Story:Jeanne d'Arc is a tactical role-playing video game loosely based on the story of Joan of Arc and her struggles against the English occupation of France during the Hundred Years' War in the early 15th century.
The game has an amount of historical accuracy when it comes to the cast of characters, and contains many who were contemporaries and allies of Joan of Arc. This contrasts starkly with the many fantasy elements of the game, such as characters possessing magical armlets that give the wearer special abilities, and the suggestion that King Henry VI of England was possessed by demons and used them to aid his armies in destroying France during the Hundred Years' War.Show more

A very strange game, it plays around with historical figures like kids with with their dolls. Imagine Joan of Arc in a magical girl anime. The more you know about these people the more tickled/flabbergasted you become. But at the same time it's pretty fun. It's pretty straightforward if you've played games like Tactic Ogre: Reborn (and arguably has a better story than TO:R). Grinding is likely necessary but I don't remember it feeling like a slog to get through. Save often because you're given a couple choices that affect the story and your team line-up. The cut-scenes are great too.
This is a really great game. With an interesting plot an exciting characters. An anime version of the story of Jeanne d'Ark with magic and monsters. The gameplay is the typical tactics type but with a rock-paper-scissors twist, fun and not complicated.
