Forums - Sony - So how does Wild Arms Stand up to other JRPG series?

I've been wanting to get into the Wild Arms series for a while and Im about to get 4 and 5 on friday so I want to know compared to Star Ocean, Tales of, Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest where does Wild Arms stand up? Is it a Great, Good, Mediocre or Crap Crap Crap Crap Crap series?

I can't tell you on 4 and 5... but I thought Wild Arm 1 was REALLY REALLY good. I like it better than Star Ocean.



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

Do not get Wild Arms 4 it's not good at all and nearly ruins the good name of the series I highly recomend that you don't get as it's a complete waste of your time and money.

Now moving onto the series as a whole.

My ranking is:

Wild Arms 2 > Wild arms 5 > Wild Arms > Wild Arms 3 >>>>>>>Wild Arms 4

The series as a whole is good and is worth playign as long as you don't play Wild Arms 4.

Oh if you have a PS3 you can download the Original wild Arms off of PSN.



Really Whats wrong with WA4?

Story, Characters? Battle ssytem?

I would say they have steadily gotten worse. The first one was great, 2nd was good. 3rd was just ok. I bought 4 and was so completely turned off by it that I traded it in the next week, never tried 5.

If i were you I would start from the beginning

Wild Arms series is alright. My favorite ones are the first two. The first is great; it has one of the best world map themes. 3 & 4....not so much. I haven't played the 5th one; I was a little worried about it.



I've only played the first and I disliked it very much. Very, very boring. I can't speak of the rest and whether or not they've gotten better.



Should I try the enhanced remake Code Alter F?

Use power for the right things. At least for the things that you believe in.

Ok i own every Wone in the series, The series is good, the stories are very light hearted but hold a theme( that they shove down your throat). WA 1-3 are the best 4& 5 are ok, and yes play the remake of WA1,
