Character Creation Has A Race Problem

[Sigma-Astra]

Honestly speaking, and this is a one time only thing because I'm not getting fully involved into this nonsense. But, costumes or clothing in JRPG's, even MMO's based on other religions or cultures is not a new trend, however, that does not nor has it ever meant that the game or lore itself supports those religions or cultures. Sure, we can say that the creators were inspired and drew ideas and inspiration to put into the design, but that doesn't mean that they have to make it canon or even explain why it's in there nor explain why they even thought about it.

Aurica from Ar Tonelico has two Cosmosphere costumes that are clearly based on the angel/devil concepts of Christianity. These are legit things in the game that you will be wearing because they offer different HP, stat values, and bonuses until you get the lvl 8 Cosmosphere costume.

This does not mean that the world and lore of Ar Tonelico supports a religion based on Christianity or that the costumes represent said religion, nor does the creator need to explain it. There's no such thing as a legit heaven or hell or legit angels and demons in the world. Most people worship the Sol Ciel's tower administrator, Shurelia, while they fear the mother of all viruses and hater of humans, Mir. There's only three kinds of people in the world: humans, viruses, and Revyateils.....four if you count monsters.
