Platina is a comprehensive encyclopedia that encompasses everything about the Ar tonelico and Surge Concerto series, their various related media, their characters, and everything about their engrossing and expansive worlds: Ar Ciel and Ra Ciela. Oh, and since some articles make use of the games' own languages: Hymmnos, Carmena Foreluna, and Ar Ciela, make sure to grab both the Hymmnos and Ar Ciela fonts before beginning to read up.
