Good that MMV found a good publisher, the last publisher that published their latest console game seemed to be lazy on purpose.ivysaur12 said:

Looks really nice. What's with all the Wii-related announcements lately? Are we starting to see that long-theorized shift occur over in Japan?

Hurrah! I mean, I have nothing against Luminous Arc so much, in that's mostly inoffensive and mediocre, and perhaps the sequel is better, but I feel much more comforted in knowing the teams differ.
I finally feel like in the next couple of years RPGs are starting to flow out, that's awesome. Hope to see a PSP offering soon, it's getting lonely at the moment.
Info on battle system:
"In Arc Rise Fantasia you hunt impure dragons and battle monsters with the Trinity Battle system on the Wii. The initial twist is AP (action points) is in a common pool for your three characters. Players have to decide if they want to invest all of their AP on a single party member or evenly distribute it. If you want to utilize powerful techniques you can spend individual SP to perform an Excel Act. However, it looks like the key to the Trinity Battle system is linking attacks with other party members with Tandem Connect and Party Connect commands."

Om nom nom nom.
Seriously, this game came out of no where and blew me away.

It is kind of amazing how Square got it so right with the DS but called the console generation completely wrong.CrisKre said:
I wonder what tipped Marvelous off.

I think the fact that MMV deals with smaller budgets, made the Wii an obvious choice.
They probably looked at the dev kits of the other hardware, said "there's no way that the majority of games we finance will have a budget that can exploit this hardware" and went with the safe bet.ShockingAlberto said:
Funny thing is, their success will allow them to grow, allowing for bigger investment on the Wii titles they publish. I think they will be the first example of Wii growing the industry beyond userbase.

They were the first third party behind it, though.Busaiku said:
Sure, nothing materialized for a long time, but they were right beside Nintendo at the unveil and promising remakes and new games.

I finally found the original high-res teaser artwork of Project Ray!
Found it at Siliconera.

Well, they certainly can't do a worse job than the publisher of NMH in NA.

I swear if Ubi gave NMH at least a 10 second TV spot on a popular network like MTV, then it would've sold much better.AceBandage said:

Why look at scans when there are direct feed screenshots in this very thread!

This looks interesting. I've never really played a traditional JRPG. Perhaps this will introduce me into the genre?

That's due to scans being against the rules now in here.
They're never hard to find anyway.

Should be simple enough to understand.
Not sure how complex the shared AP system will go, though.
Either way, if this turns out as good as it looks, it would certainly be a great RPG to begin with.

The art style in that concept art is a lot more original than what I'm seeing so far in the screenshots... too bad.

Could be one of the cities in the game. We don't really know, since we've really only seen battle screens.

That's good. RPG's have always been intimidating to me. I mean I enjoy Action RPG's, but mostly because of the action portion.AceBandage said:

No, there's one city, I think... looks like a pretty standard JRPG fantasy place.
Character design isn't exactly diffrent either. Hero with giant sword? I think I've seen that a few times before... I was just saying that that concept art made it look a bit more unique, but it isn't, it seems. Oh well, it certainly could be a pretty good game anyway.

Looks great.
They also had a close history with Nintendo via Harvest Moon... Wada's always been a strong Nintendo supporter, even in the "dark days" of N64/GCN.AceBandage said:
Same with Wii honestly... FFCC was the first (real) 3rd party game announced iirc. And I'd argue their first year Wii lineup (DQ Swords, Chocobo Dungeon, VC support) was just as significant as DS for them (Hanjuku DS, Slime Morimori 2).ShockingAlberto said:
