This was the second Wild ARMs game I've played, and it's reminded me a lot why I've grown fond of this little series. The classic turn-based gameplay is comfortable, the characters are likeable, the story is decent, and the music has its highs and lows. However, Wild ARMs 3 has it beat due to a slightly better presentation and more strategy involved during battles, as well as an actual reason to replay the game. Wild ARMs 2 is still a good game, though. I recommend it if you're looking for something a little under the radar. :)

I've been a collector of the original Playstation for quite some time now, and in turn I've played most of the great RPGs on the system. I don't know how this one completly slipped my grasp, but man I'm glad I emulated this one. I ended up purchasing this after about an hour of playing because I couldn't stand emulating anymore. This game deserved a purchase through and through. This is the first time in quite a while I've actually fallen in love with a PS1 game. If you like turn based combat, and really great story telling, this is definitely for you. I will say one downside to this is the font they used for dialog boxes. It's sometimes hard to read, but I'm also viewing it on a 50 inch TV so maybe I'm too close lol. It just seems to need a black outline over the text, but other than that I can't find a single fault so far. I'm about 10 hours into this so far and I've loved every minute. Each character has their own special action command(the girl has magic, while the other two have a mighty boot and throwing knives). Definitely pick this up if you haven't. Also, for those interested I'm using the Framemeister to upscale it and it doesn't have any sync issues other than the main title screen. So gameplay is nice and hassle free!Read full review

Wild Arms 2 was one of the greatest Playstation games I ever played. The story is actually rather engrossing (albeit it has certain moments that could have been improved, but hey there aren't many games that don't!), and the graphics are well done (although the battle scenes are somewhat choppy); a couple of things, however, that prevented the highest ranking here, is because some of the dialogue could have been improved (although it isn't as bad as hal-jordan made it out to seem), however it is not confusing. And the fact that you can't find any towns until you have been told about it is rather irritating; however, outside of these few downfalls, the story line is rather gripping, the side quests make the game worth exploring, and overall it is a must-own if you have a Playstation system.
I love the wild arms series and I own all of them except this one as it was only sold in America. This game is as good as I hoped it would be and I would recommend this game to any rpg fan. This all the great elements that make a great game e.g Characters, solid game play, funny jokes and great combat system.
After completing Wild Arms 1 this is a great sequel to jump to. Played about 5 hours so far!
