not a huge fan of the series, but this game looks very nice
here's a trailer. I think it comes out this month.

-
the last wild arms i played was on PS1. i may give this one a shot after P3
-
Fuck. I wasn't gonna buy any more games for the rest of the summer, but I didn't remember that this was coming out so soon. Is it gonna be $40 or $50?
-
Buy Persona 3 instead Beezy
-
Buy Persona 3 instead Beezy
But I love Wild Arms and I've never played a SMT game. I'm listening to the WA1 soundtrack right now. :-[
-
WA5 is 40 bucks yeah.

I love WA as well. I don't get the hate.
-
I've never played WA2, that's the one that most people seem to hate. I admit that the story isn't that good in WA4, but its fun to play because of the platforming and the hex battle system.
I'll probably get Persona 3 when it comes out just to have it. All the other SMT games for PS2 are impossible to find new and fucking Gamestop is trying to sell Nocturne and DDS2 for $45 used. Same with Zone of the Enders: 2nd Runner which I finally found, but they're all in horrible condition.
-
I hate how these games' prices get so damn inflated, and I OWN the games.
-
Atlus small shipments suck ass
-
Well, one reason they ship such small shipments (I think) is because gamestop/eb only orders small shipments to begin with, so they don't have much room to grow.
-
wa5 is by far and away the best in the series, according to most jappy fans.
-
WA5 > Persona 3
I think I'll buy this
-
Haha Demi.
-
wa5 is by far and away the best in the series, according to most jappy fans.
I've seen previews and gameplay videos of it and it looks amazing. The WA series has never been better than average (and this is coming from someone who played through the first three games and is in the middle of Alter Code F), but WA5 easily looks like it might be the best in the entire series.
-
Looks epic and man, the music in the first half of the trailer gave me goosebumps. Cannot wait
-
can someone post the youtube url above? they block it here at work, so i need to use a proxy

I don't think WA1 was average. :maf

thanks error
-
I loved WA1 but its pretty much my Final Fantasy 7. But, the difference being, I can actually revisit WA1 and enjoy it. Not so much with FFVII

FF7 aged like rotten cheese. i tried to replay it on the PSP, could barely get past the first disc.
-
Before Persona 3! Cuz XSEED don't fuck around!
-
:lol with XSEED classics like valhalla knights, they better release that shit before Persona3!
-
When does it come out again?
August 28

-

-
Growlanser V is the only thing I want in September so that's good.
-

-
looks interesting, i may have to try that out.
-
Meh.
-
The Shadow Hearts games are hard to find in stores too.
-
SH1 is the best one.

SH1 is the best one.
This.

Amma play WA5 prolly. Looking good, I have a soft spot in my heart for Cecilia and WA1.

I liked WA2 better than 1, honestly. 1 had some interesting puzzles in the dungeons and whatnot, and had a pretty original setting, but other than that, it was nothing special. Especially compared to the 16-bit stuff that was still coming out at that point (Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals, for example).
I'm looking forward to Growlanser 5 as well, though it's a shame they skipped Grow IV and its various spin-offs. The fact that we're getting it is better than nothing, I suppose!

QFT. i gave this game a (deserved) 6 but kept playing it and playing it for no reason i could control.

WA1 was the first RPG where i realized "it's OK to give up on an RPG you've sunk 20+ hours into if it turns out to be a boring pile of crap." that game was so bloody mediocre. persona and suikoden both raped it for pre-FF7 PS1 RPGs but somehow it has the reputation of being the early shining star of the system's lineup.
it was like a shitty version of lufia II. exactly.
-
WA1 is, like, soulless...maybe it was the translation, maybe it was the almost complete lack of character interaction...but coming after Beyond The Beyond and before FF7 it was definitely playable. It was the first game I played through from start to finish on my PSX.
-
buy brave story

WHY MUST WILD ARMS BE THE RED HEADED STEP CHILD of RPG gaming :cry
-
is growlanser 5 as ugly and poorly animated as parts 2 and 3?
-
Probably. It'll still be a fun game, though, and isn't that what matters most? :-*
-
no, g2&3 were unplayably HIDEOS
-
I found them to be pretty enjoyable myself. The battle system was pretty sweet.
-
FUGLY
-
hey, you know what's NOT fugly? Brave Story PSP!
-
He's right you know!
-
Brave Story? Isn't that based on some light animu novels/movie? :-\
-
hey, you know what's NOT fugly? Brave Story PSP!
It's gorgeous actually! Looks better than a lot of PS2 RPGs.
I'm only an hour or so in. Starts kinda slow. Really, really impressive presentation though. No loading, nice and fast. It's like a DS RPG almost!
-
yes, but the PSP game is by Yoshiki Okamoto and GAME REPUBLIC, and it is better than everything you've ever loved
here is my review, lazily copied from my IM session with Patel:
Drinky says:
brave story is like that dragon from the neverending story jizzing absinthe into my mouth while a japanese jk rowling rubs my nipples with oregano

It's quality. I was looking for something maybe a little more "serious" (I dunno, feels a little cutesy to me), but it's pretty hot.
-
I don't really care so much about how nice or bad graphics are as long as the character designs and environments have an interesting sense of aesthetics.
Is Brave Story really that good? How does it compare to Tales of the World?
-
the aesthetics are like an amped up radiata stories. it's a traditional story-driven rpg, not a dungeon crawler.
-
Is Brave Story an apology for Genji PS3?
It's gonna take way more than this to apologize for that.
-
Radiata was nice. This actually looks better? How's the translation? Cringeworthy or readable?
-
good; ricciardi's 8-4 translated it, so it reads pretty well if a little hackneyed when it comes to western idiom abuse.
-
I dunno, I'm pretty busy with Tales of the World right now, but I guess it's something to look at once I'm finished with that, unless I pick Jeanne D'Arc first. For some reason I assumed since it was based off animu it would suck and so I avoided reading or finding out anything about it.
-
it is only very tangentially related to the animu movie
-
brave story sounds nice :hyper
-
I've been picking up more and more games since I started going to this forum. Fortunately, I've been playing them more often too.
-
grow5 is a apparently pretty hideous too, career soft isnt exactly known for great visuals fest. I hope the gameplay delivers at least. Im a bit worried because it looks too much like FF12.
-
Grow 2 and 3 had solid gameplay, whatever their deficiencies were in regards to story or graphics. And the hi-res character portraits were nice.
-
I've seen a video of Growlanser V on youtube and it is pretty HIDEOUS
-
BUT I'M GONNA BUY IT ANYWAY SO SCREW YOU GUYS
:-*
-
the US site is up, the package really reminds me of WD shtick.
http://www.atlus.com/growlanser/
-
Atlus > WD
-
WD sucked.
-
Vic Ireland can suck my dick nipple.
-
He sucked mine. :shh
-

i really dug growlanser II. a LOT. really interesting how they kept throwing in elements in every battle to confound you, and the game was so fast-paced.
GL3 on the other hand, turned into a mediocre RPG. still kinda fun cos it was growlanser, but i was not nearly as into it.
the games may have been ugly but i enjoyed the huge hi-res character portraiture.
anyway, i'll buy GL5. last PS2 game i buy? who knows!
websites got WA5 preview code today, btw, but i didn't read the embargo information before i turned it over to my boss.
-
wa5 looks like a pretty clear riff on skies of arcadia. spunky shaggy dark-haired male lead, hyperactive redheaded gal pal, and mysterious demure pale woman with exotic dress descending from the sky WHAT WHAT
-
i could never get into growlanser 2, just because AUGH LOW REZ AUGH UGLY SPRITE ANIMATION AUGH VIC IRELAND

i think you missed out. and the fact that it's 2D means it ran at like twice the pace of most 3D RPGs on the PS2, if not 3-5 times the pace of some (and 10 times the pace of magna fucking carta.)
-
i played the first 3-4 missions, but JESUS i could not get over the UGLY!
-
Even when they were doing the Langrisser series, these guys (the former Masaya team, and whatever it is they're called now) were not known for doing great graphics. Their gameplay systems are pretty solid, though.
I wonder what you'd think about the Sakura Taisen series...III, IV, and V have full-on 3D battlefields but the graphics are pretty mediocre early-DC-looking.
-
I really liked Wild Arms 4, but never beat it. WA5 looks to be more of the same, but that's not a bad thing. I really wish this game was only $30, because I'd buy on impulse. I still want it, but I really don't know if I have time to play this (Persona 3 and Brave Story will keep me busy).

omg
-
ugh, is the search system back?
-
ugh, is the search system back?
I hated it too. :( One reason I liked Wild Arms 4 so much was because Media Vision ditched it.
-
ugh, is the search system back?
The overworld is supposed to be like DQ8's, so I'm thinking it'll just be for items.
-
i liked the search system
-
Are there random encounters?
-
Yes your able to turn them off (Overworld?). Not sure about Dungeons though, if its anything like WA4, you'll have to destroy or turn off a switch somewhere within the dugeon.

-
I was going to ask on GAF, but what package is that? Is it some pre order incentive?
-
looks like the first shipment will have that art book it seems.
I e-mailed XSEED and they told me that every first print copy of WA5 will have an art book included.
-
Seriously nice. I hope xseed doesn't go out of businezz
-
:o
Well, I'll be buying this bitch the first day its released anyways. ARTBOOK MINE
-
XSeed will have their game released on time, too.
-
Will the artbook delay the game.
-
(http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb269/whr_album/wa5-1.jpg)
Mine.
-
one week for p3 :hyper
it'll be funny if WA5 gets delayed because of the art book too.
-
When's this come out again? ???
-
Get Persona 3 Ichirou.
-
Give me release dates for Persona 3 and Wild Arms 5, Himu. Gaming sites are blocked at work.
If you do, I promise I'll pick up P3. :-*
-
P3: 08/14/07
WA5: 08/28/07
Get both so I can talk to you about them!!!
-
Will do, and I'll probably play through Persona 3 first, since I still have Alter Code F and WA4 to go through before starting on 5. :)
-
(http://www.rpgfan.com/news/pictures2007/wa5pack.jpg)
-
HEXES!!!!!
-
I want all of that. Maybe I should preorder it just in case...
-
So like, I preordered this yesterday and Persona 3 today. I don't have enough self control. :-\
