Question Corner

Toukou 02.jpg

回のトウコウスフィアは2のキャラだけの参加、ということなので、ルカに答えてもらいたい質問があります。
正直な話、ルカから見てオリカってどうですか?
怖いんじゃないですか?言葉のすぐ裏に潜んだダークな波動とかが。
(ヤマト)

As it was said that this issue of the Toukousphere would only have the characters from 2, or something to that effect, there's a question I want Luca to answer.
Be honest, how do you see Aurica?
Aren't you afraid? It's as if words were immediately absorbed into a surge of unseen darkness or something.
(Yamato)

Luca(adult)1.jpg

そ、そんなことないよぉ。
だって、オリカさんって私達の先輩に当たるヒロインなんだよ?
あの人が出てたおかげでアルトネリコの人気が出たから、私たちの出てるアルトネリコ2が発売できたんだし。
私たち2のキャラからしたら、伝説のヒロインと言っても過言じゃないもの。

Th, That's not true at all.
Aurica's the appropriate heroine to be our senior, after all!
It's all thanks to her appearance that Ar tonelico was so successful that the game where we appear, Ar tonelico 2, could be made and sold.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she's called a legendary heroine among us characters from 2!

Aurica20.jpg

もう、ルカちゃんはお世辞が上手いんだから。
でも確かに1の人気があったから2が発売出来たのは事実だよね。
ルカちゃんも頑張れば、あたし達みたいにOVAとか作られるようになるから、もっと頑張った方がいいよ。

Oh... that's because you're so good at flattery, Luca.
However it's true that 2 could be released because of 1's popularity, right?
If you try your best too, it'll become possible to create an OVA like us, so it's best to try even harder.

Luca(adult)1.jpg

えへへ、そうですね。
オリカさんよりも先にフィギュアで発売になるからって浮かれてちゃダメですよね。

Eheheh, that's true.
Then I shouldn't bring up that I got a figure released before you, right?

な、何だか微妙に空気が張り詰めてる気がするんだが……。

F-for some reason, it feels like the atmosphere got a lot more tense...

ダイヴについて質問です。
ダイヴされる側はレーヴァテイルに限られていると思いますが、する側は一般の人間に限らず、レーヴァテイルでも大丈夫なのでしょうか。
また、レーヴァテイルがレーヴァテイルにダイヴした場合、その過程でダイヴァー側が詩魔法を紡ぐということもあるのでしょうか。
(ruroi)

For the Technical Service Center.
I've got a question about Dives.
I think that the Reyvateil side of the Dive Machines is only limited to the Reyvateils, but given the Diver's side isn't limited just to humans, would it be okay for Reyvateil to enter on it?
And if a Reyvateil Dived into another Reyvateil, would the Diver be able to craft Song Magic during it?
(Ruroi)

Jakuri0.jpg

もちろんダイブする側に入ることも出来るわよ。その時は人間として認識してログインすることになるけど。
レーヴァテイルがダイバーとしてダイブマシンに入る場合、ダイバー側のレーヴァテイルは詩魔法は紡げないの。
厳密には紡ぐ可能性はあるけど、それは現実世界で紡ぐのと同じくらい大変なのよ。
何故かと言えば、ダイブマシンはダイバー側とレーヴァテイル側で、走査しているインターフェイスが全然違うからよ。
レーヴァテイル側はレーヴァテイル質をスキャニングするように作られていて、ダイバー側は、人間の意識部分を 抽出するように作られている。すなわち、2つは外観は同じでも、中身は全然違うマシンだってこと。
だから、レーヴァテイルがダイバー側に入ったときは、レーヴァテイルの人間質の方だけが認識されるというわけ。 わかってもらえたかしら?

Of course they can enter the Diver's side of the machine, though they would be recognized and logged in as humans when they did that.
However, if a Reyvateil enters the Dive Machine as a Diver, she won't be able to craft Song Magic for the duration of that Dive.
Strictly speaking, it is still possible for them to craft Song Magic, but it would be about the same probability as them crafting it anywhere else on the real world, so it'd be very rare for that to happen.
This happens because the Diver's side and the Reyvateil's side of the Dive Machines have completely different scanning interfaces.
The Reyvateil's side is made specifically for scanning the Reyvateil nature, while the Diver's side is made to abstract the consciousness of the humans. In other words, while both kinds of pods have the same appearance from the outside, on the inside they're completely different machines.
So if a Reyvateil enters the Diver's side, the machine will only recognize her human nature. Did you get it?

初めての投稿になりますがよろしくお願いします。
シュレリア様・フレリア様は『オリジン』と呼ばれる塔の管理者として造られた第1世代のレーヴァテイルですが、アルトネリコが存在する限り生き続けることになるんですよね?
つまり死ぬことの出来ない生命ってことですよね。それって少し辛すぎると思います・・・
また、管理者の交代は不可能なんでしょうか?
現在でも塔との神経接続が可能なら一定周期ごとに管理者の交代が可能になりそうですがどうでしょう?
(窓六)

This is for the Technical Service Center.
This is my first contribution. Pleased to be of acquaintance.
Both Lady Frelia and Lady Shurelia are called the [Origins], the very first generation of Reyvateils created to be the Tower Administrators, but does this mean that both of them can continue living as long as Ar tonelico exists?
This means that they are immortal beings, huh? Though I think that would be a little too cruel to them...
And also, it's impossible for the Administrators to be replaced?
If right now someone got her nervous connections linked to the Tower, could her be an Administrator for a certain period of time?
(Souroku)

Frelia0.jpg

なんだか壮大な質問が来ちゃったね。
正直ちょっと退屈だったなーとは思うけど、今のところそんなに辛いって思うことは無いかな。
管理者の交代は今でも技術的には可能だよ。ただし私の場合、第一塔に戻らなくちゃいけないけどね。 管理者交代が出来る場所はリンカーネイションしか無いから、エオリアちゃん(シュレリア様)も私も同じで、リンカーネイションに行くしかないんだ。
で、交代するのは全然構わないんだけどね、私なんてあまり管理者向きじゃないし。
でも、代わりのオリジンっているのかな…。いなければ交代できないよね。
メタ・ファルスの人達の為にも、もう少し私が頑張らないとね!

This is somewhat of a big question, huh?
Honestly, I think this job it's a little boring sometimes, but I have yet to think of it as cruel or hard.
The change of Administrators is still possible now, but in my case, I must go back to the First Tower to do so.
Given that the only place where the Administrator Change is possible is the Rinkernator, Eolia (Lady Shurelia) would be under the same situation as me: she would need to go there to perform the change.
By the way, while I don't really mind replacing her, I don't really think I'm fit to be an Administrator. But unless there was another Origin to replace her... the Administrator change would be impossible to do.
Still, I'll have to continue doing the best I can for the people of Metafalss!

EDアニメでジャクリはメタファリカにより緑が産み出されたインフェル・ピラの大地の心臓を眺めてますよね。
スタッフロール後のジャクリが取り出す大地の心臓はこのインフェル・ピラの大地の心臓だと解釈してるのですが、大地の心臓を取り出してもメタ・ファルスは大丈夫なのでしょうか?
みくりの森関連のイベントを見る限り取り出すとその心臓により産み出された大地は消えるが、大地の心臓が謳い続けていれば新天地でまた大地を作れるっぽい趣旨の会話がありましたが、この通りだとメタ・ファルスから大地や緑が消えてしまわないでしょうか?
消えてしまうとしたら一見ハッピーエンドに見えてジャクリのした事はあまりにも酷いと思います。全てを計算した上でクロアやルカ、クローシェ達に協力してた事になるので…。そんな鬼畜な母さんが大好きです。
設定資料集等は読んでないので見当違いの解釈してたら申し訳無いですがどうしても気になったので。
それと前髪切った母さんが大好きです。
(前髪切ってあげた人)

This is for the Technical Service Center.
In the FMV ending we can see Jakuri gazing at the Heart of the Land of Infel Phira, which was what created the greenness that sprouted from Metafalica.
After the credits, we can see how she explained the Heart of the Land of Infel Phira as she took it out from its shell. However, would Metafalss be okay even if that Heart of the Land was taken away?
As far as we saw in the events related to the Mikry Forest, taking away the Heart would cause the land it created to disappear, but like it was said in that conversation, supposedly as long as the Heart would continue singing its song, they would be able to recreate that land under a new land and sky. According to this, the land and the greenness wouldn't disappear from Metafalss?
If that was the case, then I think Jakuri would have done a very cruel thing by ruining such a happy end, and that she had planned this all along by becoming an ally of Croix, Luca, Cloche and the others... but I really love Mother being as brutish asthat.
I'm very sorry if this is a wrong impression, given I haven't read yet the setting materials collection book, but this really worries me.
By the way, I really like how Mother has her bangs cut.

御指名するなんていい度胸してるじゃない。…まあいいわ。
ちなみに正解から言えば、あのシーンで私は大地の心臓を奪ってはいないわ。あの規模の大地の心臓だと、全部を持ち出すことは不可能よ。
あれは対話によって、その一部の想いを分けてもらっただけ。そうね、仮に言えば直径3mの球体から直径5cmの粒をもらったくらいでしかないのよ。
だから、大陸がどうこうなる事なんてあり得ないし、ビクともしないはずよ。まあ確かに、似非大陸の大地の心臓の時は全部奪っていったけど、アレは仕方ないのよ。
あのサイズだと、丸々もらわないと実用的なサイズにならなかったんだから。

まあ、必要悪だと思ってもらえばいいわ。

So you had the nerve of naming yourself like that, huh? ...Oh, well.
While you have a correct interpretation of this, in that scene I didn't take away the Heart of the Land on its entirety, as given the enormous size it had, it would have been impossible to take out all of it.
When I conversed with it, I simply separated one part of its feelings. And yes, it would be as if I took away only around 5 cm of an sphere that has 3m of diameter.
Because of this, it isn't likely that anything will happen to the continent, no matter how far away that piece of the Heart is taken.
And while it's true that I took away all of the Heart of the Land that created the faulty continent, that wasn't something that could be avoided.
It was so small that it'd been impractical to take even an smaller part of it.
Well, you could think that it was a necessary evil.

IPDについて質問です。
IPDは意識が繋がっているとのことですが、IPD同士(暴走時は除く)で争うということは無いのでしょうか?(IPD間の攻撃は一種の自傷行為のように思うのですが…)
また、彼らの集合意識はどの程度まで個体に影響するのでしょうか。個々の知識や経験、記憶や感覚なども共有できるのですか?
統率者であるクローシェ様がそれらにどこまで干渉できるのかも気になるところです。
(grid116)

For the Technical Service Center.
I've got a question about the IPDs.
The IPDs have their consciousnesses connected, but does that mean that fellow IPDs will never fight against each other? (outside of the time they're having an outbreak?) (As I think that attacking each other would be considered as a sort of self-injurious behavior...)
Also, their consensus of feelings how much influence does it have over their individual selves? Could they share their own individual knowledge, experiences, memories and sensations?
And I'm also interested in knowing about how much interference Lady Cloche can hold over them, given she's their leader.
(gridd116)

Jakuri0.jpg

確かにI.P.D.の意識は繋がっているわ。でも、普段からそれぞれの意識が見え続けているわけではないのよ。さすがにクローシェだって、私でもそれはいやね。
I.P.D.同士はコスモスフィアLv7にある「I.P.D.境界門」という門によって、普段は他のI.P.D.との意識が閉じられているわ。
そしてそれが開けられるのは、現在で分かっているのは「モード・メタファリカ」の時だけなのよ。
それも謳っている瞬間だけ意識が繋がるという感じで、詩を謳う事に集中していれば、他人の心を覗こうなんて出来ないはずなのよ。
あと、モード・メタファリカの場合、見られるのは特定の人に意識を向けたとき、その人の「想い」だけ。
要するに感情や、現在思っていることの感覚的で直感的な部分しか見ることは出来ないわ。過去を見ようといっても無理なの。
まあ、今は忘れ去られてしまっているモードの中に、そういった全てを繋げてしまうモードもあったとは聞くけど…それは歴史に葬られて正解ね…。

It's true that the consciousnesses of the IPDs are connected, but that doesn't mean they can normally continue peeking into each other's consciousness. As you might expect, neither me nor Cloche would like that.
There's a gate called the the "IPD Boundary Gate" between the IPDs up to their Lv. 7 Cosmospheres, which under normal conditions keep that link between them closed.
And the only moment in which that opens up, as you might know by now, is when "Metafalica Mode" is activated.
And besides, their consciousness only links up during the time they are singing, so they shouldn't be able to peek into the minds of others because they are too concentrated in singing.
Additionally, when Metafalica Mode is active, the only thing they would be able to see if they focused on the consciousness of a specific person would be the "feelings" that person has.
In short, they wouldn't be able to see anything aside of what that person is thinking, sensing or feeling at that precise instant, and looking into their memories is also impossible.
But well, I've heard there also was a Mode among the completely forgotten ones that made a connection like the one you're thinking of, but... it's better that it was buried away by history...

メタファリカで大陸を紡ぐ際に、インフェル・ピラから 木などが生えてきているようですが、世界の原子の量は変わることがありません。
あれはこの世界から集めているのか、あるいは原子自体を新しく発生させるものなのですか?
よくわからなかったので説明をおねがいします。

When the Metafalica Continent was made, we saw how some trees and other things sprouted from Infel Phira, but the atomic mass forming the world didn't change in quantity.
Where these atoms gathered from the ones in the world, or were they made on the spot?
I don't really get it, so please explain to me what happened.

もう…円田先生の波動科学の授業、寝ていたのかな?先生がっかりだよ…。
この世界はどこの場所にも、等価な密度で無限全方向に対して均一のベクトルを持つ波動エネルギーを持っているの。
その、1点に対して無限個存在する波動について、どの周波数でどの方向を向いた波の振幅がどれくらいの振幅量か、 それを全周波数分定義すると、そこにある物質が何なのかが決定されるんだよ?
そのエネルギー量(=波動の振幅幅)が小さければ疎な気体成分になるし、エネルギーが大きければ密な固体成分になるんだから。
その波動の名称は定常D波というの。原子というものは、その波動の周波数分布とベクトル、そして振幅量によって決定される 最小の粒子って事になるかな。だから、世界全体の質量はめまぐるしくかわるかもしれないけど、世界を流れる大原則である 波動荷の保存は成り立っているというわけ。
わかってくれたかな?
(※このお話はアルトネリコの世界観を構成する世界設定の一部であり、現在地球で常識とされている現代科学とは関係ありません)

Um... did you fall asleep during Miss Enta's wave science lectures? Your teacher is so disappointed...
In every place of this world, there are energy waves that have uniform vectors that go in infinite directions with an equivalent density.
And for every time one of these infinite waves touches a point, no matter what frequency it has, in which direction the amplitude of the wave goes or how much is the extent of its amplitude, that defines all the frequencies in that point, and it also defines the matter that exists in it.
If the energy amount (the amplitude of the wave) is small, then it will define gases, while if the energy is great it will define dense solids.
The name given to this kind of waves is Static D-Waves. I think we could say that atoms are the smallest particles that can be defined by the frequency distribution, vectors and amplitudes of these waves. So maybe the matter that forms this entire world changes in a crazy way, but its wave loads still keep existing the way they do thanks to the great principles that flow through it.
Did you get it?
(※This explanation is just one part of the world setting that makes up the worldview of Ar tonelico, and thus isn't grounded on the scientific theories that are considered as valid on current Earth science).

今回は何と!オリカ(=トウコウスフィアの裏の女王!?)以外のアルトネリコ1キャラが全員休暇!という これまた前代未聞の企画をやってみました。どうでしたか?確かにアルトネリコ1のキャラは、ずっと 1のキャラだけでいましたが、2のキャラ単体というのはこういう企画でも無ければありませんからね。 もし反響が良ければ、また2オンリー、そして1オンリー復刻版(?)もやってみたいと思います。 それでは、また次回!
(土屋)

This time was so " what!?", as aside of Aurica (the Queen of the Underworld in the Toukousphere!?), all the Ar tonelico 1 characters had a day off! So I wanted to try carrying out an unprecedented project. How did you like it? It's true that the Ar tonelico 1 characters were always here, so I wanted to see how the characters for 2 would fare by themselves, as they wouldn't have gotten a chance to otherwise. If it gets a good reception, I'd like to try making a 2-only edition again or making a 1-only reprint edition (?). Well then, see you next time!
