Review: Standard JRPG that fills a gap in Wii's library nicely - I had very high hopes for Arc Rise, not to say I'm disappointed by it, just that there are a few annoyances I had to overlook before really getting into the game. After nearly a year delay from it's original US release, Arc rise comes at a time when there arent any Wii rpgs in play, so its a nice diversion from my party games and platformers. It has great graphics, a cool battle system, and likeable characters. If anything its very reminiscent of the Tales series, right down to the enemy encounters and skits. Though the production is great, it seems their budget ran short when came time to do the englisg voiceovers. HORRIBLE. I stayed with it a while, and when I found it unbearable, I looked for a Japanese option, which there isnt. I would even have settled for an option to turn the sound off and just read subtitles. There are slight hiccups n the framerate, as well. Honestly even with the crappy voices these aren't dealbreakers. If youre looking for a good RPG until Last Story hits, or if Xenoblade makes an american release, this is a good choice. Review: Western Critics are so beyond biased. - Arc Rise Fantasia (ARF) is yet another JRPG that has been boggled down by western media. ARF currently holds a whopping 64 score on metacritic. It just baffles me that a gem like this can slip through the cracks but yet a WRPG that is utterly broken in so many different ways can score a 92-96. Anyhow sorry for that mini rant, but let me explain why ARF is that gem I described. ARF is a return to the more classical PS1/PS2 era of JRPGs. There is lots of exploration, a decent story to be told, fantastic OST, solid round of characters, and the best of all DIFFICULTY! ARF is possibly one of the toughest classical style JRPGs I have played this generation outside of The Last Remnant (another gem that fell through the cracks). The game does not hold your hand, and it forces you to learn how to fight better, similarly to the Demon/Dark Souls games. This difficulty may be a turn off for new gamers who are just jumping in, but as a person who has been gaming for well over the last decade now, it was a joy to be had. I am absolutely tired of mind numbing games that hold no challenge. So I was overcome with joy when I died to that first boss battle, and the many that came after it. Hell even the final boss fight took me quite a few hrs to take out, after multiple deaths! I clocked out of ARF at 54ish hours. That involved me doing pretty much all of the side quests PRE-End Game. I still have not yet went back in to tackle the even more challenging bosses after the main game. So there are dozens of hours one could find themselves playing this game. If anyone elses review on here didn't make it clear enough. There is one glaring flaw with this game, and it is the voice acting. Half of the characters sound absolutely lifeless, while the other half do a decent job, but they aren't Ali Hillis, or Laura Bailey. If you are a fan of classical style JRPGs, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give this game a shot. We want more of this, support the developers who actually bring this stuff over. On a whole scale, I would actually rate ARF better than Xenoblade (Yes, I did import. Great game as well). ARF is a mix of Final Fantasy and Tales of. If you are a fan of either of those series then you will definitely enjoy this. 9/10 Quick Review: Postives: Deep story Solid Characters Fantastic OST Difficulty ~ YAYAYAYAYAY (Seriously, stop force feeding me easy games!!!!) Length of the game Negatives: Voice-Acting is fairly weak That Deep Story has quite a few terms that may get the player confused as hell. Luckily they added a dictionary to the game. ## Features - From the developers who created the highly lauded Luminous Arc - Combines high quality 3D graphics and modern gameplay - Classic Japanese high fantasy role-playing - Music by legendary composer Yasunori Mutsuda - Over 20 hours of gameplay ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001NCARPW | | Best Sellers Rank | #90,127 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #1,947 in Wii Games | | Compatible Video Game Console Models | Nintendo Wii, Nintendo Wii Mini, Nintendo Wii U | | Computer Platform | Nintendo Wii | | Customer Reviews | 3.5 3.5 out of 5 stars (97) | | Date First Available | November 16, 2009 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00853466001186 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | Yes | | Item Weight | 4 ounces | | Item model number | 400047 | | Manufacturer | Ignition Entertainment | | Product Dimensions | 7.56 x 5.38 x 0.56 inches; 4 ounces | | Publication Date | July 27, 2010 | | Rated | Teen | | Release date | July 27, 2010 | | Type of item | Video Game | | UPC | 893384000472 853466001186 | ## Images ![Arc Rise Fantasia - Nintendo Wii - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61NrKKMDvBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Standard JRPG that fills a gap in Wii's library nicely *by D***8 on July 28, 2010* I had very high hopes for Arc Rise, not to say I'm disappointed by it, just that there are a few annoyances I had to overlook before really getting into the game.

However, the characters sometime came off as a little flat or just plain annoying. If there's nothing else its a solid game that should pass the time. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/1220582-arc-rise-fantasia-nintendo-wii](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/1220582-arc-rise-fantasia-nintendo-wii) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-09-28*
