Arc Rise Fantasia, however, in essence, can be considered a [[SpiritualSuccessor title in spirit]] of the LuminousArc series, because of a handful of similarities with it.
----
!!Tropes presented by ''ArcRiseFantasia'':
* AerithAndBob: Mostly Aerith names like Ryfia and Rastan/Oigen, though there are "normal" ones like Alfonse and Leslie.
* AlchemicElementals: All four takes the form of floating magic wands
* AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield: The Rogress battles, as well as the final boss.
* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: The various short songs sung by Ryfia and [[spoiler:Adele]], such as "Imaginal Song" and "Song of Ruin" are in a significant-sounding, pleasant, but unknown and likely gibberish "language."
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Meridian Princes Alf and Weiss, General Clyde, Turmelian Operative Leslie, and QED Commander Ignacy all have their share of command, as well as fighting prowess. Also First Sergeant L'Arc and Imaginal Diva Ryfia, to a lesser extent. [[spoiler:Not to mention Real Diva Adele and Patriarch Hosea, though the latter got his power via Imaginal]].
* BadassLongcoat: Rastan/Oigen, natch.
* TheBattleDidntCount: [[spoiler: This happens when the party fights Alf in the Verct skywalk. He is defeated, but apparently still has enough energy to take on the Real rock with Clyde (Who was also defeated by the party right before Alf, but at least had the dignity to look injured).]]
* BettyAndVeronica: With Adele as Betty (being L'Arc's childhood friend and claiming that she loves him like a brother despite her obvious jealousy) and Ryfia as Veronica (the MysteriousWaif from an enemy country and so harshly sheltered you'd think she was from another planet).
* BlindIdiotTranslation: Not so much the translation as the execution. Ignition already got quite a bit of flack from pulling this during VisualNovel/LuxPain, but the voice actors don't match up with the lines, the wording is awkward, quite a few lines are changed, and the quality of the dub is a whole other story. Luckily, simply turning off the voices clears up quite a bit of the chaos.
* BloodlessCarnage: Even when someone suffers an injury in a cutscene, there is still no blood.
* BossRemix: The theme "A Grand Existence," which plays while battling the Rogress, is a remix of the music that plays in the opening FMV, "Meridian 2nd Hikoutei Squad."
* ButtMonkey: Niko.
* CassandraTruth: Not only the characters, but almost all players automatically assume that [[spoiler:Rastan/Oigen is Leon, despite the fact that he corrects this at every opportunity]].
* CombinationAttack: Trinity Acts, and [[spoiler:Excel Trinities]].
** The twin Lolita girls, Paula and Luna, have one of their own called "Magical Gemini"[[hottip:* :Oddly, the attack name is written in Hiragana, which is usually for words of Japanese origin.]].
* ContinuityNod: Quite a lot of facts hint the game's possible connection to the LuminousArc series.
** The word "Arc" in the title.
** The Kopins.
** The currency used in LuminousArc 1 & [[LuminousArc2 2]], "Rico".
** [[spoiler: Lucia, Vanessa and Saki, are {{BonusBoss}}es in the arena.]]
* CuteBruiser: For being only 12, Cecille packs quite a punch.
** Niko learns the hard way.
* DeusExHomine: [[spoiler: Eesa was made into a god by the people of the world over a thousand years ago.]]
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler: The party defeating Luze/Eesa. There is also Alf and Clyde destroying the Real rock by themselves, and after both of them had [[TheBattleDidntCount fought the party!]]]]
* DoggedNiceGuy: Alf puts up with a lot of abuse for Adele's sake. [[spoiler: He even sticks with her after she orders him to [[MurderTheHypotenuse kill L'arc]] for her.]]
* TheDogWasTheMastermind: [[spoiler: Luze seems to be a minor character at first, who the party meets several times throughout the game, but it turns out she is Eesa, the final boss.]]
* DoorToBefore: The final dungeon thankfully provides one so the party can leave just before the final fight to stock up on items and upgrade their orbs if need be.
* TheDragon: [[spoiler: Ignacy to Hosea, and Ignacy also has his own Co-Dragons in Paula and Luna.]]
* DropTheHammer: Ryfia's Excel Act "Ryfia's Magic"; she conjures a ''huge'' hammer head [[HardLight out of light]] at the tip of her wand and smashes down.
* DualBoss: Paula and Luna.
* DungeonTown: Jada, temporarily.
* EasyLevelsHardBosses: Especially in the first half of the game.

* EyesOfGold: Ryfia and Paula.

* GottaCatchThemAll: The Rogress. To be fair, three of them are optional.
* [[spoiler: GreenEyedMonster: Adele]]
* [[spoiler: GuestStarPartyMember: Alf, during later parts of the game, including the final boss.]]
* HandicappedBadass: When you first meet Serge, you find him to be an ex-thief, a smooth talker, cleaver, charismatic, and one of the best magic users the game has to offer. [[spoiler: Then you find out he was THE Legendary Leon, leader of the Lord Knights, which surprises the group greatly as he doesn't fit the criteria at all. Turns out that before Ignacy crippled his sword arm, he was a feisty sword fighter AND magic user and the best there was. [[KidHero All at the age of FOURTEEN!]]]]

* IfICantHaveYou: Good lord, [[spoiler: Adele]]!
* InformedEquipment: Just like most other {{JRPGs}}, you can never see any armor your characters put on, and they will all wield their first weapons in any cutscenes. The clothes you can buy for them also only show up on the status screen.
* ItGotWorse: [[spoiler: After Alf takes over the Empire from Weiss, he starts imposing curfews and strict rationing on everyone in the empire. Weiss may have been an imperialist bastard, but at least he did not curtail his citizen's freedoms.]]
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Alf is almost as bad as [[BreathOfFireIV Yuna]] in this regard.]]

* MyNameIsNotDurwood: An early RunningGag in the game was everyone calling Rastan 'Leon' because Zamuel said it as he arrived. [[spoiler: Turns out to be a misunderstanding on his part, as it's really '''[[LoveableRogue SERGE]]''' who is Leon, despite everyone believing, up to that point, that Rastan was really Leon.]]
--> '''Rastan''': For the millionth time, NO.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: The Deathchanter you meet at Jada [[spoiler: is really Dynos.]]
** The Lord Knights themselves: Zamuel the Crimson Mist, Witchblade Rex, and Lightning Leon.
*** The Rogress also get intimidating powers to go for their names: Simmah, the Logos of Deliverance; Girtab, the Logos of Domination; Absin, the Logos of Judgment, etc.
**** [[spoiler: Then there's L'Arc, who thanks to the events at Antrax, is called 'Lagoon the Cursed' over at Turmelia, and at one point 'Deathbringer' thanks to Alf's rule]]
* NamesTheSame: Cecille? [[LuminousArc The Twilight Witch?]]
** Alf is pronouced A-ru-fu(アルフ) which can also be translated as, "Alph".
** Niko name is part of "Nikolai".
** [[LuminousArc2 Luna is very thristy]].
** Adelle's name also very similar to Althea up to their [[spoiler:{{Yandere}}]]'s part. Did I mentioned that both were voiced by EmiriKato?

* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:Rastan/Oigen, Cecille and Dynos. Possibly Ryfia as well.]]
** The entire cast as well looks a little older than you'd expect from JRPG heroes. L'Arc, for instance, is only meant to be seventeen but given his attitude and occupation he seems like he could be about twenty.
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler: Luze's second and final form.]]
* OperaGloves: Adele's outfit.
* OptOut: Niko
* PeekABangs: Weiss is a borderline example, as a lock of hair usually hides his left iris - and as a result, his [[MismatchedEyes heterochromia]].
* PimpedOutDress: Quite a few, such as Adele, Luze, Paula and Luna.
* PrettyInMink: Adele's outfit, the puff balls on Luna's ParasolOfPain.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Dynos.
* RedOniBlueOni: Paula and Luna shows heavy shades of this. Paula an aggressively voiced fighter in red who uses mostly fire and wind spells(the offensive elements), while Luna is a soft voiced magic user in blue who uses water and earth spells(the defensive elements).
* RespawningEnemies: All of the monsters in the over world, sometimes right before your eyes. Any monsters in a dungeon area will respawn every time you leave the room and come back.
* TheReveal: Two big ones right after Gula church, where Ignacy finally shows his face and [[spoiler:Leon is revealed to be Serge, not Rastan/Oigen]].
* RoseHairedGirl: Adele and Leslie. They're respectively more on the red and pink sides of the spectrum.
* SayItWithHearts: Leslie
* ShaggyDogStory: For Paula and Luna, the ''We Challenge You!'' sidequest involved running around all over the world searching for hidden clues, at the end of the search, the whole thing was revealed to be [[spoiler:a prank left behind by Zamuel meant for anyone who happens upon his clues.]]
* ShipperOnDeck: Cecille sort of acts as this towards L'Arc and Ryfia.

* StealthMentor: [[spoiler: Arguably Weiss, and later Clyde, to L'Arc.]]
* {{Stripperific}}: '''Leslie'''. Oh, dear sweet Leslie.
** Ryfia might marginally qualify; while her dress is ''very'' modest, especially for a JRPG heroine, the hemline of her dress is really high up her[[DistractedByTheSexy ... <Ahem> legs]].
* SummonMagic: L'Arc's [[spoiler: and Alf's]] ability to summon the [[{{Mons}} Rogress]].
* SuperMovePortraitAttack: The first thing a Trinity Act does when activated is showing the three participants' pictures in {{Ass Kicking Pose}}s. Same with the more-powerful Excel Trinity Acts.
* TakeAThirdOption: [[spoiler: L'Arc makes up his own "Law" instead of choosing either Real or Imaginal's Law. His Law saves both the Common and Divine races.]]
* TraumaInn
* TwoGuysAndAGirl: L'Arc, Alf, and Adele.
* UndergroundMonkey: A lot of the enemies are just slightly different versions of other enemies.
* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: [[spoiler:Adele]].

* [[spoiler:WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: ... And when Luze finally wakes up, she learns that people are planning to kill her to "free themselves". This causes her to reject L'Arc's Law that will save both the Common Race and the Divine Race by neutralising the Hozone, as such a world would have no need of her.

''Arc Rise Fantasia'' is a Console RPG on the {{Wii}}, developed by imageepoch, the studio behind the LuminousArc series.
Developed under the title ''Project Ray'', it shares the same project title with another game by the same developers, ''SandsOfDestruction''. Arc Rise Fantasia, however, in essence, can be considered a [[SpiritualSuccessor title in spirit]] of the LuminousArc series, because of a handful of similarities with it.
----
!!Tropes presented by ''ArcRiseFantasia'':
* AerithAndBob: Mostly Aerith names like Ryfia and Rastan/Oigen, though there are "normal" ones like Alfonse and Leslie.
* AlchemicElementals: All four takes the form of floating magic wands
* AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield: The Rogress battles, as well as the final boss.
* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: The various short songs sung by Ryfia and [[spoiler:Adele]], such as "Imaginal Song" and "Song of Ruin" are in a significant-sounding, pleasant, but unknown and likely gibberish "language."
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Meridian Princes Alf and Weiss, General Clyde, Turmelian Operative Leslie, and QED Commander Ignacy all have their share of command, as well as fighting prowess. Also First Sergeant L'Arc and Imaginal Diva Ryfia, to a lesser extent. [[spoiler:Not to mention Real Diva Adele and Patriarch Hosea, though the latter got his power via Imaginal]].
* BadassLongcoat: Rastan/Oigen, natch.
* TheBattleDidntCount: [[spoiler: This happens when the party fights Alf in the Verct skywalk. He is defeated, but apparently still has enough energy to take on the Real rock with Clyde (Who was also defeated by the party right before Alf, but at least had the dignity to look injured).]]
* BettyAndVeronica: With Adele as Betty (being L'Arc's childhood friend and claiming that she loves him like a brother despite her obvious jealousy) and Ryfia as Veronica (the MysteriousWaif from an enemy country and so harshly sheltered you'd think she was from another planet).
* BlindIdiotTranslation: Not so much the translation as the execution. Ignition already got quite a bit of flack from pulling this during VisualNovel/LuxPain, but the voice actors don't match up with the lines, the wording is awkward, quite a few lines are changed, and the quality of the dub is a whole other story. Luckily, simply turning off the voices clears up quite a bit of the chaos.
* BloodlessCarnage: Even when someone suffers an injury in a cutscene, there is still no blood.
* BossRemix: The theme "A Grand Existence," which plays while battling the Rogress, is a remix of the music that plays in the opening FMV, "Meridian 2nd Hikoutei Squad."
* ButtMonkey: Niko.
* CassandraTruth: Not only the characters, but almost all players automatically assume that [[spoiler:Rastan/Oigen is Leon, despite the fact that he corrects this at every opportunity]].
* CombinationAttack: Trinity Acts, and [[spoiler:Excel Trinities]].
** The twin Lolita girls, Paula and Luna, have one of their own called "Magical Gemini"[[hottip:* :Oddly, the attack name is written in Hiragana, which is usually for words of Japanese origin.]].
* ContinuityNod: Quite a lot of facts hint the game's possible connection to the LuminousArc series.
** The word "Arc" in the title.
** The Kopins.
** The currency used in LuminousArc 1 & [[LuminousArc2 2]], "Rico".
** [[spoiler: Lucia, Vanessa and Saki, are {{BonusBoss}}es in the arena.]]
* CuteBruiser: For being only 12, Cecille packs quite a punch.
** Niko learns the hard way.
* DeusExHomine: [[spoiler: Eesa was made into a god by the people of the world over a thousand years ago.]]
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler: The party defeating Luze/Eesa. There is also Alf and Clyde destroying the Real rock by themselves, and after both of them had [[TheBattleDidntCount fought the party!]]]]
* DoggedNiceGuy: Alf puts up with a lot of abuse for Adele's sake. [[spoiler: He even sticks with her after she orders him to [[MurderTheHypotenuse kill L'arc]] for her.]]
* TheDogWasTheMastermind: [[spoiler: Luze seems to be a minor character at first, who the party meets several times throughout the game, but it turns out she is Eesa, the final boss.]]
* DoorToBefore: The final dungeon thankfully provides one so the party can leave just before the final fight to stock up on items and upgrade their orbs if need be.
* TheDragon: [[spoiler: Ignacy to Hosea, and Ignacy also has his own Co-Dragons in Paula and Luna.]]
* DropTheHammer: Ryfia's Excel Act "Ryfia's Magic"; she conjures a ''huge'' hammer head [[HardLight out of light]] at the tip of her wand and smashes down.
* DualBoss: Paula and Luna.
* DungeonTown: Jada, temporarily.
* EasyLevelsHardBosses: Especially in the first half of the game.
* ElegantGothicLolita: Paula & Luna. Bonus points for being twins.
* [[HairDecorations Every Coward Is Cuter With Hair Decs]]: Seriously, Niko, what is that on your head? [[GogglesDoNothing Goggles?]] [[CoolShades Sunglasses?]] [[HairDecorations Headband?]] Throw us a bone, here!
* EvilCostumeSwitch: [[spoiler:Adele]]
* EvilOldFolks: [[spoiler: Ignacy]]
* EyesOfGold: Ryfia and Paula.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler: Luze/Eesa]]
* [[spoiler: FaceHeelTurn: Alf, Clyde and Adele.]]
* FlatEarthAtheist: L'Arc. You'd think that after being able to summon a powerful deity when needed, he'd be more willing to accept the existence of gods. Guess not.
* GentlemanThief: One of Serge's outfits invokes this trope.
* GlobalAirship: The party gets one midway through the game.
* GottaCatchThemAll: The Rogress. To be fair, three of them are optional.
* [[spoiler: GreenEyedMonster: Adele]]
* [[spoiler: GuestStarPartyMember: Alf, during later parts of the game, including the final boss.]]
* HandicappedBadass: When you first meet Serge, you find him to be an ex-thief, a smooth talker, cleaver, charismatic, and one of the best magic users the game has to offer. [[spoiler: Then you find out he was THE Legendary Leon, leader of the Lord Knights, which surprises the group greatly as he doesn't fit the criteria at all. Turns out that before Ignacy crippled his sword arm, he was a feisty sword fighter AND magic user and the best there was. [[KidHero All at the age of FOURTEEN!]]]]
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: [[spoiler: Dear God Alf, make up your mind. One minute you help us, the next you try and kill us.]]
* HeroComplex: Cecille.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Niko]]
* HeyItsThatVoice
** L'Arc: [[VisualNovel/{{Clannad}} Okazaki Tomoya]] and [[BlazBlue Hazama]].
*** So ''[[BlazBlue that's]]'' [[ActorAllusion why]] [[FridgeBrilliance he's]] [[spoiler:[[RageAgainstTheHeavens intent on killing Eesa]]]].
*** And in English, he is voiced by Brett Coleman, who's done voice acting for a few AceCombat games, and is in a ton of Japanese commercials (working dubbing and live action), including the one for Super Metroid.
** Ryfia: [[TsubasaReservoirChronicle Sakura]].
** Alfonse: [[GundamSeed Athrun Zala]], [[JukenSentaiGekiranger Bae]] and [[KamenRiderKiva Tatsulot]].

** Adele: [[Anime/LuckyStar Hiragi Kagami]], [[LuminousArc2 Althea]] and [[SoulEater Blair]].

** Niko: [[AkaneIroNiSomaruSaka Nagase Jun'ichi]] and [[{{Yumeria}} Mikuri Tomokazu]].
*** His English voice actor, Samuel Rose, likely voiced John Mayor, the main character of the Sega Saturn game DeepFear. His performance is similar (although somehow worse more than ten years later), and the actor for John Mayor is known as "Sam Rose".
** Serge: [[VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia Lloyd Irving]], [[{{Karin}} Usui Kenta]], [[BloodPlus Haji]], [[DGrayMan Komui Lee]], [[BambooBlade Ishida Toraji]], [[SamuraiDeeperKyo Mibu Kyoshiro]] and many different {{Anime/Pokemon}}.
** Cecille: [[ToLoveRu Lala Stalin Deviluke]], [[{{Kannagi}} Nagi]], and ''many'' more.
** Rastan: [[LuminousArc Leon]], [[MetalGearSolid Sigint and Drebin]], [[FinalFantasyVII Reno]], [[FullMetalAlchemist Maes Hughes]].
*** [[IKnewIt I KNEW]] [[ActorAllusion HE WAS LEON ALL ALONG!]]
