Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits

The world of Arc: Twilight of the Spirits is populated by two races: humans and Deimos. The two races prefer to avoid contact with each other, but both rely on the Spirit Stones to maintain balance in the world. Recently, the human army has begun sweeping across the land and conquering countries. This army is after the five great spirit stones. However, the spirits are determined to prevent this from happening. To achieve their goal, they choose two heroes who are able to unite the two peoples in a fight for justice. One of them is a human nobleman named Kharg, who hates the Deimos and seeks revenge; the other is a Deimos slave named Darc, who dreams of uniting and ruling his race. Will the two heroes be able to put aside their differences and save the world?... Arc: Twilight of the Spirits is the fourth installment in the Arc the Lad series. Like its two immediate predecessors, the game has tactical combat, in which the characters can freely position and move around the battlefield. However, the game is more of a "normal" Japanese-style role-playing game than a tactical RPG. The player controls a relatively small party (up to six active fighters) and can explore towns and dungeons as in a normal RPG. At the beginning of the game, the player takes control of Kharg, but after that the chapters alternate between the human hero and Darc, each with their own party. The characters can use a variety of techniques, collecting SP (spirit points) in the battles and using them to learn special attacks.
