* AllSwordsAreTheSame: Believable with say, Ryfia and Adele's Magic Staves, but Serge had several weapons that look less like throwing daggers and more like hooks! On the other hand, Alf and Rastan can't use any of L'Arc's Greatswords.



* FriendlyFire: Averted unless a character is Confused.



* GlobalCurrency: Even though the three countries of the game aren't exactly on the friendliest of terms, people of all three countries use the same currency. Apparently there's no national differentiation either, seeing that you can use it in Olquina and Turemilia without question even though you're undercover/wanted by the government. It's even usable on the Lascarde Skywalk!
** Could be [[JustifiedTrope justified]] if Rico has been a form of currency for millennia, and just somehow never changed over thousands of years.
** Could also be justified for Lascarde because they reportedly go down to land to retrieve supplies, and may have adapted to the changes of the Common Race.

An RPG on the UsefulNotes/{{Wii}}, developed by Creator/{{imageepoch}}.

Developed under the title ''Project Ray'', it shares the same project title with another game by the same developers, ''VideoGame/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.

->''In the center of this chaos, the god Eesa created Real and Imaginal in his own image. By picking the laws they represent, the hymn of ruination was destroyed and the paradise of Noire was born. So went the beginning of this world.''

''Arc Rise Fantasia'' is an EasternRPG
on the UsefulNotes/{{Wii}}, developed by Creator/{{imageepoch}}.

Creator/{{imageepoch}} and published by Marvelous Entertainment.

Fulheim is a world plagued by Feldragons, mysterious crystallization of the land, and tense relations between the countries that inhabit it, who are on the verge of war. The [[CrystalDragonJesus god Eesa]] has not been heard from for years, and so the world is losing its way, now headed on a path for destruction.

L'Arc Bright Lagoon is a legionnaire working for the [[TheEmpire Meridian Empire]], whose simple life is turned upside down when, on a mission gone awry, he has a fateful encounter with Ryfia, [[MysteriousWaif a strange girl who calls herself the Imaginal Diva]]. It doesn't take long before L'Arc is discovered to be the [[TheChosenOne Child of Eesa]], the one destined to present a Law to Eesa and bring prosperity and guidance to the world.

Or so the idea is supposed to go, at least. Needless to say, the truth ends up being far, far more complicated than that.

The game was released in Japan on June 4, 2009, and in North America on July 20, 2010.

* [[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. Even if she had lived, she'd [[TearJerker have lived forever alone and unneeded by the people to perform the duty that they themselves gave her]].]] Somebody give this girl a hug already!

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.
