Wild Arms

While at first the graphics may seem outdated, the gameplay and storyline more then make up for it. The deep 3d battles pull you into the adventure. While many RPG's may be limited towards freedom, Wild Arms is an exception. With tons of secrets and side quests, you'll want to play it numerous times just to see everything. This game is strongly recomended for anyone who likes a great RPG.

Wild Arms challenging and fun

Wild Arms is an older game so the graphics aren't as good as the newer RPG games, but the storyline and characters are a lot of fun. I enjoyed the chance to control each character in their own little story lines and then joining up again as a trio. There are many side stories that make you want to go back and play the game again just to figure out the side stories. Wild Arms is fun and entertaining and should be given a chance if you enjoy RPG games.

Boring Storyline

A standard RPG storyline is saving the world. Unfotunately, that's pretty much the storyline here. And isn't that what makes an RPG? It's battles aren't exactly original either.. This game was'nt as bad as 1 star, I'd give it three. (One word to describe this: Average. Another? Bland.) It's mean, but I think this deserves less than 4 1/2 stars so I want to lower it. Heh. All in all: C+ Suggestions for something even better: Thousand Arms (not to be confused with Wild Arms, THOUSAND Arms is a great game, I like it alot...I mean, no one can put finger prints on it's case or I'll get real upset...my favorite. *teardrop*) Suikoden 2, very fun classic. Xenogears. It deserves more attention. >=P Highly cool, reccommended. (But not over my Thousand Arms) ^_^

A fine little game. Much better than the over hyped Final Fantasy stuff - Terrific fun, great puzzles. If more titles thought about the gameplay and less about the graphics life would be better.

To save Figaia,or not to save Filgaia!

When the demons seek revenge and the world is starting to go through choas who do you yell for, The wild arms gang.

This is a great RPG if you liked the old SNES RPG's then you'll really like Wild Arms it has ok graphics but if your a person who really cares about graphics then this game might not be good for you , but if your a person going for storyline,and hard puzles then you'll love this it has a great storyline, and some pretty hard puzles to figure out. One of my favorite characters is Hanpan the wind mouse, he's fast and Jack Van Burace best friend. Jack is one of the main characters he is a treasure hunter(thief also). Rudy is 15 year old, dream chaser he handle the deadly arms and isn't what he seems.Cecilia is princess that is practicing magic, she has a secert weapon and doesn't even know about it. I think this game is great I would give it a 5, but i care a little bit about the graphics. Go get it gamers!

The game is truly spectacular. The graphics [are not very good] but the storyline a gameplay are truly the best i have ever seen(next to Secrets of Mana for Super NES). I beat this game in about 23 hours. The ending is kinda lame, but all in all it is a true gem. I say, go out and buy this game. It is a must have for all die-hard RPG fans

This game is terrific!You must play it!

I love this game!You must have a memory card to play it.I speak from experience!There is forty something hours of gameplay.The intro is great and so is the animation.It's a one player game but two people can play it.I've beaten it several times and never tire of it.Here's the basic summery.You have three characters.You choose who to play first.The characters are: a princess/sorceress,a treasure hunter and an outcast.All of the charaters are very well drawn up.At first you play out all their scenarios.It takes a little over an hour but, then you soon find out that's only the introduction!After that the characters stay teamed up and face many optional and nonoptional quests.You sail around the land called Filgaia in a ship,travel in the Earth Golem and fly in the Protowing.You figure out secrets from each characters past.You journey to far off regions to find all twenty-two mythical guardians of Filgaia.The evil metal demons are endangering the world that is why you must free all the guardians only then can you win.

Mmmmm... Wild ARMs..

I can't say enough good things about this game.

It has a catchy western theme without making the characters seem like cowboys, character development is good, graphics are nice, the scenes and settings are aestheticly pleasing. The combat mechanics are fun with plenty of options without being too complicated or too simplistic.

More people would surely know about this game, and own it, had it not been released around the same time as Final Fantasy VII, which we all know most of the gaming community purchased and played for quite a long time.

Wild ARMs is a great, great game, and since it's years after its release, you can usually find it used or reduced at a nice price. It's a game I would have easily paid $50 for, it's been lots of good fun for me.

My first RPG ....*sigh*....

Back around playstation's release there were only 4 real RPGs. Beyond the Beyond, Suikoden, Vandal Hearts and Persona. I had just graduated from an NES to a playstation (I know) and was in the mood for a game with a story, i spent most of my time playing jumping flash...quality...true quality. Wild ARMS was the first RPG to catch my eye. It has a great story, revolving around the war with demons and an ancient past, good graphics, and a very cool/ very subtle western theme. The opening was my favorite and yours, music accompanied by ANIME!!. Great job whoever did it!! (I still love that song). Battle was simple and strait forward, the crest graph magic system and ARMS make the characters more unique and interesting. The worst part to the game was the sequel, a disappointment sadly. It is a great game and all true RPGers should have at least played it.

A truly great storyline

"Wild Arms" probably has one of the better story lines that I have seen in console RPGs. At the beginning, you play the three different characters separately; this basically let's you get used to the strengths and weaknesses of each character. Shortly after this, all three meet up, and they pretty much stay together for the rest of the game. Not only are the characters interesting people, but the plot is very well done and executed (though it is one of those save the world plots). Combat in the game was pretty fun (or at least I thought so), though I can see where some people might not like it as there really isn't a whole lot of strategy to it. Some of the puzzles in "Wild Arms" can be a little challenging, but most of them are not too hard to figure out. The game has one thing that some people might consider a downside (I didn't); pretty much everything in the game was polygonal making the graphics a bit dated for the time. One thing I almost forgot to mention is the game introduction: when you first start up the game, you are treated to an anime style production that introduces you to all the characters. This game is a lot of fun to play and well worth spending the money for it.
