Yes, those are the same guys who brought us the Luminous Arc franchise, so this is going to be great, right? Both those are true about Ignition’s upcoming Wii RPG Arc Rise Fantasia, which was developed by Imageepoch and Marvelous Entertainment.

Music by legendary composer Yasunori Mitsuda, who composed music for classic titles such as Chrono Trigger, Tobal No.1, Xenogears, and more.I feel it is my personal mission to talk up niche JRPGs that I think are both going to be a great gaming experience and a great addition to the platform they’ll be released on.
