I recently have bid for wild arms on eBay. I just wanna know if anyone has played it and is it any good. Ive recently gotten into PSX RPGs. I think they were alot better than the new RPGs you get now. Ive been so caught up in these PSX games ( grandia, vagrant story , Vandal Hearts , Alundra 1 and 2 , All Final Fantasys and soon if i decide to get it wild arms ) ive not really looked at any PS2 games. Any rumored or confirmed RPGs going ahead for the PS2. Only games im checking out for are GT4 and MGS3. Anyway back to the point. Wilds Arms worth buying?

I rented it once, and I though it was good. I didn't get very far though :( . But if your looking for PSX RPG's then I'd recommend Wild Arms 2, the best one in my opinion.

I havent played one and two which are supposed to be very good and the original is being remade for PS2. I have played Wild Arms 3 which is very bad :(

Yer Wild Arms 3 was meant to be bad but reviews to me dont count anymore. Ive got many bad games but which i still enjoyed alot.But most reviews point out that Wild Arms 2 was the worst. Also I dont think Wild Arms 2 was released over in the UK. Cause on eBay there were many Wild Arms 1 and 3 but no 2. Please can someone state me wrong

Wild ARMs 1 was a great and amazing game. 2 was very fun as well, I dont know why most people dislike it, I enjoyed it. Dunno about UK releases.

I wouldnt buy it off ebay, by the way. The remake of WA1, called Wild ARMs Alter Code F, is going to be released next month (in America at least) and it looks really amazing. I fully plan on buying it.

Regardless of which version you get, Wild ARMs is an incredible game.

Wow, thanks for the info. That game remake, looks sweet. <3

So I played Wild ARMS 1 years ago, its really a good game. Its been so long since I've played it, probably over 6 years.... But yes, if I can recall it was a good game.

I liked 3 cuz it went more a Western route. The first one was kinda like that, but the second one was just way off. I still like them all, though.

Whats Wrong With eBay?

I wouldnt buy it off ebay because the remake is coming out in a month. It has nothing to do with ebay itself. I wouldnt buy a graphically horrid game from ANYWHERE when a remake is coming out.

I'd still rather get it as an original. Im not really bothered about the look of the game. More about the feel and gameplay of the game. I sound kinda I know but thats what I like

The feel and the gameplay will be exactly the same, simply with better graphics and extra optional sidequests and characters, but whatever floats your boat.

Wait a sec So theres going to be more sidequests and stuff. If theres going to be extra things to do then i might change my mind. I thought it would just be an precise copy of the original

Besides Alter code F isnt even out yet.

It's the same exact game, with sidequests and extras and better graphics. You can groan about the 'feel' all day long, but when it comes down to it, the feel is different for everyone. The feel is a connection to the game. No, I havent played it yet. No, I dont know if everyone will have the same 'mystical connection feel' to it as to the original. My point remains that it makes no sense to buy the original, which looks horrid, when a remake is out right around the corner. I'm not stopping anyone from clinging to the original to get that little 'feel'.

Why get a remake when he can get the original off ebay for a cheaper price, most likely?

I have never played the first Wild ARMs, but I have the second and third. I enjoyed both very much. =)

Gee, no clue. Certainly not the reasons I listed, or anything.

Sheesh, you people.

I'd also recommend you wait for Alter Code F. The game looks like it is going to be a whole lot better than the original. It will have many extras including being able to have a kickass NPC from the original game join your party.

The game has a plethora of bosses, which is one of the main points I look for in a game. While there isn't much character development for the heros, some of the villains do have their share. The music is excellent, especially the B-Flash battle and Zed's Theme. There are plenty of side quests, optional bosses and dungeons. The puzzles aren't overly annoying, but they will stump you for awhile.

There will also be an insane superboss in the remake. He is the Iseria Queen of Wild Arms games. In the original Wild Arms he was the ultimate foe, with the Playstation limit of 65535 HP. In the remake he will have two forms, with his second form having 777,777 HP.

I definitely recommend the remake if you want the most out of the game.

How do you know the game will be the same. They could remake it for the worse. They have remade games in the past and they turned out awful. Plus when it comes out it will be a full £40 or in USA bout $60 i dunno. When i could get the original for bout £8 sumin

Sheesh, you in general with you're constant bad moods. It was just an opinion.

Y'know, within the first half an hour of playing Wild ARMs I hated it.

I played for a little while, set out that I hated it, and stopped playing.

Went back a couple of days later, REALLY got into it, and just played it religiously until I finished everything =X

The more you play it the more you'll love it.

Maybe this game aint for me. Ill play it again of coase but it seems so bland and well lifeless at the moment. I hope it will turn out that the beginning was the worst bit and gets better but I already have a feeling that It wont. Oh well it was only £3.00 so not alot of money lost. Still think Vagrant Storys worse

Is it an obsession with you to tell me how I'm feeling? I was, get this, making a joke to Proto! OMG NO WAY!

Didnt come off like a friendly joke. I read it as sarcasm for anyone who didnt agree with you.
