Ar tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel

Well ladies and gentlemen, it seems as if Ar Tonelico is about to come to a close with a third game. Now, for the most part, 3 is a *bleep*en evil number. More often than not, the average trilogy ends on such a shit note that you're better off pretending that they don't exist. Sadly, I could almost say the same for this game! Ar Tonelico Qoga has a good story, a bad battle system, hit and miss quality graphics, mediocre voice acting, sweet soundtrack and some of the most awkward jokes you'll ever hear.

However, I must be honest... it's pretty mediocre.
