どうも、河内です。
さて、いよいよ発売直前です。
思い返せば開発の最初に、土屋さんと始めて打ちあわせしてから、幾年月…長かったようであっという間にこの日を迎えることになりました。
ガスト開発部隊の皆さんには、ほぼ助けられっぱなしで、すばらしいゲームの誕生に立ちあわせていただきました。
凪良さんには、本当に苦労していただき、すばらしいビジュアルを構築していただきました。
志方さん・霜月さん・みとせさん・石橋さん、４人の歌姫の皆さんにはこのゲームを貫く、真のアルトネリコとも言える柱を謳いあげていただきました。若き声優の皆さんには、今まで誰も知らなかった独特の世界観でのドラマに、見事に命を吹き込んでもらいました。
各メディアの皆さんが賛同してくれて、新参者のタイトルながら大きな顔をさせていただき、多方面で紹介していただきました。
そして、タイトル発表後、各方面で応援してくれ、我々に力を与えてくれたユーザーの皆さん。
<br /.
多くの想いを、皆さんの協力で紡ぎ、〝アルトネリコ 世界の終わりで詩い続ける少女〟を発売することができます。
本当に、ありがとうございます。
皆さんのおかげで完成したアルトネリコは、発売後に楽しんでいただく為、語れなかったことがまだまだギッチリ詰まっています。
１月２６日にはソフトを手に入れて、皆さん自身で、じっくりすべてを体験してみてください。
せっかくなので他で語っていない（ハズの）ネタをひとつ語っちゃいましょう。精神世界・コスモスフィアでは、次にシナリオ進行する場所に☆マークがでます。ふつうは☆マークを追いかけてプレイすれば、そんなに問題無くクリアできるのですが、☆マークが無い場所にも、ちょっとした会話イベントが用意してあったりします。彼女たちの精神世界にダイブできるようになったら、急いでクリアをしないで、いろいろと寄り道してみてください。
そのレベルでしか見られないイベントが用意されていますので、次のレベルへ進む前にＤＰが１ではないポインタには全部入っておくことをオススメします。
特にミシャには、秘密があったりしますのでお楽しみを！
すでに発売になっているサントラＣＤ。
そしてゲームの発売後には、ＯＶＡやドラマＣＤの発売。
コミックブレイド連載のコミックもどんどん面白くなってきています。
ゲームだけでは無く、まだまだアルトネリコの世界は広がっていきます。
いろいろな側面を体験できる〝アルトネリコ〟を、どうか可愛がってやってください。
よろしくお願いします。

Greetings, Kawachi here.
Well, looks like the release date is finally about to come.
Now I think back to it, from when we started the development on Ar tonelico, and I started collaborating with Tsuchiya-san, a few years have passed... and after such a long time, we have finally reached this day.
All of the members of Gust's Development Department have continued being a great help, and greatly contributed to the birth of a wonderful game.
To Nagi Ryou-san, I sincerely want to apologize for being such a source of trouble, and thank him for having created such wonderful images.
To the four songstresses that worked with us in this project: Shikata-san, Shimotsuki-san, Mitose-san, and Ishibashi-san; I really want to give you all my gratitude for having accepted to sing the songs that serve as the true foundations of Ar tonelico. The same goes for all our voice actors and actresses, who have magnificently breathed life and created a drama in a unique world setting that has never seen before.
Also, my thanks to all of the media outlets that have approved this game, and greatly publicized it despite it being a new franchise, allowing it to be introduced to many people in many ways.
And finally, like the title says, I want to thank all our users too, who have supported us many ways, and always gave us strength.
Thanks to the many feelings we have created with the collaboration of all of you, "Ar tonelico: The Girl That Keeps Singing At the End of the World" will finally be able to get released.
Ar tonelico was completed thanks to all your support, but since we wanted you all to enjoy the game after its release, we have decided to refrain ourselves from talking about certain topics.
Once you get your hands in the game in this 26th January, I hope you all will attempt to enjoy and experience the game to its fullest.
I have awaited a long time to do this, but among the other things I can't (nor I shouldn't) mention, there is a little spoiler I can mention. Whenever you all are exploring the Soulspaces/Cosmospheres, the next place to where you have to go will be marked by an star. While you can clear all of the Cosmospheres just by going to the next star mark as normal, we have also prepared a few conversation events that don't have these marks. Once you become able of Diving into the Soulspaces of the Heroines, don't go rushing to clear them and try checking different places as you advance.
These extra events can only be seen in the level in which they are found, so make sure to check all the points if there is an specific point that doesn't ask for only for 1 DP to enter before proceeding to the next level.
This especially goes for Misha, who has many secrets that I hope you have fun uncovering!
We've already begun selling the soundtrack CD.
And after the game gets released, we will begin selling an OVA and a Drama CD.
And it seems that the manga that has been serialized in Comic Blade has gotten quite interesting as well.
As you can see, the world of Ar tonelico isn't limited to the game, and we will continue expanding it as much as we can.
I hope that you will be able to experience Ar tonelico in many ways, and that you will always treasure it.
So, I hope we can continue to rely on each other.
