Review: Arc Rise Fantasia (Wii Retail) 900x

Story & Gameplay:

The story in this game is epic and has an emotion driven feel to it. The game is a turn based rpg that has a unique rogress system that allows you to boost stats and summon mighty rogress to aid you! Expect it to take quite some time to play through this game as the main story will likely take 80+ hours and if you add the secret dungeon, hidden bosses and sidequests, it can easily take 150 hours to complete this game 100%.

Graphics:

Wow, just wow this games graphics are absolutely awe-inspiring as the in game graphics such as models, special effects as well as the towns and dungeons are better then what's seen in most PS2 rpgs. It also has mind-blowing CGI cutscenes that look like something you'd see on a X-Box 360 rpg.

Sound & Music:

The voice acting in this game gets alot of hate by gamers and though it is not AAA quality it's still above average. The soundtrack is awesome and most of the music fits very well.

Review: Arc Rise Fantasia (Wii Retail) 900x

Bottom line:

This is one great rpg that no gamer should miss out on as it has a great story with tons of sidequests, 100+ hours of gameplay, decent voice acting (despite what you might read on other sites), an epic soundtrack and not to mention graphics that defy the limitations of the Wii.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Score: ★★★★★★★★★½ 9.5/10

9- Awesome This game has little in the way of flaws, and is a highly enjoyable experience.

Despite all of the criticism and bad press this game has gotten,I think it's one of the best rpgs since Final Fantasy XII Smile

I just don't get why every hardly changed call of duty game gets rave reviews,yet an awesome and unique rpg like this gets treated like trash...... Thank you for giving this great game a score it deserves Very Happy

This is a great game no doubt about it, but it cheeses me off that Xenoblade and The Last Story are almost certainly not going to see an american release Sad

This game is just as good as The Last Story and Xenoblade, but alot of people disagree for some reason. Neutral
I'm happy you gave this game a fair review and score! Very Happy

Why doesn't this Wiiview have any screenshots, especially when you noted how beautiful the visuals/graphics are. Sad

Someone please help Rukiafan add some screenshots in his review!

Yeah, it's very unfortunate.

But hope's not lost, Europeans could get it on Wii U as a Wii download, if there's some demand.

- Arc Rise Fantasia isn't the only game I'd pay 19.99€ for, there's also
- Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny,
- Phantom Brave: We Meet Again,
- Trauma Team,
- Excitebots: Trick Racing,
- Shiren The Wanderer,
- Fishing Resort,
- Mario Super Sluggers,
- and a few other gems that are out in the US and never got to EU.

@SKTTR Unfortunately Arc Rise Fantasia and Rune Factory's developers both went bankrupt and their IP's weren't sold off, so those two series are officially dead and thus can't be released on the Virtual Console service...Neutral

Whoa, it's one of @Ichigofan's earliest reviews... "See the legend before he became a legend!" Even back then your reviews were superb! Review: Arc Rise Fantasia (Wii Retail) 631737971

That one smiley seems a little lonely, however...

@Natsume Thanks for the heads-up!

@GeekyGamerZack That smiley was an oversight, our website didn't have the emoticon feature until slightly after I wrote the review so it just sort of showed up! Laughing
