Arcturus: The Curse and Loss of Divinity Korean RPG developed by Gravity and Sonnori (Ragnarok Online) and published by Falcom in Japanese, with the English translation mod applied.

This game and The Rhapsody of Zephyr are often thought to have influenced Falcom into making Trails in the Sky the game it was (some instead attribute it to influence of the Gagharv trilogy), and playing through this game you can see some of the influences. The truth is, Arcturus is an unfinished game, and it shows in quite a number of places.

Elluard Prologue is considered 'Medium' difficulty, but it is VERY short compared ot the Sizz Prologue (which is boring as heck).

Editorial: This game is further modded by myself to include the Limited Edition content and some other fixes here and there. The fact is it's a very easy game to mod once you unpack the game's .PAK file (it's encoded the same way as early Ragnarok Online was packed) and even moreso since the scripting language is in plain English (although it helps to have Korean Language installed, and Japanese Language installed for the Japanese version).

Playing and modding this game had been a lifelong ambition of mine for a very long time, for perhaps as far back as 2003 when Falcom first published it in Japan (Celine's character design had a really strong influence in how I drew Kurumi for Wanderers of Sorceria). And of course finding out the game is nothing like the opening movie is hilarious when you really think about it. The only other thing I wish I could play The Rhapsody of Zephyr in English, too (similarly so, Kana Milanovich was a strong design influnece on Kurumi, to the point where her placeholder portrait was Falcom's artwork for Kana recolored green).
