wild arms songs are realy awesome but they are like all copied from another song. the town theme in wild arms 1 is copied from for a fistful of dollars this song is copied from dust in the wind and another song is copied from the ecstasy of gold.
@LedKenji666 Everything in this world is derived from something else. The musician for Wild Arms was intentionally creating songs in the style of Ennio Morricone because he was a very good musician for westerns, and the whole idea behind Wild Arms was to create a western-themed RPG.
@LedKenji666 Well, at the same time, most RPG's that came after Final Fantasy could be said to have ripped off its turn-based battle system, use of a story and distinguishable character classes... I do agree with you that some Wild Arms songs sound too far alike to not have been completely based on other songs, but having two of something really good is still nice.
@DaveTheSodaGuy0 not really a series, but Chrono Cross has excellent music. Dream of a Shore Near Another World is one of my favorite songs ever. I wouldn't call it "better" but maybe (maybe!) equal.
Despite never having played the game, this fills me with a sort of happiness which is hard to describe. I just want to close my eyes and relax to this.
This game was soooo...atmospheric. The soundtrack was a major part of it, too. It didn't have the greatest gameplay mechanics or coolest character designs, but everything in the game just had this distinctiveness, and when it all came together it has this almost magical feel to it.
i think it was till wild arms 4 that naruke-sensei did all the music....
there's a reason she's baisically my favorite musician ^_^
and as to people talking about the game instead of the music... the whole series ('cept for XF which i can't get because i don't have a psp) is my favorite series ever... and i can't choose a favorite ^_^'
soooo awsome, this is the best theme i heard in ps2 so far ,relax and sad , the wild arms series are great 1-balance batle sistem , 2-one of the few rpgs in ps2 with world map 3 -the music
I just started Wild ARMS 4, and while it plays great and the style is solid, I'm wondering why they had to get rid of the world map. Some people claimed it was tedious, but I loved searching the globe in Wild ARMS 3 and finding the dungeons, Millenium Puzzles, etc... not to mention how intimidatingly HUGE the world was. I guess the developers felt like they had to adhere more to Final Fantasy X's example, which is unfortunate.
I consider it the weakest in the series of the ones I've played(not 4 or the psp ones). It still has its own unique charm that grows on you. Also it has the honor of being the last wild arms where the women are fully clothed.
WA3 was the first game in the series that I played and I found its style to be incredibly refreshing and solid. It takes a bit to grow on you, but the payoff is excellent. I also appreciated the sheer size of the quest, which in terms of most newer RPGs, is pretty remarkable.
I think I mentioned it is one of the few games where I bothered with the sidequests. But compared to how refreshing part one was back in 96. You were learning moves in towns and dungeons with Jack. The girl's and guy's were interesting. There was a dungeon in the desert. Interesting plot points like the sky falling and a town with a demon barrier at its entrance. It felt repetitive, and the dungeons weren't visually distinctive. I did end up liking the game though.
I haven't tried part 1 yet, but I have a copy of Alter Code F tucked away for a rainy day (or month). I don't really mind if the game is repetitive, as long as the puzzles get harder and the gameplay is pretty solid. I actually don't like it when an RPG tries to be some major set-piece production like Final Fantasy X. If I want an amazing story, I'll just read a book. WA3's dungeons and world reminded me of the great Zelda games for SNES/GBA. No killer story but great unbroken gameplay.
@cleomagoolando I personally like a "killer story" as it gives a purpose for actually playing the game. Books are nice too, but converting a book into a game would be a bit awkward. The structure of a book vs a video game is very different.
@azulichigo that's a good point because in a game you also need your actions to speak but in a book the only thing that speaks are the words. Of course, that's just how people decide to write books so if you wanted you could write a book like a video game, movie, etc and it would convert pretty well.
wich should i start playing first then, 3 or 1? just discovered this game through the playlist! seems even better than symphonia and i already loved that game!
It doesn't matter. The stories are mostly unrelated, though the setting is the same world.
After putting out #3, they reissued #1 on the PS2 as 'Alter-Code F' and gave it virtually the same engine/gameplay-mechanics as #3.
It's interesting that you mention Tales of Symphonia and Wild ARMS 3 in the same post, as though are the last two games I played through. I really enjoyed Symphonia, but WA3 was a much more satisfying challenge. Symphonia's dungeon-crawling sections were way too easy.
symphonia coul'd've been a bit harder indeed, though i thought most of the puzzles were a lot of fun! (i remember a dungeon where you had to collect and execute a rhyme about giants... really loved that bit!)
i'm going to check out w.a especially since the music is sooo good ^_^
That's interesting. I think Symphonia is probably a harder game. But the puzzles were so weak they might as well not have existed. The only interesting one was when you had to write down some sentences that were in semi code.

My breathing is even more irregular what with my girlfriend riding me like a cowgirl and all......... Not the right time to listen to this track then, eh?
yeah man, when i finished legend of dragoon, I almost cried, only because there's no more to play. There are some games that stay in your heart and in your life forever, when you love the history, the graphics, the characters and the music, that's a perfect game!
@DarkDragonPower True....FF7 and FF12 were the best experiences I've ever had with a video game. I tried other games to get the same feeling but nothing even compares to the amount of greatest and moments I had with those two games. If only I could erase my mind so I could relive the experience....

it's sad, but for some reason I can never seem to finish Wild Arms games because something cooler comes along and i never really want to play it again
How is this this for lyrics, do you think?
I closed my eyes, heard the wind pass through the swaying trees, felt it lift me up into the sky with the birds,
it's peaceful, so peaceful out here.
Took my time, found the place that sang unto my soul, escaped the barren earth i left behind long ago, im free now,
so free now im here.
(the starting line is intentional :P)

I''ve been trying to find a game series with a soundtrack that is more fascinating than the wild arms one.
I'm still looking for it, and frankly I'm almost losing hope on it, which means this series has the best soundtrack I've ever heard.
