A young boy hailing from another world where tales are passed down of the Crystals and the Warriors of Light. Like Luneth, Arc is an orphan raised by Elder Topapa in the village of Ur. Very mature for his age, he would rather spend his time reading books instead of playing outside. This leads other children in the village to bully him and call him a coward, which prompts him to head for the neighboring village of Kazus alone to fight off the ghosts apparently haunting it in order to prove them wrong.

Background Story

5★	A young boy hailing from another world where tales are passed down of the Crystals and the Warriors of Light. Like Luneth, Arc is an orphan raised by Elder Topapa in the village of Ur. Very mature for his age, he would rather spend his time reading books instead of playing outside. This leads other children in the village to bully him and call him a coward, which prompts him to head for the neighboring village of Kazus alone to fight off the ghosts apparently haunting it in order to prove them wrong.
6★	A young boy hailing from another world where tales are passed down of the Crystals and the Warriors of Light. Arc set off on a journey as one of the chosen Warriors of Light to save the world with his childhood friend Luneth, the blacksmith's adopted daughter Refia, and Castle Sasune's soldier Ingus. They faced many trials and tribulations during their adventures, but Arc, who had gained so much knowledge from the books he loved to read, is said to have never failed in presenting a solution to all the problems they encountered time and time again.
7★	A young boy hailing from another world where tales are passed down of the Crystals and the Warriors of Light. Arc set off on a journey as one of the chosen Warriors of Light to save the world along with his friends. Though an avid book reader and a gentle soul, his low self-esteem always made him feel wanting. When he and his friends visited Saronia as part of their journey, they met the exiled Prince Alus, whom Arc helped to gain confidence. This, of course, changed Arc himself as well, helping him grow into the person he was meant to be.

Fusion

5★	I think that made me a little bit stronger. I have to try even harder, now...
6★	There are so many things in this world that you can't learn from books.
7★	Seeing someone giving it their all really motivates you to be courageous yourself.

Awakening

Notes

Gameplay

• Arc has a variation: Black Mage Arc.
• The ability Raze cannot be used in the arena.

Trivia

• One of the main characters of the 3D remake of Final Fantasy III.
