Does it feel like Skies of Arcadia?
Anyway it sounds like everything I love about JRPGS

nope, doesn't feel like it at all to me, if you are thinking the combat system, a little bit, but quiet different as well.

Dahuman. do you think you could give a little review of this game, at any point? I'd love to know a little more of the inner workings in this game. I've had my eye on it for a while and the battle system has intrigued me a tad, and it's linearity has captured me. God i'm such a sucker...

I'll definitely be getting this once it's available in PAL territories. Come on Rising Star Games... you can do it.

I don't do reviews, but I'll see if I can get some youtube vids up explaining some of the combat if I have the time for it.

Does this game have an open world or are the areas more confined and linear?

story is pretty linear just like most JRPGs(I'm sure I'm missing some details atm on the summons, and you have to do a lot of dungeon farming if you want the higher lvl magics, money is not an issue later in the game btw since you'd have to remap a lot of magic stuff with money,) there is a world map, and well, it's a JRPG lol, don't know what else I can say but that.

I mean is it more like Zelda where you can wander around or do you travel from small area to small area as in most JRPG's?

Nice. I'm pumped for the game, and good to see it doesn't shy away from difficulty! Come out now!

Youtube videos would be just peachy. As i said i'd like to know the battle system a little bit more, in fact, general gameplay vids of any kind would be just fine.



How technical is your game?

oh and the music is excellent.


Thats to be expected. The person who composed the music for Arc Rise Fantasia is the same person who composed the music for the greatest rpg of all time Xenogears.
