Ar tonelico - Sekai no Owari de Utai Tsuzukeru Shoujo is the original Japanese version of what became known in the West as Ar tonelico: Melody of Elemia, Gust's JRPG -the house behind the Atelier series- that introduced 'Song Magic': songs sung in real time by the Reyvateil, characters whose voice literally casts spells during battle. The music ended up being as much a protagonist as the plot. It's a cult game within PS2 JRPGs, appreciated for an original combat system and a setting that mixes sci-fi and fantasy in an uncommon way. It remains an interesting entry point for anyone looking for JRPGs willing to experiment with their own rules.
