I bought Shining Wind because I support the idea of making people into cool swords, in hopes that maybe I get a　sexy reverse harem version that isn't Pretear. It DOES have one of those androgynous male creatures that looks like a girl, right? (not much help)

Ar Tonelico ... is a mistake.
For me, or...for everything?! I think the heroine you don't like is Aurica. She looks like a melodramatic teenager---should've been in High School Musical!
