(+) Yeah! (+)

So far I've just made everyone to Aldehyde.
Keep in mind I've never beaten a single JRPG in my life because I usually get bored 4 hours and decide the genre is a bland piece of shit.

But MAYBE this is the one I actually like and beat. I'm sure there's a game in this genre that will make me appreciate them all.

Wild Arms is great and all but I really don't think it'll change your mind.

I'd say if you were looking for a jrpg to really grip you to play Xenogears. You can file that one away if Wild Arms doesn't pan out.

It has puzzles dungeons. So that might help you keep interested, maybe. Also the music is pretty awesome.

Yeah, if there is a game that will change your mind on the genre this isn't it. Maybe something weird like Earthbound, unique like NieR: Automata, or just a short genre favorite like Chrono Trigger. Wild Arms is a good game, but not the best in the genre.

So far I've just done the Guardian Temple north of Milana or whatever it's called.

The game is bit too easy. I feel like I'm just one shotting every enemy.

Story is quite boring I'm not gonna lie.

None of the WA games had a particularly good story. Generic save the planet from ecological apocalypse stuff. Except it seems like any victory they get is always temporary as things are always progressively worse every sequel.

I actually like the story in wild arms, I just hate exploring in wild arms...

Very barren landscapes, lots of enemy encounters along the way, it's very easy to get lost as the game won't explain it itself twice if you forget where you left off...
It's a very old school jrpg like DQ or Final Fantasy, so if dungeon crawling and exploration isn't your thing in JRPG'S this game will have very little appeal to you.

But if you can muscle through some archaic gameplay, you might enjoy this hidden gem.

Though I personally like Wild Arms 2 the most out of the entire WA series

So far all these Guardian Statues have been destroyed and I'm up to the part with Monkey in the Sand Caves or whatever it's called
