Arc the Lad: End of Darkness, known in Japan as Arc the Lad Generation (アークザラッド ジェネレーション), is a video game developed by Cattle Call for the PlayStation 2 (PS2). It is last game from the Arc the Lad series on the console, the first being Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits.
This is the only Arc game to, instead of a tactics-style battle system, feature a more of a real-time battle, online-play battle system. Generally, this was viewed as a step backwards for the series.
[edit] Gameplay
The basic mode of play requires the player to go to guilds around the world, taking on missions. To advance the story however, the player must speak to NPCs around the towns. The game features a real-time battle system new to the series, which many fans consider a detriment to the game's quality.
[edit] Online
A new feature to the Arc games, online play allows the player to either explore the world with friends or to go head on head in four on four battles. The online server was shut down June 16, 2006.
