pammisue99's Full Review: Wild Arms for PlayStation 1
I first found Wild Arms when I got home from school one day and knew that my step-dad had been to a garage sale because next to the game was another Playstation console, some controllers, some memory cards and a couple other games.
This was about a year or so ago and I first got very interested in the whole RPG phenomenon when my step-dad brought home Resident Evil so seeing this new game most definitely intrigued me. My stupid brothers wanted to try it out first and they told me that they couldn't figure it out, I mean it wasn't like the usual Final Fantasy or Resident Evil games they were used and they quickly dismissed it. I tried it one day when I had nothing better to do, and I loved it.
Sure it was a tiny challenge trying to figure out what the icons stood for and why I had to choose a character in the beginning (this was difficult because all we got from the garage was the game, no instructional manual or anything else to help guide us) but after a few trial-and-error sessions, it was a piece of cake to control.
I totally love the storyline and how original yet familiar it all seemed to be, I was hooked. The funny thing is when I seemed to show interest in the game after I figured it all out and everything, my dumb brothers still were more interested in all those other RPG's, which I'm not going to talk trash about because they're great in their own respect, but I totally fell in love with this game.

She meets up with an outcast orphan and a tresaure hunter and in a time of chaos, they become a team and fight together, helping people, solving puzzles and fighting monsters.
The only con I have about this game is that I've never beaten it, I always seem to get stuck at this one spot and it's very irritating so if any of you have or are going to get this game and play it soon end up beating it, leave a comment about this opinion, I would really like to talk to you because it's very frustrating for me loving this game so much and not having an earthly clue on how to beat it.
It is said that 1 000 years ago Filgaia was a prosperous fertile world protected by the mythical Guardians. Until one ill-fated day when the evil race...More at eBay
