Arc Rise Fantasia is set in the world of Fulheim. Creatures called "Feldragons" are causing a lot of trouble as they pass the Meridian Empire 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 L'Arc, a cool and collected novice mercenary, and his friend Alf, the beloved prince and second in line for the throne. Production lasted three years, with Nintendo approaching the developers to create an RPG for the Wii. The team included Tales scenario writer Takumi Miyajima, and artists Kenichi Yoshida and Shin Nagasawa. The music was a collaborative effort between Yasunori Mitsuda, Shunsuke Tsuchiya and Yuki Harada, with the theme song written and performed by Ryfia's voice actress Yui Makino. Debuting to poor sales, the game saw a mixed reaction from critics, with most of the praise going towards its battle system. A recurring complaint was the localization and English dub, with Ignition later admitting its poor quality and changing its localization partners.
