Like I said, haven't played the games, very much spoiler-free for both. But I have a couple tropes that I know of.
Conlang: REON-4213 and Emotional Song Pact.
Promoted to Playable: Ion and Cas, in Ar nosurge.
Solar CPR: The goal of the Save Bezel Project.

Since unlike everyone else here, you seem willing to have a page on the series, you make it. Even if you only put down a few tropes, it's better than nothing, and then others can add in. I've never played the games, so I can't help with that matter.

There are others that could be added, such as:
Apocalypse How: Ra Ciela is headed for a Class X due to Bezel's expansion, and that's what both factions are trying to avoid. In the end, the planet gets destroyed in the failed Grand Phoenix Project and part of its population evacuates in the Soreil Refugee Ship.
Dropped a Bridge on Him: Pram's fate in Ciel nosurge's first chapter.
Floating Continents: What the Colons are in Ra Ciela during Ciel nosurge's time.
Generation Ships: Soreil, and also doubles as a SleeperStarship due to the Ancients.
Magic from Technology: Only for the Cielns (Song Magic invoked through Cielnotrons or the Surge Concerto Terminal). Hymmns are made by synchronizing with a Genom, and thus could be said to come from nature.
Magic Music: Par for the course for an Ar tonelico prequel series.
No Fourth Wall: Oh man, this so much. This is the entire premise of Ciel nosurge and Ar nosurge due to our dimension being in direct contact with the universe of EXA_PICO. Ion in Ciel nosurge, and several characters in Ar nosurge, all address the player directly at several points, and it's made clear that the player is directly controlling the actions of both protagonists.
Powers as Programs: The REON-4213 language used for the Cielns is pretty much programming, and all Cielns are programs stored in an online library called either the Class Drive (Ciel nosurge) or the Surge Concerto Terminal (Ar nosurge).
Tsundere: Casty so much.

Ciel nosurge has been out for almost two years, and Ar nosurge was released last week. I'm thinking it's about time they got pages, but seeing as I haven't played them, I don't think I'm the best one to launch the articles.
Especially with Ar nosurge, take extra care to mark your spoilers, since it's a brand-new game.
