The battle system is also retro-inspired, but the appeal of the battle system stems from the fact that it is so retro that it feels fresh. The game's story isn't the only thing that recalls older titles. However, if you crave something a bit more original, you won't find it here. The game's story plays like a mix of all your favorite RPGs from the past, which is actually somewhat endearing if you are an old-school JRPG fan and like a classic story with plenty of conventions. During your travels, you'll meet a reluctant royal, a goofy (but occasionally serious) sidekick, and, of course, a competing love interest. Of course, there are plenty of clichés in the story so far, but what I've described only covers about the first half hour of the gameplay. This mysterious woman becomes an integral part of the story (as well as the eventual love interest) and is interested in travelling with you because it was her mother's dying wish that she sees a specific city in your nation. He is found by a mysterious young lady from an enemy country who refers to herself as a 'Diva' and seems to have defeated the Feldragon without suffering the consequences of its destructive curse. Fortunately, he isn't successful in his endeavors and ends up alone in a forest. Unfortunately, defeating these beasts is complicated, as they create a toxic explosion when they die that can wipe out nearby towns and villages. The game starts with our hero, a high-ranking soldier named L'Arc, trying to battle a beast known as a Feldragon. Although the weak thematic story and design elements are helped by a strong turn-based battle system, there are some other missing components that make this title fall short of its potential. As much as hardened gamers don't like to admit it, familiarity is the name of the game (why else would there be tens of Super Mario games all with the same premise) and simply recombining elements from previous RPGs certainly isn't a bad thing, in fact, it is almost par for the course. However, this isn't necessarily a reason to rule Arc Rise Fantasia out immediately. From the anime-inspired style and subtle earth-conscious storyline, the game unabashedly reproduces elements from the Tales of, Final Fantasy, and Dragon Age series. From the moment you start playing Arc Rise Fantasia, the title's intentions are clear.
