Quick Look: Arc Rise Fantasia

Been waiting for the US release of this

alright... that was fast

Gotta love new RPGs

sweet, quick look!!

Nice

it's out today methinks.

yay

Wow, Kessler really taking charge of and dropping the knowledge bomb on this Quick Look. Nice work. 
 
Also, Kessler: The Intern: The JRPG Guy.

Ahh I love a good JRPG... Hope this gets an EU release!

Shit another QL I have to skip out of moral obligations.

does that bar say  "rogress bar "

Woo Kessler QLs.  As a JRPG fan, I'd really love for there to be a guy who's into that stuff on GB.  Most of it these days isn't great, but there are some genuine gems out there.
 
EDIT:  Of course, this doesn't seem like one of the gems. Because just about every console RPG this generation has been a huge bummer, for whatever reason.

n...no.  
I cant.

can't wait to throw in all sorts of water gems to get all watered up

Don't tell anyone but I have a pro-Kessler agenda

Kessler knows his shit. This is awesome.

The JRPG: 50 different battle systems to kill the same enemies and play the same story.

Matt does a great job! He always knows his stuff and he has great enthusiasm!

Woooo Bodega! 
 
I wonder if he's organised those comics yet?  :P

The battle system looks pretty awesome, but the VO and general story sound pretty lame.

Right on for the US release!!! 
Time to put away DP and get my real JRPG on!!!!
Dear God.......I need to call my therapist.............

Yay, more JRPGs on the Wii that I'll never look into. Sigh...I guess I'll stick to Dragon Quest.

What the heck was that defense thing?

Also if you're getting 8 AP a turn and you have 10 max AP, shouldn't you always use until you have at most 2/10 left so you're not wasting AP during refills?

Bodega! Putting the YAY into JRPGS.

Hah! I never realized that ALF could mean Alien Life Form. :P
 
Thanks Jeff!

" The JRPG: 50 different battle systems to kill the same enemies and play the same story. "

sorry but..this guy doin the QL needs to chill out or not do anymore.  I turned this off 1/4th of the way through it because his over-embellished and over-enthusiastic remarks and tone were totally off-putting.  Not to mention annoying.

Oh man. I just realized that Ryan will never be on a JRPG Quick Look ever again when he can just kick it down to Kessler.

Also I didn't know that a classic controller was necessary to play a game where you press a button over and over again for 80 hours. I didn't realize that the nunchuk was such an affront to mankind.

God, dat voice acting.
 
Meh... still better than Just Cause 2.

And there you go, Whitney Houston's true secret has been revealed. Drugs = Magical Power

Now with umbrellas "

Oh god the voice acting is almost as bad as  chaos wars

I'm trying to figure out if a fully voiced game with bad VO is better than just having to read most of the time with good VO over less parts.

Kessler is annoying..

Even better than the DQIX QL. Nice work Matt!

Apparently the voices can be turned off.

All the voice actors sound like they have a cold.

Why all the hate for Kessler? When did it become a bad thing to be excited about playing video games?

" ok...gave it another shot cause I'm really interested in this game..need a good RPG for my Wii.....  this guy is unbearable.  sounds fake.  not saying, in any way, to get rid of him...but he NEEDS to tone it down..this is too much..I don't even want to watch any of his stuff if this continues. "

This game doesn't look very good.  Happy to see another Kessler Quick Look though.

wow this looks like a generic ass jrpg...boy

 Kessler is fine, he is just trying too hard because he is nervous. Once he gets more comfortable and dials it back a notch he will be fine.
 
Chillax pon de mic!
