Hey guys, have you guys noticed that a lot of the old style RPG's seem to be dieing out and are being replaced by more modernized styles like Skyrim, or Fable? Don't get me wrong, I love Skyrim and my friends live Fable; however, the turn-based battle system has a certain place in my heart. That's why I'm writing this thread here about a turn-based RPG called "Arc Rise Fantasia".
Arc Rise Fantasia is a neat little turn-based RPG on the Wii, it tries to follow the traditional RPG style. It uses a character turn system that I've never seen before in these types of RPG's as well. At the top right of your screen while in-battle, you have something called "AP" which defines who will be attacking. Each players attacks require AP, so some players may not attack whereas some will. You get to decide.
Check this video out about it.

I haven't played Arc Rise Fantasia very long; however, right off the bat, the only thing that really unimpresses me a slight bit about this game is the voice acting. I love the graphics, the battle system and the fact that someone finally created a game using the ATB system.
