New Wii RPG: Arc Rise Fantasia

The Development team behind Luminous Arc on the DS have revealed their newest project; A highly promising Turn-based RPG for the Wii, Arc Rise Fantasia.

In development by Image Epooch and to be published by Marvelous (which gives the game a good chance for release here, as Marvelous has strong ties with Rising Star), Arc Rise Fantasia is a traditional Turn-based Role-Playing Game, and according to a 1up article;

Arc Rise Fantasia is set in the empire of Meridian, which has a bit of a lingering dragon problem. These so-called "contaminant dragons" are nothing but trouble, passing through the nation in great flocks; even if you kill one, the resulting explosion poisons the local area and causes it to look a bit like a Superfund site. When the empire receives word that a massive horde has its sights on the capital of Diamant, it immediately sends out an army to counteract them, including licensed mercenary Bright and his friend Alse, royal prince and second in line for the throne. Bright is severely hurt in the ensuing battle, but is saved at the last minute by a girl named Ryphia who possesses the power to control "ley squalls," naturally-occurring storms of magic that usually take the form of luminous rain.
