Wild ARMs: Alter Code F
Im so psyched about this game after hearing about it and seeing screenshots from E3. Anyone else looking forward to this? Its a remake of the original playstation rpg with updated graphics and added features. The battle system is going to be redone and new characters introduced. The original was pretty much a sleeper hit and didn't get all the praise it deserved in my opinion. This was probably because it came out before Final Fantasy VII, which introduced a ton of gamers to the genre. The original game had one of the most memorable intros which they have redone as well. I still hear the Wild ARMs song in my head every now and then . You can download the new intro as well as some in game footage HERE. Heard that the release date is sometime in October.

I loved wild arms! it was a fantastic game. How can anyone whose played it forget that awesome intro. Anyways as much as I loved the game I never got around to playing part 2 or 3 but I also read that they weren't quite as good as the first.
Ugh... I just watched the new intro and I completly forgot how catchy that song is. It took me months to get it out of my head the first time. Now I'm going to be whistling that tune again for a long time. |

Twilight Venom is a good series, the story and plot is well planned, interesting characters from the Falgaia like the Crimson Nobles and the Popopipipepos (did I spell that right?). Twilight Venom is quite fun to watch. ^^ |

I'd say there's some romance involved in the Wild Arms games. Don't remember specifics as much aside from the first game/ACF, but think I can safely give that a nod in general. I'd say the focus is much more on adventure and such. I think in the later games like 4 they definitely made romance a bit more of a focus in the main story.

Thanks for the input ^^, i got just one more question to ask, is wild arms 4 a direct sequel to Alter Code F ? Is it in the same universe or something, i know that you can import saves from Alter Code F for some unlocks but are they also story related ?

Alter Code F and Wild Arms 4 are separate games. Some recurring themes but that's it.
The save data will give you gameplay bonuses but won't affect the story afaik. Here if you need a list: http://wildarmsaltercodef.agetec.com/wa4.php |

Great in that case i'll go with 4 because that's the one i'm more interested in, for now the main reason i wanted to go with AF was because i thought they where related somehow besides the bonus. (Not that i don't plan to play AF to but i would rather focus on 4).

Still prefer the original myself which ACF was a remake of, but nostalgia could also be playing a strong factor there.

I love both of them honestly. I have a strong feelings for the original but the remake was good in it's own right. Loved the remixed and added music. The one that just plays while getting to the main menu gives me the chills every time. If the remade it the third time I would buy it again. I'm that much of a fan. ˇˇ

Would have liked them to leave the fast draw system untouched though. I missed the ones they took out in this remake and how they changed how they were learned. I thought the original was clever having Jack be a guy who could learn from his situation and develop his own techniques. This just felt cheap. It's still a good game though. A lot was done well. Just give me a PS3 level remake and I'd never ask for anything game wise again .

Spoiler:
Not to mention the heroes, Jack looked like he was put through a washing machine, and Cecilia's tight clothes made her look anything but innocent. Rudy was about the same, no complaint with him. I also preferred the old Fast Draw system better, where you keep trying the attack until you finally mastered it, then you could use it at will. Now if they kept the original character designs, but made the game fully 3-D with the same story, I'd also be satisfied. But we'll see. |

Not a fan of the ''running around'' turn-based battle system ether. I would have preferred if it was left like the first and a second game. Would have also liked if the kept the fast draw untouched. And also, they should left an ability for Rudy to use knives and other weapons but keep his sewed-off like ARM for specials. Would have been cool if you could upgrade it too. You know, put different gadgets on it, but that would have been a bit too much. Still I love it to the bone. I actually feel like playing the game right now while I'm talking about it.
