[edit] Game Name

The correct title of the game is Wild ARMs. In the game, it's specifically noted that ARMs stands for something... but it's been so long since I've played the game, that I can't remember what. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.91.227.57 (talk • contribs)

It is not. Please see Talk:Wild Arms series for details. --Zeno McDohl (talk) 17:28, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

It stands for Ancient Relic Machines. Though if I'm not mistaken, Wild ARMs 2 gave a different meanings. Buy you're right in that it should be "ARMs" rather than "Arms."--WishfireOmega (talk) 11:50, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I repeat, it should not be ARMs. --Zeno McDohl (talk) 04:02, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] To Do

It's been a while since I played, so I don't have much to say as for a description.

  • Add description
  • port data from series article where appropriate
  • find a cover
  • Add more screenshots (in game etc)
  • Reference to sequels

[edit] You cannot add your personal opinions

You should read the posting methods of Wikipedia before posting. This is NOT a game review site, and thusly you should refrain from phrases like "this game is very good" or "extremely lovable characters", etc.

[edit] Number of Players

It's true the game is only 1 player, but both controller ports are able to control the game, I figure we should mention this somewhere. I'd play with my brother a lot. (Split up party control during battle) --Zeno McDohl 15:09, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, that's right, if you have two controllers plugged in then the second controller can basically do anything that the first one can, so in a way it's two-player. Quite fun for battles, but there's always squabbling about who gets to control who... Dragonfly888 17:58, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Character list

Because the heroes only appear in WA and WA:ACF, I think we don't need another page for them. We could just list their information etc on the WA page. --Zeno McDohl 18:25, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Move completed.

The title "Wild Arms" was improperly capitalized. I have moved this talk page manually at the request of Zeno McDohl. Apologies for the inconvenience... --E. Megas 23:49, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

  1. It is reasonably well written.

  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    a (fair representation): b (all significant views):
  5. It is stable.

    a (tagged and captioned): b lack of images (does not in itself exclude GA): c (non-free images have fair use rationales):
  7. Overall:
    a Pass/Fail:

It looks pretty good. A copy-edit may be needed to weed out issues and redundancies for the FA push, and script cites for the story section are also a good idea. Passable on the whole; nice job. — Deckiller 03:05, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alter Code F

Was the merge really necessary? The game apparently has remade graphics and soundtrack, new dungeons, characters and FMVs. Wouldn't that be enough for its own article? Haven't played the game though. --Mika1h (talk) 22:56, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
