I bought this game about a month ago and I'm very surprised with it. There is a new battle system that is very easy to use. There are many mini quests and games that make he game enjoyable. X-Seed, the maker of this game, have added a file conversion feature for those who have played Wild ARMs: Alter Code F. It gains you a special item and raises your beginning stats. The many mind puzzles are part of the fun. This is not just a platformer. It makes you use your mind, which is nice to find in an RPG. There are also hidden files you can earn based on certain criteria. My only complaint is the many, many random battles that only go away if you do something special while on the field. It can get rather annoying. Otherwise, if you are an RPG gamer looking for a good game, I do recommend this one.Read full review
Wild Arms 4 is one game that you may or may not enjoy for many reasons. With its anime style and feel, you can find it easy to take a liking to the cast of this game. However the battle system may leave you frustrated and annoyed. The sory overall is good, however i found myself often lost at times. Other than that, this game could be alot of fun. The only draw back is its battle system. The HEX system mixed with elemental bonuses and penalty is hard to grasp at first. Another factor was in the way you set up your party on the HEX battle field. All of thes factors contribute to the outcome of battle. Basicly it feels to excremental and unpolished. Another frustrating thing that stands out is that the game does not compensate any safety for the player. What i mean by that is, say you save in a particular area. Sometimes you are trapped with no way to level up and a really hard and unbeatable boss or whatever for your current stats. On the other hand, you could fix this by creating multiple save files for a reasonable cost of 27Kb of memory card space per file. Then you could start over from a lower level without restarting the whole game. (witch is what i had to do...) Other than that is an OK game and while the battle system is a drag, im not upset at all with it in my PS2 collection. I give it 6.2 OUT of 10Read full review
I played the previous Wild Arms before and decide to check this one out too. The fighting system contain a hex with five flower petal shape. It's pretty unique as it goes. The HP/MP automatically regain after the battle. If the characters' HP reached Zero during battle, at the end of the battle those character will be automatic revived. HP/MP will be regained based on the HP/MP the characters are left with after the battle. On of the only parts of this game I don't like is the graphic. It's too anime related. Meaning the graphic is just like one of those anime series. It disappointed me a little. Also, the battle system needs a little more improvement. It's a bit lacking for my taste. But overall, it's a pretty addicting game. I still like it none the less. It may not be my favorite game but it still keeps you playing for hours to come. It have a bit of adventure like setting within the game. Quite a fun game to have.Read full review
Ok let me start by saying that WA4 is the best in the series. i personaly, I'm a fanatic about rpg's. The story line in the game is the best so far, it is a tale of a young boy named jude whose village is attacked by a group of soldiers. they take over and he along with a freind he made wile exploring have to save the village.ok i think im going to stop because im going to tell the whole story. the battle system is new and a little hard to get at first but its very easy after you get the hang of it. it really makes u think and stratagize your next move.the game is kinda short but its worth evry moment. in closing i realy recomend buying it. its worth evry dollar.hope somebody finds this useful. A++++.
a excellent game, it's the first in the wild arms series with voice overs in English, a bit on the short side. recognizable voice actors such as Julie Anne Taylor (Love Hina - Mutsumi Otohime)Kate Higgins (Naruto- Sakura Haruno) Wendee lee (Haruhi suzumiya), Yuri Lowenthel (naruto- sasuke)Julie Anne Taylor, and Johnny young bosh (Bleach- Ichigo). simple game play but very different from other games of this genre as well as the series. after beating the game try to find the 'black pass' and use your levels to get great stuff for your new game plus.
