– Conversations might be related to the skill system
– You can have conversations with A partners within the “intervals” of realtime battles
– “Trivial” conversations when you’re on the move as well
– Director: “There exists drama even in battle”
– Producer says your comrades in the game talk a lot, including during battle and when on the move
– Producer: “You’ll hear conversations amongst your comrades in all sorts of situations.”
– Conversations will stay with you and help show the characters’ personalities/relationships
– Producer: “Players are surrounded in their comrades’ conversations.”
– Producer believes players will realize the warmth of being surrounded by friends when they’re alone

ARC RISE FANTASIA FOR NINTENDO Wii GETS RELEASE DATE

Classic Japanese RPG experience filled with humor, drama and action will be available on July 27

Ignition Entertainment Ltd., a UTV Enterprise and worldwide publisher of videogames, and Marvelous Entertainment today announced that Arc Rise Fantasia exclusively for the Nintendo Wii™ will start to ship at retail on July 20 for the suggested price of $39.99.

“Arc Rise Fantasia truly fills a gap in the Nintendo Wii library,” said Nigel Fox, European Head of Publishing for UTV Ignition Entertainment. “It offers a solid JRPG experience for longtime fans of the genre, but also serves as a perfect way to introduce Wii owners to deeper, more engrossing video games. So many people bought Wii so they could work out, but are missing out on games like Arc Rise Fantasia, which offers the drama of a soap opera and imaginative settings of a great film.”

Arc Rise Fantasia delivers a traditional Japanese RPG (JRPG) experience unlike anything currently available on the Nintendo Wii. The game features everything fans of the JRPG genre want out of a classic gaming experience. As the mercenary L’Arc, players must gather friends and allies to defend the peaceful Meridian Empire from a mysterious enemy. But what starts as a struggle to save an empire quickly unravels into a desperate fight to save the face of the planet. Filled with memorable characters, pulse-pounding combat and a sweeping storyline, Arc Rise Fantasia distills more than a decade of gaming tradition into one unforgettable journey.
