Ignition Entertainment Bringing Arc Rise Fantasia To North America

Ignition Entertainment is bringing another Wii-exclusive Japanese RPG over to North America. The publisher has announced that they will be publishing Arc Rise Fantasia, the first console title by 7th Dragon and Luminous Arc developer imageepoch.
"We are absolutely thrilled to bring Arc Rise Fantasia to a western audience," said former 1UP editor and current Ignition Business Development Director Shane Bettenhausen.

"It's an ambitious Japanese role-playing game with deep gameplay, top-notch production values, and an unforgettable story line -- Wii owners have been pining for a massive fantasy epic and their patience will definitely be rewarded."

This is the second Marvelous Entertainment game that Ignition will be publishing, with the first being Muramasa: The Demon Blade. Fans of the Tales series should enjoy Arc Rise Fantasia, as it employs an art style and battle system that's similar to Namco's flagship RPG series.

Look for Arc Rise Fantasia in Summer 2010.

This formerly Japan-only, Wii-exclusive RPG is now coming to American shores next year. For those of you who are interested in an RPG title for the Wii, you should keep an eye on this.

god damnit! -_-

Last I heard, X Seed was working on translating this.
I've been watching this game for some time, it deserved better than this. Ignition is imfamous for doing low quality, uninteresting, barebones translations. This is terrible news for anyone looking forward to the game.
