Recap of Wild Arms (RECAPitation) 

"...and S.T.A.R.S." Came out of nowhere, very fun little reference.

32:54 nice reference. THE IRON FLOWER SHALL NEVER WILT. RAISE YOUR FLAG.

This was THE first JRPG I remember playing. It blew my 12-yo mind to smithereens and made me a lifelong JRPG fan.

Cecilia: "Let me come with you!?" Jack: "No" Cecilia: "Let me come with you!?" Jack: "No" Cecilia: "Let me come with you!?" Jack: "No" Cecilia: "Let me come with you!?" Jack: "No" *Cecilia cuts hair* Jack: "Ok fine"

I love Wild Arms. It's a great Western steampunk JRPG.

Wild ARMS 1 and 2 were my very first JRPGs. My brother gave me his PS1 and a handful of games and I had never seen games like these before. Their mixture of western, fantasy, and science fiction (especially in 2) continue to inspire me to this day. But Wild ARMS 1 will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for this wonderful recap and allowing more people to be aware of this series.

Edit: I'm recapping the original version, not Alter Code F, so don't mind name- spelling/translation discrepancies. Edit2: I should also mention Wild Arms will be the last new 'Series' I open ... outside commissions, going forward I will either do stand-alone games or focus on completing open series. (this is just a temporary softlock until I close out some series) Big thanks to the patrons to voted for Wild Arms in the polls. I will say this game has a lot of good ideas with mixed results on implementation. It was made by a studio that never made an RPG before and was working with launch year PS1 3D visuals (spritework is good though), and Boy are both of those facts glaring. That being said, its not the worst first try I've seen, and I'm impressed they went back to remake it, and made a series out of it (seeing how far they've come is nice). Overall, this is a rough installment, as the magic system and dungeon delving are the best part, but with the amount of wheel-spinning plot points, and average-at-best combat, the game is hard to recommend (play the remake unless you just want to appreciate the origin). It's not fair to call this "the RPG people played while waiting for FF7" as this has a lot more than that going for it. Watch the recap, listen to the music (which is good) and perhaps play the later games in the series. Halloween RECAP will be: Shadow Hearts

Wild Arms 2 next... cant wait for that wincest 😂😂

I think this may be my favorite RPG of all time. I appreciate getting to relive this story through this video.

I never realized how flashy zed was

I miss the old JPRGs coz of their very awesome and deep stories. It's been rare lately that a JPRG has a very good story. And I never realised that this game is veeeeeery long!

Ahhhh the song.. I miss this game. Looking forward for RECAPitation for Wild Arms 2 and 3.

Omg literally one of my favorite games ever! To this day, I still play this game 😍 Thank you!!! 🙌🏽

I’m playing thru Wild Arms 2 again since it’s my favorite PS1 JRPG. It’s really something special and has a lot of dark moments and mature characters featured in the story. Also I picked up this save file about 30 hours in so I’m a little fuzzy on the first half of Disc 1. It bums me out more people aren’t fans of Wild Arms 2 and the Wild Arms series in general.

32:55 yooo, nice IBO reference. Barbatos is such a cool ass gundam

You should do Odin Sphere! Vanillawear comes out with some hidden gems ❤️

This was exactly the type of video I was looking for. Wild Arms was one of my first video games I ever played, and this informative essay had more detail and content than I thought possible here on RU-vid

I finished completing Wild Arms 1 last week on the PS4 and it was really good. The soundtrack is memorable and I fell in love with it. The intro gives an idea on what the setting of the game will take place. Great video. Sorry I'm playing catch up on RECAP

Thank you for this. This is the first ever recap/let’s play I’ve watched in lieu of finishing a game but am glad I did.

A Nemesis shout out... A Gundam shout out... The randomness and nonchalance of them make it funnier.

Man I full on cried when the earth golem died, both when I played this game and watching this video.

one of my favorite games and series of all time, I love listening to these while I'm at work, can't wait to here more

Great recap of this game. This was one of the first Playstation games that I owned back in the day.

SUPER LOVE THIS! I've been waiting for this for ages! Thank you!

Cooooool!!! If it’s not on your list please do star ocean too!! I love this type of sci-fi fantasy

that intro... still gime chills. still play it from time to time on my psp

This game made a huge impact on me when I was younger~ To this day, I still think about the music and certain scenes at least once a week

This was one of my first RPG and It will forever hold a special place in my heart.

Excellent video, excellent game. Hope you do Wild ARMs 2 because I think it's the best one in the series. Hope you're having a good day!

Thank you so much. I recently finished replaying this. You are Awesome

A huge personal favorite of mine. Loved this game so much and I consider it the best in the franchise. Hope to see at least up to 3 on this channel. Great job and I love these recaps

This was amazing. Thank you!

The saga of Filgaia begins.

Thanks for doing this one, Black Mage. Wild Arms is truly one of the all-time greats.

I love this game so much, so many good memories, the music, the characters, i would say the first Wild Arms marked me since childhood like nothing else!

Found out about this series like a year ago and played 3, absolutely loved it!

The overworld track Lone Bird In The Shire is taken directly from The Ecstasy Of Gold from The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly.

I been waiting for another recapitation, i need MORE!

I chuckled when he said "the guardians of Earth, Wind, and Fire" in that exact order 😂

People sleep on Wild Arms so much. Wild Arms 5 is probably my favorite ps2 Game of all time I hope you end up doing a recapping of that game in the future.

great video as always!

Such an awesome game, cant believe i missed out on it back then, thanks a lot for these videos man. Much appreciated

Definitely one of my favorite jrpgs, thank you for making this video. 👏

What a ride this game is. Great recap man.

THANKS TO YOUR VIDEOS. I've played most of the games in your videos as a child and I really don't understand the stories at the time.

LOVE this game. Thanks for the recap!

I haven't looked through your channel very thoroughly but I hope you did one of these for wild arms 3. That game had quite the story.

So happy you did this one! I got to maybe 20:30 ish and for some reason the next stuff just didn't work for me. It's like the disc was ruined or something. It was back in the rental days so I just kept renting it and renting it and trying to get past it but nothing ever happened. I even restarted a few times, with codes though lol, and it still didn't work :/

Ahhhh!!! My second favorite JRPG! Fantastic!

I was wondering if ya would do a video on the wild arms 2 ?

If I recall what interest me the most about this game when I first got it decades ago was the mere fact that you can bring back deleted saves from your memory card.

The open music is freaking awesome

Wild Arms is the hotness. I was a big fan up through 3. Hope to see more!

Nostalgic punch in the face... thank you for this one!... and all your videos for that matter lol

Oni, thank you for what you do.

This was a great series, and it kept getting better and better. [Except WA #4] Thanks for the memories!

this game have alot of puzzles to solve, a nice and memorable music and soundtrack.

Love your videos. I hope you get to touch upon the Shining (Force) series in the future.

You need more subs. Your a gift for gamers. Savior of youtube. Thank you for your work. I can't wait until you get more attention.

My mother played this when I was younger I really wanna try to play this again

We need the rest of the series!

Wild Arms 2 is where it's at. My second JRPG, after FF7 but before the Breath of Fire series.. WA2 was almost an obsession, everything about it was so cool especially the combat system.

I love this game. I remember getting stuck in the garden since with the low resolution I couldn't see the door that had the open path to continue.

Yoooooooooooo FINALLY!! lol. Ive scrubbed the net up and down for this under rated gem. And thank you for BOF1 as well I really appreciate that. Most persons seem to dislike it because its typical i guess, but wayyy back when that was epic AF to us in the fam lolol

Love, Courage, and Hope Guardians are released from the Love, Courage, and Hope Shards cracked by the power of each character’s emotion in that moment. The shards were acquired earlier at The Guardian Temple. It was a powerful moment for each of them. Those Runes are the best Runes to equip for each character for each respective status boost. Damn this story & game are so good. This game is a Hidden Gem.

Guardians: You are not the heroes we want, but the ones we have. Rudy, Jack, and Cecilia: You know, we don’t have to do this at all. But whatever. Let’s go.

Wild Arms 3 is my favorite Wild Arms game

Great Recapitation, though I am really amazed on how you make recapitations of games I am currently playing.

You gotta do number 2 your videos are the best

Can you do the original tales of destiny? It was one of my favorite old school rpgs.

Best intro music ever... 😀🤘

One of the best games and stories ever told on the playstation.

Wild Arms came out when I was 12 years old. The part of the game when the demons destroy Adelhyde shook me so badly I didn't play it for months. The music was so haunting and looking at all the NPCs dead was awful. Whenever I play it now I still feel that. Stuck with me forever.

I will always love this series

Loved the video. Not played the game since 1999

Oh the absolute fucking nostalgia hitting me like a truck.

This game certainly set the stage for interesting games. I love the Force Gauge and what it becomes in the future titles, but I do miss the Crest Graph system in this game. This series in general also has some strong OSTs, but the original carries the best one (In my opinion). I also loved the prologue that this game provided for each of the individual characters. It provided an excellent tutorial for each of the characters, their Tools (Another system I've come to love), and provided good starting character exposition by allowing us to find out who they are before they come together. I also compliment (Generally) the game's usage of the characters. All three characters received some excellent character development on their journeys, the shoddy translation aside, and I especially love the energy between Jack and Cecilia's characters. I also remember killing monsters in Saint Centour and when I learned they were actually people... God, that hurt my young heart and I still remember that sobering realization. All in all, I really liked this game and remember it fondly. I may have to play it again. Thank you very much for your RECAPitation and I'll meet you on the next battlefield. Easter eggs found: S.T.A.R.S.!

One of my favorite rpgs. The first one and the last one i played (I think 4) are the best! Oh and i was also obsessed with the theme song and learned it on guitar. Theres an awesome video on youtube of a guy playing it on acoustic and he puts both the rhythm and lead together.

This is one of my favorite series of all time! Was super sad when Million Memories got closed down. : (

Im amazed how few people noticed that Ziekfried appears in Soul Caliber as Siegfried, and in this game has the soul Edge....

That music... It's punching me right in the nostalgia.

Can't wait for wild arms 2

I can't wait for WA3's recap one day. Its literally my favorite game, ever. WA is a close second too. I don't know what it is about this series but it just crawls into places in my heart I didn't know I had.

Can't wait for recap of wild arms 2

Another wonderful video showing me a game I've never played. This is what this channel is for. Also, in my opinion, Top 10 channels to fall asleep to. This is a compliment.

The game that got me into RPGs. Love it!

2:38 me running away from my life's responsibilities

Thaank you! Wild Arms 2 and 5 please. With few battle mechanics clip. Ty.

I loved this series as a kid well except for 4 sadly. I should return to it. Also like the IBO reference. Iron Blooded Orphan Barbatos.

LOL I love that stars references

36:29: Cecelia "The next time you wake up, I promise you will see a peaceful Filgaia." Uhm... Wild Arms 1, 2, 3, 4... yeah, probably best to get lots of sleep! But this was a great Playstation RPG around the time of FF7. Fun, smaller cast of very dear cast, and the lonesome desert and soul melody in the opening. Also, I loved how you could change the name's of spells, items, or equipment, even minor things you could customize on the menu. Still, having battle was a riot when you would see casting in words on screen... "Cecelia's @#$%^" is cast. "Jack uses his *&^%%!" Rudy counters #$*&!! and similar shenanigans. Made battle soooo much more fun!! And.. interesting to explain yourself to friends. IF you could.. Still, its a GEM. Loved the series - 1 and 3 were my favs... wish they would have left the customize feature in.

Among the first turn based role rpgs i got my hands on by sheer chance from trading with friends, game blew me away even though i barely knew how to complee the first hour of game play. The cinematics of these games always sucked me in and really made me feel connected to the characters... the graphics sucked but were next gen for the time its incredible to conceive how far we have come. I never got my hands on the sequels, but i remember this story on this one vividly and the first time I found my very first [GOLEM]... I knew in my heart I would be able to activate him and use him as a vehicle and to my amazement I powered him up and secured his undying allegiance. This is the most epic part of my comment in the great abyss of the internet ----- [I then wrote in my Wildarms case sleeve booklet that comes with all games, In the notes section in the back of the booklet that I found whats called and ancient [GOLEM] and planned to use it to to locate the others and fight the demons, I wrote that I now know my ultimate enemy [MOTHER]

One of the greats.

Wild arms 2 is my first video game . My favorite game

Hopefully you do the rest of wildarms

that S. T. A. R. S. reference tho... caught me off guard

Iron blooded orphan golem Barbados I see you

I love this game! It's the first game I finished for the PS1. I should probably try and play the Alter Code F version.

Just a follow up as it serves as a true closure for Boomerang and Luceid: if you finish the last challenge in the Arena (unlocked by coming out of Ka Dingel), you fight Boomerang Flash, a combined entity of the two (Luceid being the sword). You defeat them and he gets a closure of living the life with no regrets, and you get the Divine Blade sword for Rudy (which is implied to be Luceid). In the Alter Code F remake this is how you gain Luceid's guardian force.

Looking forward to that moment when they stop everything to go buy 500 goat dolls
