This made me realise how long it's been. I remember WA5 coming out and them making a big fuss about it being the 10th Anniversary game. Now we're at the 20th Anniversary and there's been one title since then, so disappointing.
One of my favourite videogame series ever. Despite the flack they get, I really enjoyed 4 & 5, and 3 is one of my favourite games ever. Wasn't so keen on 1 (I know right!) and have yet to play 2, saving that one for a rainy weekend

DON'T PLAY WITH MY HEART SONY.
Wild Arms is in my top 5 GOAT and the I can't think of another franchise that I love more. Don't give me false hope, you'll kill me.

I've had the first Wild Arms downloaded on my PS3 for the past two years or so now and I've never played it. Been meaning to get into this series for so long and it just hasn't ever happened. This backlog will never end, I swear.
Also, I love this random gif from one of the later installments...

As long as Alter Code F ends being forgotten...
Seriously... what a shame... after years wanting to play this version, when I finally played they ended animefying the story. =(
Not only that, they remade the systems and made it worse than the original IMO.
Some additions were welcome, though.

sony never developed wild arms, it was media vision which is still a strong developer (recent projects include Digimon cyber sleuth, chaos rings, vc3, shining resonance) so there could still be a possibility of a new game

They didn't develop it in-house but they own and published a new Oreshika last year.

My rating goes: WA4 > WA:XF > WA2 > WA3 > WA1. Haven't played enough WA5 to rate it and I don't remember much of the WA1 remake. Oh and though I rate WA1 as the worst game in the series, it's still a pretty good game (with great music & that killer opening movie) as long as you can ignore the awful battle graphics & don't mind it being rather simple compared to the sequels.
I'll happily buy PS4 version of WA3-5. And WA2 could definitely use a remake if only to fix the questionable localization we got.

6 seems like a trick number for jrpgs. Some cross it successfully and join the pantheon of long-running series (FF, DQ), some come close but never reach it, ultimately staying in the shadows (Suikoden) and some end up in a crude bastardization of the series (Breath of Fire). Wonder where Wild Arms falls.
It's hilarious how he got banned for port-begging for a console that does not exist yet.

Yeah WA 5 was solid, I remember I was really surprised by the quality of some animations.

Remember. Wild ARMs 4 has given us one of the most ridiculous things ever seen in a video game: a man shooting missiles out of the sky with two revolvers, running out of ammo, and then punching the last one, while flying in the air by shooting at the ocean with said revolvers.
No. I am dead fucking serious.

I'm not going to get too excited over this. Bigger series have hit major anniversaries with nothing coming of it *cough*Metroid*cough*. It's a shame too. I really love the hex battle system they used in 4/5. If they combined that with the super western feel of the first three games we'd could've had a real gem.
Instead we got a SRPG and then a whole lotta nothin'.
FUND IT.
You know, I kind of regret getting rid of my copy of WA4.

Okay, yeah, no more of that.

While Wild ARMs has always used anime style and inspiration, it started to go overboard with its use of tropes. I don't mind anime influence(character designs, for instance), but when they start piling in the tropes, it gets out of hand.
And I don't mean to talk down to anime fans, but regarding games that started off as anime-inspried, but tried to do their own thing that eventually "de-evolved" into aping anime tropes "cause anime/manga fans love that shit...derpy derpy doo", a lot of those franchises ARE better than that sort of thing.

Man, would I love it if they remade WA1 (again) or WA3 for PS4. The others are good, but those two are the pinnacle for me.

My greatest dream for the Wild Arms series is for there to be more western influence and less everything else.

And people wonder why Wild Arms 4 is my favorite game in the series. Actually, it's mostly the great SRPG-lite gameplay & the awesomeness that is Raquel Applegate, but the ridiculously over-the-top anime cutscenes are definitely a factor.

I couldn't relate to the terrible "adults r bad!!11" storyline in Wild Arms 4. It's my least favorite in the series.
Exactly the problem with Alter Code F. It's a remake of game I like the most, how the hell can they fuck up it? D:

Raquel is the strongest character ever, since she can take out Ragu O Ragula with a single attack.
WA4 had some serious quality issues, though. It was extremely dumb how your Lombardia sword or the Alter Code F carryover data would get wiped on New Game Plus. Wtf was that? Or how about the move "_hantom Line"? It's the first ability in the game, guys.
That would be how they get $60 bucks or more from my wallet that's for sure!
Especially if it looks great!
