About this product

Product Information

All places have their own legends, and Filgaia is no exception. Legends speak of a Blaze of Disaster that stained Filgaia with its flames and threatened to destroy the planet itself. But all was not lost. The Guardian Blade Argetlahm called to a young girl born to a noble family, and she became the Sword Magess. With the Guardian Blade and the Guardian of Desire, Lucied, the Sword Magess fought the Blaze of Disaster on an equal footing.<br><br>Seven days after she acquired the weapon, the Sword Magess disappeared from Filgaia wrapped in a torrent of light, taking the Blaze of Disaster with her. The Guardian Blade Argetlahm was left embedded in the earth. As time passed, the Sword Magess' tale became a familiar legend to all of Filgaia. But the final chapter of the legend has not yet been written.<br><br>Wild Arms 2 is the sequel to one of the PlayStation's first American RPGs. Like the first game, Wild Arms 2 is set in the land of Filgaia. Although this game sports a new cast of characters and some historical revisionism, fans will have no trouble recognizing many elements of the first game's world.<br><br>The game adopts a traditional role-playing style, with players leading a ragtag group of unlikely heroes through the 3D world completing quests, gaining experience, and generally doing good deeds while on their way to defeat the final bad guy. Wild Arms 2 does set itself apart with a few innovations, though. On the world map, players can use the search button to find gold, items and town locations. Players can also elect to evade some of the random enemy encounters in the game. Whenever the player's party is about to experience a monster encounter, a bubble with an exclamation point appears over their head. If the bubble is white with a black exclamation, players can avoid the battle by pressing the O button.<br><br>In a nod to its predecessor, Wild Arms 2's main characters each have an array of special tools unique to them. These tools include implements like throwing knives, bombs, and even steel-toed boots. Players must use these tools to solve the game's various puzzles.

  • Good JRPG, not my favorite in the series

    This was the second Wild ARMs game I've played, and it's reminded me a lot why I've grown fond of this little series. The classic turn-based gameplay is comfortable, the characters are likeable, the story is decent, and the music has its highs and lows. However, Wild ARMs 3 has it beat due to a slightly better presentation and more strategy involved during battles, as well as an actual reason to replay the game. Wild ARMs 2 is still a good game, though. I recommend it if you're looking for something a little under the radar. :)

  • A remarkable gem that I didn't know I needed.

    I've been a collector of the original Playstation for quite some time now, and in turn I've played most of the great RPGs on the system. I don't know how this one completly slipped my grasp, but man I'm glad I emulated this one. I ended up purchasing this after about an hour of playing because I couldn't stand emulating anymore. This game deserved a purchase through and through. This is the first time in quite a while I've actually fallen in love with a PS1 game. If you like turn based combat, and really great story telling, this is definitely for you. I will say one downside to this is the font they used for dialog boxes. It's sometimes hard to read, but I'm also viewing it on a 50 inch TV so maybe I'm too close lol. It just seems to need a black outline over the text, but other than that I can't find a single fault so far. I'm about 10 hours into this so far and I've loved every minute. Each character has their own special action command(the girl has magic, while the other two have a mighty boot and throwing knives). Definitely pick this up if you haven't. Also, for those interested I'm using the Framemeister to upscale it and it doesn't have any sync issues other than the main title screen. So gameplay is nice and hassle free!

  • Amazing cutscenes.

    Dude, I don't know how come this doesn't have a bigger cult following. It's good. The battles are well done, the music ranges from wild west to sci-fi in no time. It's pretty darn good. Love the characters.
