Back in the early 90s, Nintendo was the safe heaven of Japanese Role Playing Games. Arguably the most popular titles like Dragon Quest from Enix and Final Fantasy from Square; were the games that fans of the genre considered for owning a Nintendo console.
However with the release of Final Fantasy 7 and Square's decision to jump ship from 2d to 3d with the Playstation, Nintendo lost a valuable asset in their gaming inventory. It also did not helped when Enix and Square have officially merged into one big company in 2003.
As far as the JRPG goes, most japanese developers and their english localizations have jumped into the Playstation bandwagon in that era.
If one would look at the JRPG line up that was released in the west, the Nintendo consoles since the N64 pales in comparison with the Playstation 1, Playstation 2 and Playstation 3.
Although the Nintendo Wii had popular exclusive Japanese Role Playing Games that were localized, there were only a few to choose from that truly captured the old school JRPG sensibilities yet also trying out something new.
On my search for the next JRPG to play and review, one game has struck my curiosities above all else within Nintendo Wii's limited JRPG catalogue.
On this video non-spoiler review, we are going to talk about Arc Rise Fantasia for the Nintendo Wii.
