Jan 10th, 2007 at 13:52:41 - Wild Arms (PS) |
I played a little bit of Wild Arms 3 a few years ago, and i beat Wild Arms 4 over the summer. After doing this, I decided to regress and bought used copies of Wild Arms 1 & 2 at the game store. The beginning of this game is a little bit shaky, as I am a veteran of RPGs, and the beginning was mainly trying to help you adapt to this style of gameplay. But, after the initial lull, I was able to get deep into the story, and loved it. The characters were cool and the battle system was straightforward. The only real problem I had with this game was the graphics. Being released in 1997, it is expected to have less than good graphics, but I was able to move past this, and keep on keeping on. An RPG classic that I would advise anyone to play if they can get their hands on a copy.

All right, today, I started playing this game at about 1AM and got a pretty good session of play. I have finally achieved a party of 3 (the full amount during battle) and some of them even have some pretty good background stories. So far, Ashley has turned into a demon, and become "the chosen one" by pulling a sword from a stone (kinda cliche, but o well). Brad has come out of prison for something we don't know about. He has an explosive collar around his neck just in case he tries to escape the mercenary group, ARMS. Lilka hasn't shown any real background other than the fact that she is living in her older sister's shadow. I actually do not like this character. Not only is her background blase, but her character design leaves much to be desired. I enjoy the way the game delivers new towns and dungeons. In order to find them, you must be told their location, and then you have to manually find them with a radar-like device while venturing on the world map. I am quite fond of the 3D town and world maps that have been added since the prequel. The rotation of the maps really lets me explore all that each town has to offer. I'm not one to count my chickens before they hatch, but this game could shows a lot of potential to finding a place in my heart.

I am excited to start this game, as I have already beaten 2 others in the series, and I hope to make this number increase to 3.
So, i have just started playing this game, and it seems to be a solid RPG. As of right now, the game is heavily based on puzzles within dungeons. This is something very typical of the Wild Arms series, so I knew about it well before i began to play. I have only played as two of the characters, but they both seem pretty interesting. However, my opinion on this game is typical of most of the RPGs I play, so I don't know if my feelings hold any water with respect to other gamers.
Due to the age of the game, the graphics and music are a little bit dated, but the gameplay remains the same. It does bother me a little bit that I am unable to use an analog stick for movement (which is what I am more used to due to FFXII and DWVII). I hope I enjoy this game as much as the others in the series.
I haven't become immersed in the storyline yet, because it is the very beginning of the game, and most RPGs don't get into the story until a little later. We'll just have to wait and see.
