) / int_62453cf7
comment
From Beyond the Fourth Wall: Played with: While the characters do not act like they are in a videogame, the robot Earthes is a terminal being controlled by "someone from the seventh dimension" (the player). The characters in-game interact with you as such. Earthes only communicates through dialog prompts, the options you choose are beamed directly into the character's minds. As the story goes on, the game gets increasingly meta with this. Deconstructed: Eventually, dialog prompts appear on the Delta side as well, often causing him to blurt out random lines that have nothing to do with what's currently happening. It is eventually revealed that Delta's memory loss is caused by being constantly under control of another being. The prolonged connection is also causing him to lose his own senses such as sight and feeling. Needless to say, neither Delta nor Cass are very amused by the notion that his every move is subject to the whim of some unseen being. As you go deeper into Ion's Genometrics, she repeatedly calls you out for merely being "someone on the other side of a screen pressing buttons" and treating it as some sort of game. This culminates in her giving you a quiz of questions about Ion's personal life you can't possibly know the answer to, except through repeating the quiz over and over until you get them right. After finally getting them right, she calls you out for Save Scumming. Following the above are a series of dialog choices where you can reassure her that you care for her despite her assertions being technically true, and that it's not just a game to you. Some savvy players might consider the implications of going down this road, however: In the end, it really is just a game, and while you might care for your characters, it's hard to see them as real people. Late in the game it is revealed that Prim is also being controlled through Interdimend. Said "other player" has no value for the in-game characters at all and appears to be merely interested in 100% Completion, and is willing to sacrifice everyone on the Soreil to do so. They also express their envy of you having access to two channels. Reconstructed: Delta eventually willingly reconnects himself to Interdimend, acknowledging that the third-person perspective is immensely useful in the challenges to come, intending to disconnect again once they accomplish their goal. He then proceeds to make gratuitous use of the fact that the player has access to both his and Earthes' channels. Characters also come to appreciate the player for having their best interests at heart. You eventually get to thwart the "other player's" plan, preventing them from "beating the game". Instead, you are the one who both gets to beat the game AND save the world. Whether this is because you actually care for the characters, because this is the only route available to you, or just because it's much more fun to be the good guy, is up to you. Also, it's been stated that the ship takes energy from the PS3 of every player that's playing the game. Any song with the word NOSURGE in it takes power from the dimension they're connected to, which is the reason why Ion didn't die after making humongous amounts of Sharl, when Delta was on the verge of passing out after making a single Dream Genom.

Gameplay and Story Segregation
 Ar nosurge: Ode to an Unborn Star (Video Game) / int_6320eced
comment
Gameplay and Story Segregation: The Main Characters' objective of coexistence with the Sharl certainly doesn't get in the way of them killing droves upon droves of Sharl enemies. The Doylist reason is the game doesn't have any other enemy models to use.

Putting the Band Back Together: Ion's goal to find and gather the Seven, who were most of her old friends from the time of Ciel nosurge. The problem being, while Delta, Cass, Nay and Sarly are still together, Kanon is at war with them and Shirotaka and Renall are MIA. Both of them were eventually found in the Hymnesphere, away from the Soreil.

Quite a number. All the Sharl monsters are costumed as such, as is Sarly, and Cass's alternate costumes are this too. One starts to wonder if this is ntny's fetish.

Brought Down to Normal: Ion can no longer use her Oversight ability because it has been "dulled" by additional connections, such as Earthes' port. In fact, after waking up and before reuniting with Earthes, she can't even cast song magic.

Fighting Your Friend: Differences of ideals and opinion regarding the current conflict (Delta wants to destroy the Sharls while Ion prefers a diplomatic approach) and on what course of action to take Delta wants to bring Prim back to Felion while Ion asks them to accompany her in an attempt to persuade Kanon. forces a boss fight between the two of them, with Cass reluctantly siding with Delta. Regardless of which channel the player chooses, it ends with Cass unintentionally blowing Ion and Earthes away from the platform.

Guide Dang It!: Good luck finishing Ion's Genometrics the first time you get it. It's impossible until you finish two other characters' genometrics, and then you have to dive in Cass's genometrics to complete the fourth test. This is on top of the first stage, which throws no less than three red herrings your way. Nelico even lampshades that you won't be able to complete it until you've visited other Genometrics if you see the optional event in the Junkyard area, and Heart of Light gives you a hint about what the fourth test is about if you try to defeat him at the very end of the Genometrics startup sequence.

Another Dimension: Ion comes from none other than our own planet, Earth. Nero also counts, having come from a completely different universe that isn't ours or Exa Pico's. Though if the player gets the normal ending on the Earthes side, Ion will ultimately decide to stay in the reborn Ra Ciela, and she and Nero will craft and have Cass sing Ar-ciel ar-manaf to naturalize her and Nero's souls to the universe, giving up their connection to their original universes, as well as any possibility of returning to them, and their Oversight ability in the process. Needless to say, this also becomes Fridge Horror upon learning exactly how Ion and Nero ended up in Ra Ciela and their early experiences there. Doubly in Ion's case as revealed in one of the light novels, as she was assaulted and left at the brink of death, so she had pretty much to let her soul be taken to Ra Ciela as a very improbable gamble for her to remain alive.

You eventually get to thwart the "other player's" plan, preventing them from "beating the game". Instead, you are the one who both gets to beat the game AND save the world. Whether this is because you actually care for the characters, because this is the only route available to you, or just because it's much more fun to be the good guy, is up to you.

What the Hell, Player?: Lots of responses the Player can make lead to the characters telling them off for being a creep or a jerk. These ranging form sexual harassment, to creepy as hell sexual harassment, to screwing Delta's life, to actions that leads to the death of Ion and the others just for laughs. Not the mention the utter betrayal of Ion's trust and love.

Late in the game it is revealed that Prim is also being controlled through Interdimend. Said "other player" has no value for the in-game characters at all and appears to be merely interested in 100% Completion, and is willing to sacrifice everyone on the Soreil to do so. They also express their envy of you having access to two channels.

She Is Not My Girlfriend: Delta and Cass are susceptible to this, even after having passionately declared their love for each other multiple times. That said, the problem is not that they're in denial about the fact that they're lovers, but that they're not used to suddenly defining themselves as such because as far as they're concerned they've always been extremely close since childhood and nothing has really changed about their relationship.

Giant Space Flea from Nowhere
 Ar nosurge: Ode to an Unborn Star (Video Game) / int_902fa0b4
comment
Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: The Final Boss is the entire Soreil turned into a Humongous Mecha, an ability that's never actually been seen before (Renall and Sarly's respective accesses to the ship's security system only unlocked beams and missiles respectively). This is justified because the other player used a REON-4213 command to link up the Soreil with Prim, and through it, it fused the remains of the Maternal Overseer with the ship to get an easier time forcing Ion to fuse with it, as well as ridding of anyone who could disrupt their plans. Too bad (for them) they forgot about Earthes, Delta and Cass.

 Ar nosurge: Ode to an Unborn Star (Video Game) / int_994928f9

Crapsack World: The humans live a miserable existence fighting hostile lifeforms called Sharls and a human faction that supports the Sharl aboard a Colony Ship with no set destination in mind after the destruction of their previous planet. By the time the game starts, Felion is the only remaining human territory and they still haven't found a planet to settle in. Outer areas that the Sharl inhabit on the other hand, have created a faux-planet that is a far more inhabitable place than the Inner Areas that the humans live, but at the expense of the kidnapped humans being used as fertilizer to create such an environment in the first place.

Amazing Technicolor Battlefield: The final battle, of course. Justified for once : it takes place on the Singing Hill, which is in outer space, as Ra Ciel Reincarnation rebuilds the world of Ra Ciela. The swirling mass of energy in the background slowly turns into a full blown planet as the fight goes on.

BGM Override: Song magic music doesn't play in major boss fights. There was also that one time in the Hymnesphere when you had to stop the place from self-destructing. Also applies for when Kanon begins singing "yal fii-ne noh-iar;", which overrides most of the music in Delta's side until she is defeated.

Karma Houdini: YMMV on whether Nelo is this, but the other 7th Dimension player definitely counts. Specifically, Nelo killed many innocent people and was willing to destroy the entire universe just so she could go home. In the end, not only did she get to home but nobody in the game puts much blame on her at all, treating her more like a victim than villain. Guess screwing and killing innocent people to get what you want really does pay off? Ironically, Neptool also did a similar thing as Nelo, but arguably for a nobler cause (to save his daughter's life), but not only did he die, the very daughter he sacrificed everything to save saw him more as a villain for what he did. She hardly saw him as father, opting more for Dr. Clacket, a scientist she barely knew but shared her interests and showed more intimate fatherly concern for her.

Neither side makes a concerted effort to explain their position to the other; the Sharl because they really have no idea of what's going on (and because their leader believes the humans will not agree), the humans because to them, the Sharl attacked first - they're just defending themselves.

Mundane Made Awesome: Nay's ultimate recipe, which makes the item you need for the true ending, gives you none other than... a very expensive meat and potato stew. Even Nay herself is bewildered.

Schmuck Bait: Tattoria synthesizes two for you - Maze Bread (a poisonous cookie that can have its poison neutralized by solving the maze on its top... somehow), and Sharanoir Tea (an item which he admits came about because he nearly drowned, and just barely managed to save himself). Using either will take chunks out of your health in exchange for buffs. The tea is notorious because it sacrifices all of your health.

World Half Empty: Perhaps unexpectedly so. Behind the cheer and humor, humanity is actually stuck in a spaceship roaming deep space, locked in a struggle against mysterious beings who kidnap their loved ones. Those who are taken never return, so they might as well be considered dead; diseases cause entire sections to be locked down; and what remains of humanity is divided between a religious sect that worships the sharl and a militant force which opposes them to the death.

Lethal Joke Item: Every item you make in synthesis. When Nay finally makes something that does look normal, Cass and Delta remark that something's off about it. Some of the items Sarly makes are even beyond lethal, such as a scale model of the Soreil that transmits everything you do to it to the actual ship. Sadly, it's not usable in combat.

Decoy Protagonist: Delta is a minor case of this. At first, he appears to be the main character. But besides the whole "controlled by the player" thing, the game suddenly switches to Earthes at a climatic point in the Delta plotline. There's also a distinct difference in how Delta and Earthes are treated as player characters; Earthes is actually being directly controlled by the player, as the player, while Delta is being "controlled" by the player via Interdimend and is very much his own distinct person, regardless of whether or not he's currently being used by the player.

Star-Crossed Lovers
 Ar nosurge: Ode to an Unborn Star (Video Game) / int_e596f27b
comment
Star-Crossed Lovers: Ion and Earthes could qualify as one if your relationship with her gets deep enough, due to the simple fact that she is from a different world than yours. It is possible for the player to marry her in this game (in Genometrics, at least) or Ciel Nosurge (the latter even have a marriage oath beyond the Seven Dimensions, courtesy of Nelico). However, at the end of Ciel Nosurge, Ion had to disconnect the Interdimend terminal to transfer it to Earthes avatar, possibly unable to reconnect to the same person again, or worse, ended up connecting to a player that doesn't appreciate Ion as much as the player from Ciel Nosurge does. The Ar Nosurge OS has a built-in interaction limiter for a reason. While it is possible for her to reconnect the terminal to the same player via the Sekai Link in the Japanese version, the Interdimend will be cut off again at the end of the game, separating you for good regardless whether she stays in the reborn Ra Ciela or returns to Earth, as she lives in a different collective axis than the player's Earth. This can be downplayed somewhat in the Japanese version as you can get one of three possible voicemails from Yuuki Nei after clearing both games, but unlocking the best of these voicemails requires you to be marry her back in Ciel Nosurge in the first place.

Diegetic Interface: The primary trope used. The player is technically an overseer of the worlds, the entire interface is used as if it were logging into an OS like Windows, and the player controls an avatar (literal name according to the menu before being called "Earthes"). Of course, this ends up getting pulled to it's own ends in the game, as explained under From Beyond the Fourth Wall, and leaves the game with a thin sheet of glass as a fourth wall.

You Bastard!: The game doesn't pull any punches on you essentially body jacking Delta regardless of your reasons, Ion's penultimate Genometrics blames you for treating this as a game and only wanting to advance. In a minor degree, Nelico's Genometrics also calls out the Ciel nosurge players who never bothered playing the game to the end: the player ends up being abandoned by Ion halfway during the roleplay sessions in which they exchanged roles, and when they tell the Sharl Ar Cielno that Ion would never abandon them, she replies back that there were many parallel worlds in which Ion herself said these same words but the player she was connected to never came back and left her alone, trapped in her Genometrics forever. Unfortunately, due to poor wording, it ends up making it look like Ion has been going around with all other players, which is actually impossible because each player connects to a different possibility of Ion, and no two players will connect to the same version of her (the Sharls are the only ones that have awareness about the parallel worlds due to their connections with each other and the Micro Quasar.)

The teachings are unquestionable, with Cosal even attacking and abandoning Kanon for questioning what they were doing to the humans, despite how devoted Kanon is to him and his teachings in general. Zill may also count. She was raised by very conservative parents of the Chimon faction and believe that the Genom are superior to humans, among other beliefs. This leads to her having so really loony ideas.

The Very Definitely Final Dungeon: If the number of enemies don't alert you to this, it also has a floating giant ring on the background, it consists of one long flight of stairs, and it's in space. It's not that different from any other dungeon in actual design, but still.

The Power of Friendship: As expected, this is how they solve the core problem: by creating a planet with Song Magic borne out of the Seven's wishes.

Comically Missing the Point: Every post-synthesis has one person doing this. Tattoria is confused by Ion's and Vio's reactions at his new creation, which is an aphrodisiac. He thinks it's supposed to increase your attack power by exciting you.

Cruelty Is the Only Option

Cruelty Is the Only Option: To Delta. You don't have the ability to just let Delta disconnect. One option is foreshadowing; the other's just cruel. The Vita version gives you the option to at least plead with him not to do it in a nicer tone, but it doesn't help.
