- Wild ARMs is one of the most underrated JRPG franchises out there. It seems to have attempted a comeback quite recently, after its demise several years ago. Let's find out what the hell happened to it.
Support the show here:
/ ericklandon
The curse of the 5. Suikoden, Breath of Fire, Wild Arms. If your series can get past part 5, it can go anywhere. But that 5 can kill series...
The Chrono Pat 5 is the third best game. It was really good. Visually and storywise.
I didn't mean this comment as a fact that they sucked (although, BoF DQ...), but mostly that they stopped for some reason. Suiko 5 is excellent, and although I didn't finish Wild Arms 5, I liked what I played. Let's just pretend that Breath of Fire 6 doesn't exist for everyone's mental health...
Do Alter Code F and Crossfire not count?
i hope they remake suikoden 3 with current gen cell shading graphics, Breath of fire 4 would be nice as well.
Suikoden IV and Tactics were the low points of the series imo - V was refreshing
Wild Arms, my first game I played on PSX.
I miss Rudy, Filgaia, Lombardia & everything :'(
holy shit, same here. My first actual video game, actually.
Same here :) I love that first Wild Arms. It was my introduction to RPG.
When everyone was playing FFVII, the first game I got for my PS1 was Wild Arms, have never regretted my decision.
I miss the music
kind of a weird game to be your first ps1 game.
Wild Arms is dead, it's sitting in a dive bar next to Monster Rancher.
I finally got to experience this series thanks to the PlayStation Classic.
So far it’s a great game!
What the hell happen to legend of dragoon n legend of legaia ?
Gamers Gonline omg...I thought I was the only 1 who knew about those games...
Legend of Legaia duddddeee
legend of legaia had a trash sequel
yoooooooo legend of legaia
i loved that game; had great battle gameplay
@@grimsvaultstreaming3956 y bro but the gameplay is not bad
Another one of my beloved favorite rpg series the stories battles and soundtracks of all wild arms games are epic as hell screw the market
Oh wild arms. My favorite RPG series of all time. In fact I love it so much that it hugely inspires the novel series I'm writing. With a smattering of Wild Arms Easter eggs and cameos thrown about.
So you're a writer too! HIGH FIVE :D
Erick Landon RPG yes I am. :) I wrote fanfiction for years and now am writing original work that I hope to publish. My current WIP draws inspiration from Avatar the last Airbender, Steven universe, Wild Arms, and anime/JRPGs in general. Basically I take all the things I love, throw them in a bowl and see what I get. :)
I'd love to read it when it comes out!
Working on it now. Hoping to have book 1 done and ready to find a publisher by the end of this year into early next year.
I love this.
Just as I'm finishing the final boss of the original Wild Arms. Amazing game. Easily on my top 10 ps1 rpgs.
Thank you.
What the hell happen to breath of fire?
jones brave It ended at 4 and you can not convince me that a 5th and 6th game exists.
...there's a 6th game?
(And don't worry, BoF is on the list ;) )
Erick Landon RPG There was,Breath of Fire 6 was mobile only. They shut the service down so we can say it no longer exists.
Dragon quarter happened. God that game sucked
HAH!!! Breath of Fire VI happened. THat's the game that killed the series to me.
Damn now I want to play Wild Arms again. I'm sad for the new generations that will never experience these games.
i loved wild arms 4 and 5. their battle system and aesthetic is something very unique and enjoyable. theres still so much room in the market for games like those, especially with the wild west theme. im surprised no other notable jrpg has taken that theme ever since.
Matty K the battle system wasn't bad. It just didn't add too much either. But you could tell they wanted movement in the fighting neither the even more unnecessary movement of 3 that was uncontrollable
D. San it didn't have to bring too much. Whatever it brought made it unique enough. Every battle was like a mini tactical battle, and I loved the involvement of manual movement, because it made the games that much more interactive. Plus, it made sense. Just standing in front of the enemy waiting for your turn to act made final fantasy's characters up till FFX look stupid. Not to mention, it was hella boring. Movement adds such a large amount of possibilities, and wild arms 4/5 nailed that by bringing tactics into the regular battles.
I played 4 and quit near the end b/c I decided grinding levels over and over to spend at the black market wasn't worth it. I don't think I fought the final boss, but I got to the final dungeon, saw what kind of grinding I'd have to do to 100% the game, and moved on to the other game I had gotten around the same time. My biggest problem with 4 though was that tools got absolutely wrecked in that game. They used to be a huge part of what made the series fun in terms of exploration and map interaction. I could live with the hex battles, but no tools ruined it for me. I loved the tools in 2 and 3. 4 just...got rid of that, for no reason. And after seeing 4, I never played 5.
Nyonics I don't know how tools were used in 1-3 but four definitely had objects you needed to carry around, which were called tools. And in 5 those were replaced by different kinds of special bullets in your ARM which you carried around on the field all the time.
Yeah, 4 had "tools." They were garbage compared to the earlier games. IIRC in WA4 you could potentially find one of three objects in any given dungeon that you'd have to use within that same room to solve a bland puzzle. In the earlier games, each character gets 3 unique tools that can be used an infinite number of times to interact with the environment at any time.
A plain example: one character in WA2 gets the kick boots, bombs, and the earthquake. The first lets you kick things--you can kick blocks to solve switch puzzles, kick a computer to make it work (was even in a magazine ad for the game), etc. The bombs are pretty self-explanatory--blow stuff up, including breakable walls and barriers, or used to activate certain kinds of switches. The earthquake destroys all breakable objects in whatever room you use it in. Another character in the same game had the grappling hook, rad blades, and jump shoes--which let you grapple across pits, speed across floor tiles that normally damage you upon contact (e.g. lava), and high jump, respectively. Somebody had a radar tool that would locate chests and other secrets for you, somebody had a bell that would instantly summon an encounter, somebody had a familiar that could hover a certain radius away from them to activate switches or open unreachable chests, etc.
And there were cool tools like this in the first 3 WA games that were used WELL to enrich map interaction and puzzle-solving. Compared to them, WA4's "tools" were a cruel joke. It's okay though--you didn't know what you were missing out on so nobody can blame you for not knowing what you didn't know.
Thank you. Your video moved me. Wild Arms will always remain my favourite RPG series. How much I LOVED Michiko Naruke composition. The Barren Field theme from the 2nd Wild Arms is my ringtone since I bought a cell phone in 2004 and it was a midi version for those who remember this format 😊. I see that you used this theme in your video. You're a man of good taste. THANK YOU Mister, very much. There's so much more to say...
What the hell happened to Lunar?
Don't worry, I'll make that one too!
Far as I'm aware, Lunar ended with Eternal Blue; there's not really any way to expand the story, due to how it ended. Yeah, there was that DS game, but that was a prequel for Silver Star Story, iirc
61089loki Eh, I still think it's possible. Maybe difficult, but a little challenge might do Game Arts some good, in my opinion.
They did HD remake of Grandia and Grandia 2
If I remember correctly,, some of the Wild ARMS fans believe Senki Zesshou Symphogear is a spiritual successor in some form. Them whistles in Hibiki's song from later seasons.
what the hell happened to shadow hearts
I would kill for a new Shadow Hearts
Myself the same. After I finished Covenant... Man, a sequel with Kurando; or a prequel with Yuri´s father... Dreaming is free, at least
Agrenost some gambling company owns it.
Why they don’t give us at least Shadow Hearts HD collection T.T
My most favourite RPG franchise, never to have another entry...
Shadow Hearts will be done as well, don't worry, guys.
Hey Erick Landon RPG, did you know Wild Arms got released on the Playstation Classic Mini console as part of the 20 games lineup?
Wild Arms didn't really succeed commercially because it's players are segmented, like me..
The Lovers of the series actually are a lot, but they just enjoy it personally, not bragging out about it..
Wild Arms story is absolutely the main attraction for me, especially the 2nd..
I can talk about filgaia all day that time, and my friends just bragging about FF everyday..
It's like Wild Arms is a game for those who wanted a depth story in different way of RPG..
Wild Arms 2 is one of the best video games ive ever played in my entire life and i have beaten every JRPG on PS1, PS2, and PS4 cuz i only play JRPG genre games
@@Clouds12012 wow, I'm no pro at JRPG like you did, you do really have some good taste.. You are man of culture, my friend
What happened to legend of legaia?
An atrocious sequel, haha. But okay, I'll consider making a video about it.
Agreed that sequel just sullied my favorite rpg
Prokion bankrupt
@@ErickLandonRPG I played the Sequel first and it was a good game on it's own, but I had no idea wtf it had to do with Legend of Legaia after playing the first game.
Still one of my favorite opening song. Those whistles
beautiful whistles.
Thanks for making this video as a die-hard Wild Arms fan, we need more awareness to bring back the series in Full. I know we're just getting a mobile game but heck I'll take a mobile game just to get something going and maybe if it gets some great support from its fan base it may lead to more console releases
You're welcome, thanks for commenting!
It became the anime Senki Zesshou Symphogear
(I'm quarter kidding. Symphogear is written by Akefumi Kaneko, the writer and creator of WA, and has callbacks and uses the same mythological references too)
What the hell happened to...Phantasy Star, Shadow Hearts or Legend of Legaia.
All those are on the list, don't worry ;)
yeah, phantasy star....
Legaia only had two games so that's barely a franchise and Shadow Hearts had 4 games including Koudelka which is the prequel to the series.
Spacefrisian legaia killed itself with a shitty sequel that changed everything about the game.
Skys of arcadia? No love...
I Need the Remake the Wild Arms 2
:"v
Sebastian Martinez hell yeah!!! I would so love that. If I had the money I would do it myself!
Sebastian Martinez 2 is probably the least talked about game in the series. I never played it. so I wonder why
Wild arms 2 is my favorite in my opinion, the history and the combat system was cool, first time playing a rpg where mana doesn't matter and i could use a lot of spells on the enemys. :)
Matty K the story and gameplay was pretty good. While the story might follow the hero route all the way through, there was nothing typical about it. I enjoyed every minute of it and the crazy puzzles it had.
By Level 5 :)
Wait, the same people who made Wild ARMs also made Chaos Rings? That's crazy to me. I was obsessed with Chaos Rings as a teenager
I try, and fail to get more than 20 minutes into Wild Arms 3 it seems like such a bummer of a sequel, but after seeing your opinion I'm going to try one more time to get a little further & see if anything developes ✌️
Found your channel about a week ago. Love your content. Been watching a lot of your Videos .You just got a subscriber 👍
Thank you!!!
The fate of Wild Arms and its drifters is but a rumor in the desert winds...
And a shame, because it had some great ideas and took a completely different approach to classical RPG themes (the Wild West for Filgaia's sake!). Sure, it has magic, super lost technology, and primordial forces summoned at the cost of the lives of people, but damn! The Filgaia multiverse (hinted in Wild Arms 2 and clearly stated in XF) is a cool thing indeed. Love its lore.
I love wild arms 4 and what the hell happend i wanna see a new one where ill see raquel,jude,arnaud,julie im not sure if raquel is still alive but i was a fan of her character °^°
gumiya,s theory She died in the ending story credits. Arny states to it in his own way. Has a daughter.
Why did I found her in wildarms 5 °^°
kaito,s theory several past characters appeared in wild arms 5 as cameo appearances. They weren't canon.
Matty K awwwwwww i thought she,s still alive
kaito,s theory nope she dead lol
Wild Arms 2 is my second favorite videogame ever made (next to FF7 ofcoarse) gane magazines destroyed it for SUCH PETTY REASONS! I would rather have a badly translated game than have no game at all geez
I remember playing the first wild arms as a kid, first rpg ever and I fell in love. So glad you made a video on this. Wild Arms series is totally slept on by a lot of gamers.
Yeah, it's a very cool series.
WildArms 2 was one of my favorite games when I was younger, and was the first game I ever actually finished.
I also didn't know anything past 3 came out, kinda excited to go back and have a look at them now.
Really loved the Original Wild Arms, I felt like I was playing an old school shonen anime with mysterious demonic bosses and heroes with guns, Robots and magic.
I liked how the 3 heroes all feel like main characters instead of one spiky haired protagonist and his posse amd it really felt like the stakes were high from the beginning instead of the MC doing something small and then finding out a conspiracy later on whicj is what most RPGs did at the time.
Wild Arms 2 was ok too but I guess it focused more on having a power ranger theme, I didnt like it as much as the first one.
what the hell happened to emuparadise ?
I managed to grab an original copy of Alter Code F, had to import it even because I couldn't find it anywhere
Wild Arms, Suikoden, Growlancer, Langrisser. How we miss you.
Sony doesnt want to bother with this franchise anymore. They have dropped most of their old franchises.
Yup sadly
New Wild Arms plz! Imo one of the best RPGs and games out there. Wild Arms 1 is awesome and 3 is also really good!
I'd not say XF had balancing issues, quite the contrary the balancing was great and required lots of outside of the box thinking, while not relying on the player having metaknowlwde about what classes would be most relevant for the upcomming encounter since the way the class system worked enabled you to practically become max level version of whatever primary class you pick. The difficulty was treated more like a puzzle game and the only stats you increased with leveling were HP and MP everything else was equipment and your class, sort of like FF V or bravely default.
Nikodem R Right! XF was a very fun game because it made you use your brain to overcome seemingly impossible battles, and when you pieced together the puzzle it felt incredibly rewarding.
Wild Arms 2 was the first JRPG I played. I honestly never even saw the reviews; my roommates in college has a PS1, and it looked interesting, so I picked it up. Two decades later, I still remember it.
Dude, I love your videos! It's great to have a brother out there loving the hell out of JRPG's like yourself. Saludos desde Chile!
Gracias!!!
I have 3, 4 and XF. I could never get into 3, I liked 4 and beat it. I liked XF, but about an hour into the game, there was this ridiculous mission where you have to run around the town that I couldn't beat.
almightycinder XF Requires you to use your brain, kek.
Sony Computer Entertainment JP was shut down. That's why it vanished
Thanks for this reminder of this wonderful series. While I personally would prefer Wild Arms 6 over going straight to a mobile game after so long, I'll definitely be going back to the older games and would like to eventually help try to get the word out on these games more. These really are great games, and I'd love to see the series again on PS4 with a proper Wild Arms 6, if Sony ever sees fit to finally get back in touch with Media Vision again.
I actually very much enjoyed the first 3 games of Wild Arms, I need to buy another copy of the first one as I used to own it, lent it to a friend, and he pretty much destroyed the disk. I was so angry with him, I own the second one which I'm not letting anyone borrow it, as I bought it back in 1999 when it first came out here and loved it, and I still have that copy and it still works 21 years later. Unlike some of my friends I treat my video games and video consoles with proper respect. The third one I round up renting it one day thinking it wasn't going to be as good as the first two but decided to give it a go, and I was very much enjoying it. The fourth one I played a demo of it and hated it, I did not like the battle setup... and I had no idea that they had done a 5th one until like 6 years ago. Maybe one day I'll track down a copy and try it, not guaranteeing that I will but... maybe.
it will probably be a mobile game with stamina system. the characters of your team will be the varius characters of all the previous games obtainable from a rng gacha loot box. this is what "million memories" suggest me.
It’s a shame people didn’t like the hex based battles. I loved the hell out of it.
Me too.
Thank you for what you said about WA2 i appreciate your appreciation for Wild Arms 2
I *loved* Wild Arms 1 and 2. Heck, Wild Arms 2 is one of my favorite RPGs of all time. I tried playing 3 but it bored me to tears... And I've never even tried the rest of the series. I have fond memories of it, but that's where it's going to stay - in memories.
Wild arms 1: A nostalgic master piece
Wild arms 2: Sorry didn't play you.
Wild arms 3: Play it a little, pretty good. ( I have a copy)
Wild Arms Alter Code F: Such a cool title, i never got a copy, sadly. Play it a little, remake of an awesome game.
Wild arms 4: Predecessor of my favorite Wild arms gameplay, thank you for your gameplay, didn't play you tho xD
Wild arms 5 : Amazing game, freaking love it, good gameplay, fun team ups attacks and fantastic music. ( I have a copy).
Wild Arms XF: Play a little, it was fun. RIP that this was the end of the franchise.
I want a remaster collection of all of them. Such an amazing franchise, that was forgotten to time.
XSEED could've saved this franchise as they're known for releasing games from franchises that aren't so hot here in the States but they at least have an audience.
I loved the wild arms one. Love the music in the beginning
It would be outstanding if they ever released a compilation of Wild Arms, Wild Arms 2, Wild Arms 3, Wild Arms:Alter Code F, Wild Arms 4 and Wild Arms 5 at least.
This could even be done a few months to a year or so before an official console sequel comes out.
I wanna know is what was the magician girl doing in the Pharaoh's Millennium Puzzle?
It's better than nothing! *Mighty #9*
Just searched for the mobile game on the play store and it wasn't there 🤷🏼♂️
I only played wild arms 2 and I really loved and enjoyed that game so much
You should play the first one.
Really well done video! I was not expecting that. I love Wild Arms and old RPG's. Keep the good content coming friend. :)
Thank you.
I loved the first Wild Arms. I never played the others. I need to get them
Same as me, I loved the first one but have never had time to play the others.
I remember trying to buy Wild Arms 4 and 5 in Gamestop...
Those dang prices never drop.
Also, we got news on the phone game now!
Yeah, I know, and, well... I have no comment =/
one of the best series. what a memory :(
Legend of Legaia dang this game was so epic. Wish to play it again on the ps4 etc.
If we ever do get another Wild Arms I hope it's design after Wild Arms 3. That cel look holds up so well even now.
2:37
when i heard this, i truly cursed those websites and magazines
people whose only interested in skimpy-outfitted heroine shouldn't review anything
For me Wild Arms as a Series is one of the best RPGs made.
i played wild arms 4 in 2010 and rly want to play it again :'(
What happened to Battle Arena Toshinden?
Guys, the Wild Arms 4 game is the only game at PS2 not PS4?
I just get the new soundtracks now. I don't have the time properly play them anyway.
I loved Wild Arms specially the first 3 because its not only about battle, you have to use your brain too.
What the hell happened to saga frontier, front mission, grandia, legend of legaia,alundra, and brave fencer musashi
While shadow hearts 2 is my favorite game of all time, wild arms 3 still has one of my favorite stories. It sit at 3rd place of my favorite games.
Lightdragoon88 shadow hearts 2... i see you are a man of culture then. Same here I love sh1 and 2 but sh3 not so much as 1 and 2.
Hi Erick
I'm from Brazil , thank you to bring the best jrpg series for me , Wild Arms is so unique ! Music, Tools System , Puzzles , Characters...
I love this game so much .. specially the first one ! i'm so sad when i knew the next game will be for phone.... it seems like a generic game which you can play with all chartacters in wild arms like Final Fantasy mobile game.
Personally, my all time favs were Wild Arms 2 and Alter Code: F. I checked to see if there were any new games for the series a few years ago and learned the sad news too. I'm amazed that they didn't do well. Though it contained the same formula as most JRPGs, it told the story in its own unique and interesting way in a theme very few games touch on. I'm not a huge fan of mobile games, but I'll look out for this one.
Sad to know that wild arms 2 was never released in Europe. It has one of the nicest BG music in RPG PS1 era. Even though developers weren't able to animate some of the major events in the game. A cheap FMV would do it at the time but they chose to do it with stills.
I feel sad now cause I never knew about the Wild Arms 1 remake in North America. I really liked Wild Arms 1. It was a great RPG and I liked the old school 2D look of the game outside the battles. My only complaint is they didn't make the whole game look 2D. You could do some amazing 2D sprite work on the PS1. If I had known about the PS2 remake I would have bought it in a flat second. I can still play Wild Arms 1 on my PS Vita though.
That intro still gets whistled in this house to this very day .
I'd be happy with a graphical update of wild arms 2
matsujonen and a battle system from 3, 2 is much slow
I've been playing this since i was 8. Made it a mission to play all, and 100% all of them, meaning as many items as possible, max stats max level, all side quests, and for 5 re-continued till first battle maxed level
that wild arms million memories is already have gameplay video and trailer now....
Yeah, I saw it and it looks okay but something just feels off.
Thanks again for the video Erick, great job, and a great ending song there :)
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.
that time 1997 got my ps1 and persona 1,suikoden 1,vandal hearts 1,tecmos deception. and wild arms, these are my life.and without those first game i have. ps1 sucks. wild arms has the best music and story so far thats why it got remake . wild arms for me is ps1 no1. masterpiece.
I love Wild Arms 2 and Wild Arm 3 i get lost. No one ever talks about the series but it has over five games so must been popular at a time I figured the series just died off for being unplayable without a walkthrough
Minako Hiashi
I love that series, but it was the primary reason I started going to GameFAQs. Aah, the fun times before then when the only way to get through some puzzles was to ask a friend or hit switches and use tools at random between bouts of hitting my head on the wall.

I love Wild Arms 2. Like it one of my favorite jrpgs of all time. It's kind of a first jrpg ever played but when I was younger I only had disc 1 I only just found a used copy about 4 years ago I played through it and loved it. I think extremely highly of Wild Arms 2 but in reality it's probably like a B+ game
I also got Wild Arms 3 somewhere around 4 years ago and it might be good but I have retry this game around three times and I always get lost somewhere extremely early. With Wild Arms 3 im lost to the point where I don't even know where I'm trying to go so a walkthrough wouldn't really help me. I like 2 high enough that I really want to like 3 I have kept playing the game for years trying to make progress and I actually did make some progress but then immediately got lost again.
I think the problem is that the world is to big and locations do not exist until you talk to the right person
Minako Hiashi
That's the problem I had with 3 as well. I put it down for a bit and when I came back I couldn't remember which area I was supposed to search in. I notice a lot of games in the last decade or so will have a diary of some sort to remind players where they're supposed to go next.
Shaman Xeed
I knew there were five games but I didn't know the series was at all popular considering that if anyone ever talks about the games it's only the first one. That's only cuz it might be the first jrpg on the PlayStation 1 or close to being first
I LOVE the Wild Arms Twilight Venom anime. The opening theme was EPIC! Would love to see a game based on the anime.
I own an incomplete DVD box set.
My mom got it for me at a thrift shop. I'm missing volume 3.
Nice. I've never watched it, but I'm looking forward to doing it one day.
What the HELL Happened to Parasite Eve?
It's on the list ;)
The third birthday nailed that coffin down lol
Hell yeah, that game deserves a video on its own in this channel xD
Third Birthday happened. The end.
They didn't have the rights to use the name and the Mitochondria story from the Original book , The author of the book apparently didn't like the direction the 2nd game took , so Square-enix wanted to give Aya another game but had to change the name and 3rd Birthday was born.
TOTALLY agree with Wild Arms 2, it was very much unfairly treated by the press. It was one of my favourite PSX RPGs.
I never really drew myself to Wild Arms like many did. I recently prior to playing Wild Arms 1 had played FF7 and when I played WA I was very unhappy with the in-battle character models and did not like the animation style of the battles in the first game. I very quickly, and unfairly, turned the game off before I ever gave it a chance. Wild Arms 2 looks and sounds like a winner and I have never played it either nor had I tried any of the associative titles in this series. Looking back, I clearly missed out and regret it. I am making it a requirement to go back to this series and get right what I did not years ago. Great video, very informative, but sad we are now chewing a mobile game as the most recent title in the series :-(
I always liked wild arms. I wish it will come back :(.
In January Sony released Wild Arms 3 on the PS4 and I’ve been playing it off and on and I’m at the final dungeon now. I wish they would at least release the other PS2 games they had on the psstore I would love to play them!
saldanamoreno Did.......Abyss?😅😐 I know a lot hate it, but I still did it. Even got all elemental wards and some support ones. However.....Full Libra and Elemental wards no.
Allen nah I didn’t do it. I did just beat the final boss last night and the ending was so satisfying. Now I’m gonna play Dark Cloud 2. Lol.
I enjoyed Wild Arms 4 and 5 and bought XF back in the day.
Whatever happened to Guardian's Crusade?
Look at the classic character like ashley with that gun blade i hope its not gonna be a flop
Noice,more games to play... xD
Serious,seems pretty good that one from Psp.. maybe i try it.
Thanks Erick !Again!
Wild Arms is one of the greatest RPG series and I am so sad that it was not as well received and well known as other RPGs because now, looking back. I love it. I wish it was still around because it has some things now are missing. Good design, complex characters, complex stories that don't rely on constantly screwing with your mind.
Games 1-3 are all good, great games. Perhaps 1 and 2 are a little technologically behind since they are on such old systems, but they have solid great design. Wild Arms 3 and Code F don't show their age at all. I think they still look great even now. Beyond that, they are very well designed. There's flexibility in your team and everyone learns their special skills in different ways or just has their own innate skills, it's great
4's Hex system was strange and perhaps a poor choice since it was such a drastic change, but it wasn't bad, not really.
I.... I honestly don't like 5 much because I feel like it took a really drastic change from the Western setting and the characters seemed a bit tropeier than I remember. Idiot hero, mysterious waif, stone-cold badass, cute robot girl all the typical anime traits are there. Plus it's a bit more techno than the old games since a lot of emphasis is placed on the golems and technology as a whole, with some cities even looking like they are from a Sci-Fi setting, which most Wild Arms games save for the final dungeon
Okay but is there a petition for an English license for Million Memories that we can sign and signal boost?!?!?! Please??? Or at least an English option like what they did for Granblue Fantasy so we can actually support Wild Arms again :D
so wild arms got the breath of fire treatment.
I am honestly so very glad to have missed out on the entire PS2 Xbox etc era of video games. I mainlined straight Starcraft and then later, after much resistance, WC3 and DotA. I can't imagine having nostalgia for Wild Arms 3. I remember playing Wild Arms for PS1 and it was a bunk ass Final Fantasy 2 with some pew pew. I guess it was alright. There were Contra, Castlevania and a variety of 3d fighting games that were more important for the time. Remember Intelligent Qube? Much better game. Suikoden? SUI KO DEN. The only problem with Suikoden in that generation is that there wasn't M O R E SUIKODEN.
I commend XSEED for their efforts to bring JRPGs in the west. But unfortunately, it is also a death bed for series who want to be commercial icons. AFAIK, none of the games published by XSEED have ever reached a million mark or close to it on sales.
I wanna See wild arms rise again!! Specially from The fourth series! Yulie,jude and im still left hanged about the fact that kresnik might still be alive
Love Wild Arms and love how they try to inovate in the mechanics through the years
The Elew and Golems. The Arms. I miss this game.
PS1 games in particular are hard for me to go back to. Early 3d graphics hurt my eyes...more so than old sprite art.
