Luminous Arc 2 will brighten up an otherwise dreary November

I knew it! I knew Atlus would step up and bring North America Luminous Arc 2: Will! It is bringing the DS strategic RPG as Luminous Arc 2 in November, 2008. In even better news, Atlus will be offering the same promotion with the translated version of the game that the Japanese version received – every copy of the game will come with a CD soundtrack. It will jack the price up $10, making the game $39.99, but at least you’re getting something special. IGN received the exclusive inside look at the game and the right to reveal the good news.

Luminous Arc 2 is a lot like Luminous Arc. There are witches, Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection battles with other users and the ability to bond with characters after battles. Except Luminous Arc 2 expands on it all. Roland and his friends, from Carnava, are charged with going after the Shadow Frost Witch, who has left the Rev Magic Association and hunkered down in the forbidden land of Granend. It has more side quests, branching story options and multiple endings.

Okay, I’m definitely asking for this for my birthday. This is why I love having a late birthday – I can capitalize on all the awesome holiday game releases. The first Luminous Arc was a lot of fun, and since the sequel supposedly adds more quests, characters and great stuff, I can’t wait to get it as well.
