Wild Arms was the first true RPG for the Playstation. It is also to this day among the best games ever made. It has a superb story to many games, the best soundtrack of all time, and many good characters and character backgrounds that play large roles in the story.

     You start off as Rudy Roughknight, a 16 year old living in Surf Village (no, they don’t actually surf). You follow a troublesome kid into a mine and end up releasing a sealed monster and causing an earthquake on  the village and are banned. This is bar far not the story though. After that you eventually get into the real story. You meet up with a scientist named Emma who informs you of the demons plaguing the planet of Filgiea and that the Guardians (similar to espers and guardian forces) of the planet have all died of leaving the planet vulnerable. You must gather a group of people and stop them.

     This game bar far has the best game soundtrack of all time and will always have the best. About 15-20 of the songs are fully orchestrated and feature excellent melodies. The dungeon and town themes are nice too, but the battle themes get a bit old. The graphics are a bit like Lunar’s but more polished and feature 3D battles.

     Being the Wild Arms series fan that I am I say that more people need to play them, Final Fantasy is over rated and steals the spotlight from the little guys like Contrail, Game Arts and Tri-Ace. I give Wild Arms a 9.0 out of 10.0.
