Storyline IGDB
The game begins with a girl named Kukuru who is a member of the Sacred Clan in Seirya, a clan that protects the Flame Cion. She is sent by the mayor of her town to extinguish this flame, but once she does, a monster called an Ark Ghoul appears and Kukuru flees. Meanwhile, a boy named Arc prepares to look for his father Yoshua, who has been missing for ten years. He stumbles upon Kukuru and they both defeat the pursuing monsters. Arc makes a promise to Kukuru to reignite the flame for her, but he is quickly struck down by the powerful Ark Ghoul. As he lays defeated, Arc hears a voice call out to him. The voice is a Guardian, who revives Arc and tells him to reignite the flame. The Guardian also tells Arc that he will return here later to extinguish the flame and retrieve the Ark, a mystical box which will aid him in protecting the world; the Guardian finally adds that Arc's father made an agreement with the Guardians of the planet to protect humanity by the forecoming darkness. After hearing this, Arc reignites the fire and resealing the Ark Ghoul before it could kill Kukuru. Days later, after hearing of Arc's abilities, the king of Seirya summons him to Palencia Castle. As Arc heads to Palencia, Kukuru decides that it is her destiny to help him. Arc explains to the king that the guardian at the mountain had granted him power. In order to see if Arc truly is blessed by the guardians, the king's minister, Andel, insisted that they test him. The two were sent to battle some monsters where the party meets Poco of the drum corps, who was the only survivor from their latest patrol. After Arc returns, the king tells him that he must seek out the Ark in order to save humankind. The king recounts how his own brother, the former king, believed this story and has disappeared to find the Ark. He then tells Arc to seek an audience with the Forest Spirit of Toyoke Forest in Millmana.
Wikipedia Description WIKIPEDIA
Arc the Lad is a tactical RPG. In battle, the player has an area where each character may move, much like Final Fantasy Tactics or Tactics Ogre. The areas the player can move to are marked by blue tiles, and when using a melee attack on an enemy, the player can attack them at any reachable side. A cursor appears above enemies which can be attacked. If the player uses magic or special abilities to attack the enemy, a red set of tiles mark the range in which the spell or attack will reach. Unlike Final Fantasy Tactics, Arc the Lad is not isometric, and all tiles are the same size and shape. Compared to most tactical RPGs, Arc the Lad has smaller battlefields and fewer characters in battle, and offers a wider selection of actions. Outside of battle, the character must select given areas on a map to access them. For example, to reach a battlefield, dungeon, or castle, the player will be given a general world map, to which the player will pick a continent, then a map of the continent will be displayed. The player then must select a highlighted area to enter it. The game will always prompt the player to save once an area has been selected. Virtually no towns can be selected. Only dungeons, small areas, and fields may be selected. Once a player has selected an area, the character may have the ability to explore the entire area. Many areas, however, do not allow for such freedom. Typically, the player will select an area which may trigger an event, such as dialogue or battles. Most of the plot is given through dialogue during events as there are very few non-playable characters to give information on where the player must go to. The player can save after beating the final boss. This cleared save game data can be used to transfer characters' stats and attributes and items over to Arc the Lad II.
