A childhood favorite, played it for hours as a kid. Sure, it's a shorter title as far as Playstation RPGs go, but it's a magical time. The fusion system is probably why I spent so much time on it, and is the highlight. Tameable monsters (called "minions") actually have their model and animations altered depending on what other monster you fuse with them - you can even re-fuse the hybrids with other hybrids! There's a touching story about love, duty and sacrifice. The unique tribal setting and music are incredibly memorable. The art direction of the game being headed by Studio Ghibli alum Katsuya Kondō make it a beautiful experience. It's well worth preserving for future generations just because of how truly unique a monster-battler it is.

The animated sequences between each new stage alone makes this game memorable. And I loved fusing the monsters I captured. No game was the same. I loved it as a teenager.

Even after all these years I still play this game from time to time on my childhood PS1. This is until this day the best fusion System a Game ever had. Better than any Pokemon or Shin Megami Tensei game, since it really morphes the two monsters together. The Graphics in Studio Ghibli Style was also amazing. (It also had great German Dubbing) I wish that this game would make it on GOG.

The epitome of my childhood, my first JRPG ever. Fully voiced dialogue, gameplay with an interesting mechanic that lets you mix the monsters you catch to mix looks and abilities if done properly. Pretty good story too. I paid $80 for a disc recently, once I finally found it. It was worth the nostalgia trip though. This game deserves recognition........but I'll keep dreaming.

Wild Arms 3
Wild Arms 3The first two games in the Wild Arms series garnered attention and acclaim as they brought classic console role-playing to the original PlayStation. Though crafted in the same story-telling spirit, Wild Arms 3 (titled Wild Arms Advanced 3rd in Japan) boasts major technological improvements and a number of new gameplay elements. Featuring "stroke-shaded" animation-style graphics, a "Wild West" setting, and a completely 3D game engine (not just for battles, as in the previous games), Wild Arms 3 is designed to make good use of the power of the PlayStation 2. Wild Arms 3 features four main characters and takes the time to let players become acquainted with each of them. The "drifters" Virginia, Gallows, Jet, and Clive are four very different adventurers whose paths intertwine toward a shared destiny. Though each has his or her own personal motivations, all four seek an explanation for why the once-verdant lands of Filgaia have become dry and barren. Differences must be overcome and the characters must act in harmony if they are to truly understand the ancient mystical forces at work. As the drifters move through the desolate land of Filgaia, they are challenged with a number of mysteries to solve and barriers to overcome. The different special abilities of each character must be used to solve different parts of the game's complex puzzles. A technique dubbed "expressive communication" is designed to allow players to quickly gauge the moods and emotions of the onscreen characters. Monsters, villains, and other horrible creatures stand between the drifters and their destinations as well. The Wild Arms 3 turn-based battle system is designed to offer players an intricate level of control, allowing tactics that make wise use of the various powers and weaponry of the drifters while presenting combat with cinematic flair. Wild Arms 3 delivers everything RPG gamers expect: an in-depth storyline, puzzling dungeons & a unique battling system. Journey along with Virginia, Jet, Clive and Gallows and discover the mystery behind the Prophets to revive the memories of Filgaia. Explore dungeons to unlock secret pathways and find mythical treasures. Gun Blazing shoot-outs deliver intense cinematic battles. Wild Arms 3 embodies tried-and-true elements of a role-playing classic.

Wild Arms 4
Wild Arms 4You play as a young teenager named Jude Maverick. You live in a quiet village that floats high above the ground, unaware of the world that lies beneath it. But one day, your world is shattered to pieces, and you descend onto the earth to face the terrible reality: the world of Filgaia was devastated by wars. A few settlements amidst rusty tanks is all that is left of civilization. The democratically elected government has some plans for improving the conditions of the world, but as you meet a young girl whom they used as a tool for their purpose, you realize you must find a better plan to save her, and the world, from complete destruction. The fourth installment of the Wild Arms series abandons its traditional Wild West theme and is set in a post-apocalyptic world. The gameplay system introduces hex-based battles. Battle screens are divided into seven hexes, each one of which can hold several party members or foes. You navigate your characters on the battle field, trying to force the enemy into an uncomfortable position. There is also a variety of skills you can learn and apply in battles to get benefits. As in previous Wild Arms games, the dungeons contain many environmental puzzles to solve.
