Post by: Error2k4 on August 28, 2007, 08:46:01 PM: Im not sure yet, Shouta gave it a thumbsup but he is a Wild Arms fanboy with weird tastes. I'll wait for impressions from other people.

I'll probably end up picking a copy regardless.

Title: Re: who's picking up wild arms 5 tomorrow
Post by: Van Cruncheon on August 28, 2007, 08:59:00 PM: warhawk sucks. wild arms 5 is as close as we'll get to skies of arcadia 2!
Title: Re: who's picking up wild arms 5 tomorrow
Post by: demi on August 28, 2007, 09:02:51 PM: Why would you want Warhawk when the obviously superior and better and masculine Call of Duty 4 is on the horizon?
Title: Re: who's picking up wild arms 5 tomorrow
Post by: Beezy on August 28, 2007, 09:08:07 PM: *raises hand* :D

I preordered this and Persona 3 (still haven't played it) at the same time.

Post by: Smooth Groove on August 28, 2007, 09:22:58 PM: Wild Arms 5 didn't sound that good based on opinions from EGM's review crew. Everyone agreed that Persona 3 was better. 1 guy liked it a lot but Shane thought it was average while Donahoe thought it was crap.

Post by: Van Cruncheon on August 28, 2007, 09:25:41 PM: EGM's review crew is full of stupid assholes.

Title: Re: who's picking up wild arms 5 tomorrow
Post by: Ichirou on August 28, 2007, 10:23:29 PM: Wild Arms 5 looks awesome. I really, really want it (even more than Persona 3).
Title: Re: who's picking up wild arms 5 tomorrow
Post by: Van Cruncheon on August 28, 2007, 10:24:20 PM: same. persona 3 is neat, but wa5's crazy praise from skies of arcadia fans has me gagging for it.
Title: Re: who's picking up wild arms 5 tomorrow
Post by: BlueTsunami on August 28, 2007, 10:36:15 PM: I already like the series before 5 but people who generally found the series mediocre now finding it really good have got me really psyched for it. Appearently Shouta on GAF said theres oodles of shit to do (Subquests)...so thats like...omg :hyper
Title: Re: who's picking up wild arms 5 tomorrow
Post by: Ichirou on August 28, 2007, 10:42:06 PM: Wild Arms - Very average, for its time, but with a unique setting and good music.

Wild Arms 2 - Major improvement (even though the translation made the story incomprehensible).

Wild Arms 3 - Meh.

Wild Arms Alter Code F - *vomit*

Wild Arms 4 - ???

Wild Arms 5 - TEH AWESOME!?

Post by: Himu on August 29, 2007, 11:11:00 AM: where are all of these skies of arcadia comparisons coming from drinky?

the only one i've seen so far is a dark haired boy with a gal pal who takes no shit from anywhere encounter a mysterious white haired girl.
Title: Re: who's picking up wild arms 5 tomorrow
Post by: MrAngryFace on August 29, 2007, 11:24:27 AM: 3 rocked, 4 was a lot of fun even if it was balanced horribly. I have high hopes for 5.

Im used to people not agreeing with me on the WA games tho. Theyre just distinguished mentally-challenged fellows and im the best.
Title: Re: who's picking up wild arms 5 tomorrow
Post by: Himu on August 29, 2007, 11:28:05 AM: i thought 3 was pretty good myself. haven't played 4 but it looks really fun.
Title: Re: who's picking up wild arms 5 tomorrow
Post by: MrAngryFace on August 29, 2007, 11:28:50 AM: 4 is good but raquel is way overpowered. I mean WAY overpowered.

Post by: Mr. Gundam on August 29, 2007, 04:09:31 PM: Oh, crap.

I just saw pics of the art book that comes with the game. I definitely want this now.
Title: Re: who's picking up wild arms 5 tomorrow
Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on August 29, 2007, 05:04:59 PM: how is this game like Skies, I know nothin about it

Raquel is like Orlandu x calculator and with chainable time-stop to boot. most fights involved letting her meter fill up then having her kill everything in a single round.

Post by: Van Cruncheon on August 29, 2007, 05:50:30 PM: patel:

the three leads (and the three supports) are analogous to skies' characters; happy-go-lucky adventure atmosphere and narrative.

behind the back 3D perspective; large free-roaming world; similar puzzle-heavy dungeon design; discoveries.

how it is not like skies: no airships. :'( no moonstone cannon. :'( no hot hot hot fina pirate costume. :'(

on the plus side: deeper battles. :) hex-based combat. :) more sidequests. :)
Title: Re: who's picking up wild arms 5 tomorrow
Post by: Mr. Gundam on August 29, 2007, 05:51:28 PM: Does WA5 use that tactical grid during battles? If so, no sale. :'(
Title: Re: who's picking up wild arms 5 tomorrow
Post by: Van Cruncheon on August 29, 2007, 05:52:17 PM: it has WA4's battle system, which i loved. if you mean that: screw you, dirty west-sider!
Title: Re: who's picking up wild arms 5 tomorrow
Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on August 29, 2007, 05:58:13 PM: ah okay. "no airships" is a pretty big one in a game being compared to skies ;)

does it have a dumb cute mascot
Title: Re: who's picking up wild arms 5 tomorrow
Post by: Van Cruncheon on August 29, 2007, 06:02:49 PM: probably. didn't see one in the boxart, though!
Title: Re: who's picking up wild arms 5 tomorrow
Post by: Van Cruncheon on August 29, 2007, 06:03:35 PM: it has giant flying ancient robots, though! actually, it MIGHT have an airship, since the other wild arms titles have had one.
