Wild Arms better be good !

October 22nd, 2002

Thanks to you guys touting how great it is. I had to go spend 15 bucks on it

I've noticed a crappy trend with me however. The more time I spend on message boards about video games and hardware. the more money I spend on software and PC hardware =\

heheh... actually it's all an elaborated conspiracy... MWAHAHAHAHAHAH... Anyway, is it a cool game ? (I mean, Wild Arms)

Wild Arms 1? well if your looking for snazzy graphics..it ain't there...but gameplay and hidden extras were great

Quatro · October 23rd, 2002

get both, Wild Arm 1 and 2, if you have extra cash...

Well, I'm always looking for great gameplay, but... what about the story ? is it good ?

WindHydra · October 23rd, 2002

Spinning arms in battle!:tongue2:

Kaiser Sigma · October 23rd, 2002

And what about the story ?

WindHydra · October 23rd, 2002

Never got to finish because a computer crash destroyed all my saves

(haven't got too far anyway)

Wild Arms IS good. Good music, good storyline, and involving quest. The graphics, as Dark Watcher said, are allright but nothing spectacular. ChrisRay, $15 is a good price to pay for it. It is getting rare and hard to find.
Kaiser Sigma, the story line is quite good. It'll keep you guressing and playing and playing and..........

sincerely,

Quatro · October 23rd, 2002

so I guess wild arm 2 is much better and much fun than wild arms 1... coz, I got a copy of wild arms 2 but not the first one...

Nameless · October 23rd, 2002

Me too, I couldn't find the first. How is the story of the second? That's the most important IMHO

Mmmm... sounds good, good storylines is what I'm always looking for...

Quatro · October 23rd, 2002

to those who have played both (WA1 and WA2) is there a relation with the story or is it independent??? I stop playing for a while coz of so many projects...

October 23rd, 2002

Well I haven't had a full impression yet. I'm barely past the intro., The game story seems to be starting slow. It hasn't "pulled" me in yet. But for some reason the combat is fun and has kept me interested. The story so far seems to be what you would expect from Sony's First RPG.

Or what you'd expect from the breath of fire series dialogue well.

Considering this game was released before ff7 the graphics in combat are nothing short of amazing., Sure they are cute. But they work and were incredibly 3d for the time.

October 23rd, 2002

Hmm interesting. aparently you can start different heros and control them at the same time. Similiar to the active time event in FF9.

October 23rd, 2002

After playing quite a bit more (still not far). This game actually reminds me a lot of Lufia 2. Rise of Sinistrels.

The Combat system is similar. There's quite a few puzzles. While the story is "ok" so far. there have been parts where I've gotten stumped. (thank god for gamefaqs.com )

But all in all this game is pretty decent. Worth the purchase so far. unless it gets really bad.,

ArchAngel · October 23rd, 2002

I rented this game awhile ago, it has a better story ovr the graphics and when *i forgot the main character's name* gets the diif forms, they're cool to use but they get repetitive after awhile

October 25th, 2002

ArchAngel, ummmm, I think you are taiking about Breath of Fire 3. If you are, the main characters default name (you can change it if you want) is Ryu. The different forms he can switch to are Dragons. He looks totally human, but is actually one of the "Brood".
But, this thread was about Wild Arms not BOF 3. That is why I was puzzled as to why you were talking about BOF 3, which, BTW, is an excellent game also.
Quatro and Nameless, Wild Arms 2 is a very good game also. It has different characters and it's story line is different. It is also done in 3d where as only the battles in Wild Arms are in 3d. The reson you can't find it is, as I have said before, because it is an older game and is kept by those who have it and eagerly sought after by those who don't. This is making it rare and hard to find.
Fortunately, I have original copies of both games, in the box w/the manuels.
sincerely,
sx/amiga

ArchAngel · October 25th, 2002

No In wild arms the guy gets forms like a red knight and stuff. its a story in wild west kinda setting, and u get to use one of the forms in the last battle when he's in like a robe and he has great spells that do alot of damge. the main character uses a blade/shot kinda gun
