Luminous Arc (video game)

[4] The latest entry in the series, Luminous Arc Infinity, was released for the PlayStation Vita in Japan on August 6, 2015.

Luminous Arc is a tactical role-playing game and uses a battlefield grid viewed from an isometric perspective.

It is important to note that, while normal attack skills can damage allies and healing skills can restore enemy HP, the effects of Flash Drives committed to their intended targets; for instance, it is impossible for a recovery Flash Drives to heal opponents.

An Intermission scene occurs after the ensuing plot dialogue, in which the player can have a short conversation with the previously selected character.

Though he claims that he will try to keep an eye on the characters and tell the story from his point of view,[9] the player actually learns more about Kopin's personality, philosophy, and possible love interests.

Items are won for each game played against a random opponent, with more being earned if the player is victorious.

According to the scriptures known as The Book of Mena of the Luminous Church, thousands of years ago Witches and Dragons fought all across the world to be the superior race.

The scriptures go on to continue that the saints prayed upon the barren land and eventually the God Zehaal replied to their prayers in beginning the Advent.

The actual game begins with the Garden Children, a group of people raised as an elite force for the Luminous Church.

They then, through the witches discover that the God of the Luminous Church, Zehaal, is trying to resurrect himself to consume the world.

After joining forces, the garden Children and the witches fight past members of the Luminous Church as well as vassals of Zehaal.

After injuring the Wings Of Doom he retreats to lick his wounds, and Lucia the Dawn witch decides to use a powerful yet self-destructive magic to finish him forever.

[3] The game's music was produced, mixed, and mastered by famed sound designer and composer Yasunori Mitsuda.

He, along with Akari Kaida, Kazumi Mitome, and Shota Kageyama, composed the music for the game.

"[24] However, 1Up.com rated the game as "average", calling it a "Final Fantasy Tactics Advance clone" because of its similar gameplay and overall feel.
