Naesaki Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) So as the title says, anyone remember this lovely little gem of a jrpg wild west inspired jrpg series? http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Franchise/WildArms?from=Main.WildArms If there is one series I wish would get a revival in some form, Wild Arms 3 was easily one of my favourite games from my childhood and the PS2 era, the cast was all generally quite likeable and from what I remember the plot was fairly well executed. I missed out on quite a lot of this series though as most of it never made its way to Europe and I wasn't really the importing kind back then, was something about the more niche jrpgs back then were most developers/publishers were like "Naaah!! Europe aisn't interested in this type of stuff." even though there was a fairly large following for such things, honestly I still think it boiled down to the whole most publishers not wanting to bother to translate the games into French, Italian, German and Spanish which was required most of the time.

RTDragon Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Finished the original on Playstation plus a few years ago especially if you know a certain cheat to get 255 of every item. I happen to really like the item icons of the first one. And three was very interesting which introduced how the force meter was handles which carried over to future games.

Its a shame the series is effectively dead, I got 5 on emulator and really enjoyed it, but not been able to find 4 at all.

Chrysocyon Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Love this series! 3 was easily my favourite, but I haven't played 2 or anything after 4. 7 minutes ago, Naesaki said: Its a shame the series is effectively dead, I got 5 on emulator and really enjoyed it, but not been able to find 4 at all. I have the opposite problem, I have 4 but I haven't been able to find 5. To be honest, I didn't like that one as much and never did get around to finishing it. The art direction and characters weren't that appealing to me. 5 actually looks really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what other series I wish would be revived, Grandia and Skies of Arcadia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many RPGs, not enough time. x.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes to all of this. I'd like a remastered Chrono Cross. That would be pretty cool. But as for Xenosaga, sadly they won't be doing anything else with it. TTwTT Well, as far as I know anyway. Especially since they have the Xenoblade series to be concentrating on. But let's see how far a Spiritual Successor to a Spiritual Successor can go! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
