ARF: Side-quests vs. Straightfowardness

[7Elementzs]

I heard somewhere that Arc Rise Fantasia is full of side quest and extra bosses(kinda like Nostalgia which was a fun game i still play it trying to get 100% on everything) which makes up for the ARF ending not being as epic as it should be. Maybe those blogs and/or review i read were just opinions. I also notice that you could find and battle more Rogresses to obtain them. But now hopefully i can get a straight answer. It your opinion does it have more side-quests? and does it have an ending or an ending/Epilogue with more quest unlock after game completion?

-Cant wait only 5 more months XD.

I played the game in Japanese (With only menus in English) so I can only be of so much help but...

Yeah there are definitely side quests. All the major towns have a guild and you can choose from lots of different side quests to complete. I almost never mess with side quests when I can't follow all the text so I unfortunately I haven't messed with them much.

There is Rogress collection and some can be missed if you screw up certain sequences. I don't know if any side quests will lead to new Rogress but when collecting them in the main quest some are optional.

If I find some time I'll mess around with it more to see if there's a New Game+ or whatever worked in (I honestly can't remember, been several months since I beat this and I had to speed run it).

Okay thank you and good luck with the best RPG coming to American's Wii's and already the best in RPG on Wii in Japan. I will keep my excitement bond until it comes out.
Another question: I also saw that the Japanese version had a art book that came with it(also like Nostalgia) will american audience get is as well if we pre-order the game and/or will there be another special pre-order gift we will receive?

wow awesome only two more month left. :3 but I read on Facebook that those pre-order gift are the opposite, as the ones pre-ordering off Amazon got the ARF Trading Card and the ones pre-order at GameStop get the Character Cell lol

You're right, I reversed those! Whopps!

I'm strangely excited for the Amazon pre-order. Something about collectible trading cards makes me feel like a teenager again, so I will definitely be ordering from them. Of course, if I knew what a character cell was, I may decide differently, but as it stands now I have no idea what that is, so Amazon shall have my business, hah.
