Ciel nosurge: Ushinawareta Hoshi e Sasagu Uta is a 2012 simulation/visual-novel game for the PlayStation Vita, and the first game in Gust Corporation's Surge Concerto series. This series serves as a distant prequel to Gust's Ar tonelico games, though direct connections are not evident right away. Together, the two series make up the EXA PICO universe.Ciel nosurge introduces the player to a girl named Ion, who seems to have no memories of her past and lives in a closed off world where only she and a mysterious shopkeeper called Nelico exist. As the player interacts with her, they help her recover her lost memories while building a close relationship. It is established that the player is a character in their own right, and is directly communicating with Ion.In order to restore her memories, the player has to Dive into Ion's Genometrics (mind), which is divided into a total of twelve doors, each of them representing one of the episodes in the game. Behind the doors, there are places that had a great significance in Ion's life, but the memories related to them are lost due to these places being destroyed and turned into ruins, so the player must scan barcodes with the Vita's camera to extract power from their own world and send it to Ion, who will use it to create fairies called Sharls.While the players can customize the Sharls they create to a certain extent, their purpose is repairing the ruined areas of Ion's Genometrics, allowing the player to watch the memories each particular place holds. Players can also communicate with each other through a complete social network included in the game, which also allows them to share their Sharls and use them not only to repair memories, but also to send energy to a device called the Micro Quasar, which aside of enabling the use of other Sharls aside of the player's own, also has a gauge of its own that gets filled whenever energy is sent to it, and that gives extra rewards to all players whenever it is completely filled. However, due to this the game require near-constant connection to the internet in order to be played.The game is divided into episodes, each of which reveals more of Ion's memories and information about the planet of Ra Ciela. The last episode was released on July 31th, 2014, for a total of twelve. A 2013 Updated Re-release by the name of Ciel nosurge Re:Incarnation contained all the patches, episodes, and DLC that had been released up to that point, and another version called Ciel nosurge Offline, which includes all DLC released for the game and removes all online elements except for the most basic ones related to connecting with Gust's website was released on October 2th, 2014. An RPG sequel, Ar nosurge: Ode to an Unborn Star, followed in 2014.Both Ciel nosurge-exclusive and series-wide tropes may be found here.

Title Drop
 Ciel nosurge (Video Game) / int_18d15922
comment
Title Drop: Or rather, subtitle drop. The event where Ion sings Ra Ciel Fuser to destroy Ra Ciela and convert it into energy is called "The Song Offered to the Planet", and the song itself is called "The Song Offered to the Lost Planet" by the Genometric Concert trailer corresponding to its album. The endgame reveals Ciel Nosurge as one of the Cieln from the Surge Concerto Terminal, sung by the catatonic Ion during the event of Ar nosurge.

Offing the Offspring: Revelt had attempted this on both Ionasal and Renall, with the former having her soul removed as explained above prior to the game, while the latter was to be sacrificed in his own migration to another planet out of spite at her betrayal.

Magic from Technology: Only for the Class-Drive programs and the Cielns (Song Magic invoked through Cielnotrons or the Surge Concerto Terminal). Hymmns are made by synchronizing with a Genom, and thus could be said to come from nature.

Solar CPR: Ra Ciela's sun, Bezel, is dying. The Save Bezel Project hopes to fix that. Except that the only time it was pursued with any real chance of success wouldn't absolve the distortions that were already caused by Nero, not to mention that the flawed transmigration would've thrown Ion's soul beyond the party's reach, preventing them from returning back in time to undo the distortions.

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism
 Ciel nosurge (Video Game) / int_372bc105
comment
Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: The story leans heavily into the cynicism with the conflict between two factions in a nearly dying planet. The two Empress Candidates managed to get along to work towards their ideal, but circumstances that had occurred beyond their control eventually led to the Ra Ciela itself being sacrificed in vain due to the migration being foiled by Nero.

Ludd Was Right
 Ciel nosurge (Video Game) / int_3862fa01
comment
Ludd Was Right: Chimon's stance against the Cielnotrons and the proliferation their rival faction, Tenmon, is doing of them. Sadly enough, it's justified, as the Cielnotrons caused people to lose interest in Synchronizing with the Genoms, and since Genoms need to Synchronize with a human in order to mate, this caused their numbers to sharply decrease. Plus, Renall states during a confrontation with Revelt that he propagated the Cielnotrons in order to exterminate the Genoms due to the great hatred he holds toward them. Additionally, the fact that they are entirely Powered by a Forsaken Child greatly puts a damper on them actually being considered benevolent technology.

comment
Bittersweet Ending: The ending can be changed to a sweeter tone provided you did a Sekai Link with Ar nosurge to get her default costume in it and gotten the Church date spot card. If you fulfill both requirements, you get to go on an extended date with Ion where she reaffirms the bonds she built with you as well as her resolution to stop Nero, and she gains a strong belief in the fact you'll meet again soon. Then you get a very emotional farewell with her before the sequence where she breaks down in tears while the terminal shuts down.

 Ciel nosurge (Video Game) / int_4e3d253b
comment
Downer Ending: Oh boy. Nero attempts once again to possess Ion, and when thwarted by Nay she instead steals the energy of the microquasar to fling herself and Ion into the future, depriving the Ra Cielans of their power source, their link to another planet, their empress, the use of Cielnotrons and by extension their main way of using Song Magic. Nay has to take over as empress despite nobody outside of her friends acknowledging her. They are forced to launch the Soreil early (with Shirotaka staying behind on the Hymnesphere) and the main cast put themselves into hibernation pods, hoping to catch up with Ion 5000 years later. Back in the present Ion found out that there's a very strong chance she'll be unable to reconnect to you after transferring the dimensional link to Earthes's cathode and ends up having to choose between her friends and her love. You persuade her to go to them; the last shot of the game is of her crying in front of the shutting down monitor. Thank god for the sequel.

From Beyond the Fourth Wall: An essential part of the premise is that the player has a direct connection to the EXA_PICO universe, and is really communicating with Ion through a terminal represented by their Playstation Vita. In Ar nosurge, the Main Characters are directly controlled by the player, and the player isn't the only one with this power...

Stealth Prequel: To the Ar tonelico series. The only connection Ciel Nosurge has with the predecessor series is that Ar Ciel was the supposed destination for the Grand Phoenix plan 5770 years* around 2000 years before the epoch of Ammue Dius before the stories from Ar tonelico series began, with the expedition team that are sent there eventually becoming the Teru Tribe.

Another Dimension

comment
Another Dimension: Nero and the current Ion were Ulylihya and Nei Yuuki from their original worlds, respectively. As they are both beings that are summoned from beyond the universe for their Oversight ability, their mere existence had caused the sun to expand until its solar winds overpowers Ra Ciela's magnetic field as deadly wave bursts, turning the planet into the dying world it is now. Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: This is the goal of Quantize for both Ion and Nero, an offshoot organization founded by Clacket specifically for returning both of them to their original universe. Unfortunately, the method to return them dies with Clacket himself near the end of the story, and most of the facilities for that was destroyed along with Ra Ciela by the Grand Phoenix plan, leaving the bloody EXSPHERE_NOSURGE* A song that creates a transdimensional being by sublimating people's souls, effectively killing them and transforming them into a spiritual equivalent of a Microquazar as the only way back. Needless to say, Ion would have none of that.

Living Bodysuit: Happened to Undu at the end of Chapter 7 until the end of Chapter 8, as Nero was (supposedly) returned to her original world, leaving him as the sole consciousness in Nero's leftover body. The disparity between his original form and his current body is lampshaded, as he's actually a 70-years old male Genom in the body of a young girl.

Body Snatcher: Nero, starting with how she took over Ion's body after Nay sang Neptlude during the Neptron's activation tests. She then begins possessing a lot of people throughout Ra Ciela, culminating with Tabou to get herself in contact with Zill. She stops doing this after Zill releases her from the Cielnotron Server, but does it once more to Ion right at the game's finale, ruining the entire planetary migration plan.

After witnessing these memories, Ion ends up suffering from an existential crisis and severe depression where she will refuse to do anything the player asks her, except for reluctantly Diving into the Dream World.

Nero was used to teleport the humans to Ra Ciela 5000 years ago and was killed immediately afterwards.

Time Crash: Happens in chapter eight. Due to Nero causing grave interference in Ra Ciela's timeline just to get Zill to send her back to her world prior to Ion and forcing Clacket to proceed with the sending, the Seven Axis that forms the world gets distorted. Two years later, reality itself begins breaking down, leading the entire world to an apocalypse that requires Nay to sing a Song Magic to return time to two years prior and undo everything Nero did.

Chekhov's Skill: Ion is quite skilled in the field of engineering, and that's before taking her Oversight* which is the manifestation of her potential to look into the higher dimensional axes through her mind, allowing her to utilize the information beyond her own that could lead to her desired future ability into account. Both skills have been quite handy throughout the journey, but special mention has to be given that her tinkering ability is how she managed to repair the terminal that is linked to the video game in our world.

 Ciel nosurge (Video Game) / int_b89d9f13
comment
Assimilation Plot: The purpose of the Save Bezel Project and Zill's main goal : to use the souls of the humans as energy to restore the planet while Genoms inhabit the the now-empty bodies in order to reclaim their rule over Ra Ciela. Zill and Nero attempt to enact it in Chapter 12 but with different goals in mind, the former tries to convert the people of Ra Ciela for energy in order to power Nay's song to reopen the window to the new planet while later tries to create a being called the Overseer in order to guide Nero back to her original dimension.

Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence
 Ciel nosurge (Video Game) / int_bd2812b5
comment
Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: This is the goal of Quantize for both Ion and Nero, an offshoot organization founded by Clacket specifically for returning both of them to their original universe. Unfortunately, the method to return them dies with Clacket himself near the end of the story, and most of the facilities for that was destroyed along with Ra Ciela by the Grand Phoenix plan, leaving the bloody EXSPHERE_NOSURGE* A song that creates a transdimensional being by sublimating people's souls, effectively killing them and transforming them into a spiritual equivalent of a Microquazar as the only way back. Needless to say, Ion would have none of that.

Grand Theft Me: What happened to Nay prior to the game. She was the original Ionasal.kkll.Preciel, but her father Revelt ordered to have her soul removed to give her body to the soul of an Earth girl called Nei Yuuki, which is the Ion we actually get to know outside the Dream World.

Freudian Excuse
 Ciel nosurge (Video Game) / int_c868a42a
comment
Freudian Excuse: The game is really good at this, as most of the antagonists have their own reasons revealed at one point while keeping their Kick the Dog moments inexcusable. Neptool made a deal with Zill to build the Neptron Tower in exchange for the gRNA Virus in order to cure her daughter Sarly from an otherwise incurable genetic disease. To that end, he's willing to cut off the power to Kanon's residence sector and frame Ion for the alleged assassination attempt, and then kidnapping Casty in an attempt to release Reon and make her perform a Grand Theft Me on Ion. Zill was raised in a conservative Genom-centric culture until her family was exiled and ended up falling in love with a Genom who had lost his original body while being synchronized with Nero. In a Love Makes You Crazy fashion, she grew desperate to send Nero back to her original dimension. As if that wasn't enough, she had seen the people going into a frenzied genocide against the Genoms over the alleged cause of the world-ending earthquakes. This revelation sets up the plot that extends all the way to Ar nosurge. Nero was used to teleport the humans to Ra Ciela 5000 years ago and was killed immediately afterwards. Her soul trapped and used to power the Cielnotron Server is the latest of the chain of events that fuels her desperation to return to her original world, regardless of the consequences she may inflict to this one. While Revelt has been atrocious since before the events of the game even began, Revelt he started Jumping Off the Slippery Slope upon Renall's betrayal and the rising popularity of the Empress candidates at his expense.

Video Game Caring Potential: Given how the game is all about keeping Ion company as you help her regain her memories, it's easy to end up getting attached to talking everyday to her, asking her to synthesize or cook items, listening to her bedtime stories and singing, or just hanging around her. To say nothing of the Player Punch that results from seeing her depressed upon the conclusion of Chapter 7 and the heartwarming moment that comes from helping her recover from it.

Despair Event Horizon
 Ciel nosurge (Video Game) / int_dda99fa8
comment
Despair Event Horizon: Ion's depression after completing Chapter 7. Seeing how she got killed at the last memory of that chapter, and how she's effectively imprisoned in a small world where none of her friends exist, she comes to think she's no more than a fake Ion and that most likely she isn't even alive anymore. It takes a good deal of effort from the player to get her back to normal.

Expy: Nero and Zill are similar in characterization to Mir and Infel from the first and second Ar Tonelico games, respectively. Revelt character overlaps with Alfman from Ar Tonelico 2 and Raphael from Ar Tonelico 3, though unlike Alfman, his cause was considerably far less sympathetic.

Video Game Cruelty Potential
 Ciel nosurge (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4
comment
Video Game Cruelty Potential: On the other hand, the game occasionally gives the player to act cold or indifferent toward Ion, and she also becomes extremely sad in the original Online version if you spend too much time without seeing her, both of which affect her mood negatively. But the worst thing is that the game allows the player to divorce Ion after they married her if they pester her enough for her mood to hit rock bottom. The game actually asks the player to confirm if they truly want to go through with the divorce, but needless to say, actually doing it will only make the player feel like a monster, especially if they choose at the end the option saying "I'm never checking the terminal again". But the game also punishes the player if they do this: once they have carried out the divorce, they can never return to being married or even as lovers with Ion, and they automatically lock themselves out from multiple events. The game also permanently changes their relationship status with Ion to "Incombustible Trash".
