Arc Rise Fantasia is set in the empire of Meridian. Creatures called "Contaminant Dragons" are causing a lot of trouble as they pass the Meridian in flocks. If one is killed, the resulting explosion poisons the local area. When the empire receives word that a massive horde has its sights on the capital of Diamant, it immediately sends out an army to fight them, including Bright, a cool and collected novice mercenary, and his friend Alse, the beloved prince and second in line for the throne. Bright is severely injured during the battle, but is saved by a girl named Ryphia, who has secrets in her past and possesses the power to control "ley squalls," naturally-occurring storms of magic that usually take the form of luminous rain

Sorry to dig up this thread. But this game is really nice and recommended to play. I finished it last weekend.

Graphics cannot be compare like those JRPG games in XBOX or PS3 but the story,sound theme and game play is really awesome.

I can say that it is far alot better than FF13. lol

You will like this game if you played before Tales of Vesperia.

Still waiting for PAL release..

Good JRPG on Wii console, that got US release for my NTSC-U Wii. The next I'm looking forward is Xenoblade (PAL release announced but US???) and The Last Story.
