VGC Hands-on: Arc Rise Fantasia

VGC writes: "Konnichiwa; JRPG fans, manga lovers, stat geeks, otakus, etc. Marvelous just recently released in Japan an old school JRPG, Arc Rise Fantasia. With an expected overseas release of "Fall 2009," we won't be seeing the game or rather be able to understand it until well into 2009. God bless importers then, as a Japanese copy reached this previewer's hands. After an extensive playthrough (I haven't yet finished the game though) I think it's safe to write up a small preview so that you can come to know what to expect when your US or PAL copy starts spinning."
