I did too.  Here's an apology to Kresnik before hand for trumping his image, although atleast his image has better quality.

I have Wild ARMs 5, but I'd have to dig it out from a box that's under some other boxes, so it's the only one that's missing from the image.  And yes, that's a promotional box in the background.

Wild ARMs 3 + Alter Code F HD collection.

Wild ARMs 4 + 5 HD Collection.

Or... Wild ARMs 6.

All far too awesome so will never happen. Probably a costume in Destiny of Spirits or something.

Why won't you give me more of my favourite JRPG series, Sony!?


I actually tweeted Shahid around the Vita Jrpg campaign and sugested something of the sort (HD collection of PS2 era Wild arms games). Aletr code F never came out in EU aswell so it would be awesome.

He never answered, but it would definitly be awesome. HD collection of those 4 plus a new one for either the Vita or PS4.

With that said, i hear that theres many rights issues cause Sony themselves didnt localise these titles, nor do i believe they own the translation materials. So an HD collection would involve not only the graphics upgrade, but negotiation with the translators and the rights contracts in each region.

I got WA1, 3 and 4. WA5 was a very limited print here in europe so it was nearly impossible to get unless you got it at launch.

I'm not sure if WA2 even came out here. I know Alter F didnt and i wanted it.

WA2 did come out at a bad time with alot of competition. PS1 at the time was a gold nest for JRPGs.

The wild west theme is pretty unique in Jrpgs.

What little I´ve played from the first one was pretty good, so count me in.

THAT's what could make it successful in the U.S. MAKE IT Sony

Sony probably just didn't care to localize the games themselves. Probably like Demon's Souls. If XSeed could localize the games, I'm sure Sony could as well. Even if not, someone else can.


Yes, of course there is that possibility. I just get myself wondering that if they didnt do it back then, its doubtful they would do it now.

I think that is true, but i dont think the way they went with WA4 and 5 did the series any favours. Yes it got easy to pick up and play, but it lost the cell shaded graphics and the FF'esque battle system wich seems more popular.

I think theres only 2 ways WA6 can be a sucess. First is to keep to the formula of WA3 or a different one is to go on an FF realistic look with high production values ( wich is probably too risky of an investment).

I think they should keep WA with a very anime look and should make a Legend of Dragoon 2 with a more realistic design.



I want Grandia and Shadow Hearts to return :O but yay Wild Arms!

I haven't played all the WA titles but from what I've played, the series is pretty good. I'd personally love another Wild Arms game.

Most weren't even born in 1996 on this site... and like 10 people bought 4 and 5.. there is a reason the series didn't continue.. cause no one cares about wild arms anymore.. except those 10.. who strangly enough there are like 3 of them on this site..

If it's as good as the first one (or better) I'm sure it could reach 1 mil.
