Workarounds & fixes
Compromised official localization
Project Metafalica is the preferred English route: it retranslates and repairs the script instead of asking you to tolerate the original localization problems.

Mods & Improvements
Project Metafalica 2.0
Retranslation / bug fixes / QoL
Platform: PlayStation 2 / PCSX2
Project Metafalica 2.0 is FC's priority recommendation: a ground-up English retranslation with extensive localization/base-game bug fixes, quality-of-life additions and remade/translated graphical assets. Do not combine it with the 1vierock HD texture pack, which can overwrite Metafalica's modified graphics. For sharper visuals, use PCSX2 internal resolution, anisotropic filtering and the project's optional included ReShade preset instead. Apply to a compatible dump of your own game.
FC recommended way to play in English
Ar tonelico II 4K HD Texture Pack
HD texture pack
Platform: PlayStation 2 / PCSX2
1vierock high-resolution PCSX2 texture replacement for the original English release. Treat this as an alternative visual route, not an add-on to Project Metafalica: the packs replace overlapping graphical assets, so using 1vierock can overwrite Metafalica's translated/remade graphics. FC recommends Project Metafalica 2.0 first; choose this pack only if you prefer its HD textures over the retranslation route.
Alternative visual-only route - do not combine with Project Metafalica
