About
Wild Arms is a Western-themed role-playing video game developed by Japanese software company Media.Vision. Originally released in Japan in 1996 for the Sony PlayStation video game console, it was later translated and released in North America in 1997 and Europe in 1998 by Sony Computer Entertainment. It is noteworthy for not only being one of the first role-playing video games on the PlayStation, but also one of the few to feature a Western American setting and motif. The game features 2D computer graphics for normal gameplay, while battle sequences are rendered in 3D.
What players say
A distinctly 90s JRPG with a unique Wild-West-meets-fantasy world and a beloved, soaring soundtrack that sparks classic adventure. Long overshadowed by Final Fantasy VII but cherished by fans as a great RPG in its own right.
