I got interested in playing this game solely because of this track. Trying so hard not to look at comments anymore to avoid spoilers.

[@belmontzar]

Hell yeah

[@alias588]

A simple graphics, software, and mechanics update would be lovely though. Wild ARMs: 2nd Ignition had very surprising depth on both an emotional and story level for a game of that era, and I'd venture to say that even 95% of games since that time can't come close to its particular level of quality, story-wise at least. It's one of few games I accepted into the same echelon as FF7, FF3, ZOE 2nd Runner, Tales of Destiny, and so on. It's one of the greatest games of all time, in other words.

[@FFXI_Addict]

Yoooooo, you gonna put 2nd Ignition on the same pure platinum tier as 2nd Runner? Ok, after all these years, I will try Wild ARMS 2 again. I only got 14 hours in before a bug caused me to lose 3 hours of playing and never touched it again. But to compare it with some of my own favorites? You win, 8 year old comment. I'll give it another chance.

イントロが滑らかに繋がり過ぎてる気はするけど 所詮イントロだからこっちの方がいいのかな

[@TatsubeiYagyu]

You're not getting the part where while this is happening on one side, on the other, from Lord Blazer's perspective, he's getting stomped. So if he's hearing it, he's not hearing a reminder about comradeship, but the song of his defeat. Hence why "he would downvote this song." Regardless, it's a bit obvious that this isn't meant to be serious discussion, homie.

[@IidosGamingDen]

"Is that figure the "Hero of the Sword"...? From Argetlahm!?" "Let's go. Let's all go fight this together!" "That's it. That's it exactly! The Argetlahm isn't a weapon made to bury demons. By gathering the will to live into power, it becomes the key to open the door to the future. It's not a power to be wielded alone. It's a power for everyone to wield together!" "Has it arrived? Has my prayer arrived? If it won't arrive when I pray alone, then we'll pray together as one. Everyone, everyone was born on this star, and lived here!" "Everything depends on being alive. Only when you're alive do you get to fall in love, or fight with others. If tomorrow comes because today's life light starts the creation of the future...then this light should be delivered to those battling at the end of today!" "I can feel it! Right now, all the souls of Filgaia are trying to join together. It's stopping all life from fighting simply to stay alive. We are not powerless! We have the strength of our united hearts! Take this power, and throw it against the wars confronting you!" "This battle is to save our precious world! That's why we must fight, too! We don't need to be protected by someone special. Because it's important, so very important, we must learn to protect it ourselves. If someone has to be the "hero", then anyone should be able to be the "hero"." "We're not going to push it all off on Dude. Because it's so important, we're going to protect it with our own hands! I'm not sure we can handle it alone, so if we get in trouble, help us out, OK Dude? When you get into a bind, the Young ARMS could help you out in return!" "I love it! This world we live in, the life we live, and Ashley all...I like today better than yesterday, and I like the unknown tomorrow even more. Let's head off to tomorrow together! Everyone together..." *99999*

Wild Arms 2 probably has my favorite ending in an video game. Much respect for bringing this to us. It unlocked. . .a fond memory.

[@MelficeCyrum]

Best final boss music, and IMO, the best final boss in a video game. So what if he's actually not difficult to defeat?! The combination of the symbolism and themes make it a truly awesome fight.

lol, am i the only one imagining that the wild arms protagonists are having battle of the bands against suikoden protagonists, lol it makes sense actually, both the first 1 and 2 for WA and suiko were the best , the 3 later installments are all on the ps2, and both series definitely need a 6th one xD

Inb4 Kaneko just redoes WA2's final battle for Symphogear XV.

[@TheGoldenPS1]

Kaneko stopped being a lead designer of WA after WA4. He handed it over to Shirasaka-san who designed WA games beyond WA4 and has been director on Chaos Rings Omega and Chaos Rings III and battle planner on Rings and Omega. If somebody blames HEX system on Kaneko it's on Shirasaka but WA4 in general was a bad game which made Kaneko stepped down from the series and hasn't touched it since WA4. He wanted a younger generation to lead forward for the series as he started to feel old for the gaming industry evolving quick. Shirasaka never worked on XF but Dragon Ball for Wii. After that it has been Chaos Rings on smartphones and then radio silent after CR3. Ah yeah, btw. A new Wild Arms has been reported to be in production this year. MediaVision was looking for a character designer last year who can properly draw models of people to use realism. Their custom engine can only create manga-like images such as Digimon Story, Valkyria Chronicles 4, the smaller games. So I assume they must be using Unreal Engine. Archipel's documentary from last year can give you a hint from Keiichiro Toyama that Japan Studio can now make big games thanks to Unreal Engine which can create Japan-like images and they have been reorganized. With both from a producer who said same thing for 2017 ambitions that "Japan Studio is moving forward with the creation of ambitious new titles and new title concepts at the same time" and studio director mentioned new technology over their custom engine that showed some age on PS4 is not a surprise for them to use Unreal Engine. With Unreal Engine they can go directly to design concepts without worrying about making a engine. Before everything had to be made from scratch but with Unreal Engine they can now create Japan-like images more flexible and bigger. Custom engines for Japan is coming to an end the larger the games get. Unless you plan to have 300-500 people on a project which is not sustainable in Japan according to studio director at Japan Studio.

[@RadiantEdge027]

[@doscuramenos]

Amazing how they build up the expectative in this song, specially in the beginning of it (the first minute), and someti-me in the middle of it with the sax (about third minute - 3:18 onwards) until Breaking Everything soon after those!...

[@Justforvisit]

If they're ever going to do a Remake of Wild Arms 2 and this time, as so often nowadays, they go for an action adventure instead of an RPG-approach..... ....THIS has to play as the final boss theme!

[@LordExor]

Sounds like it came straight from the 80s.

[@LordExor]

It was neither positive nor negative. Overuse of staccato horns, synth, and the sax are unmistakable hallmarks of 80's compositional styles.

[@leonpijudo6875]

a little more orquestrated would be legend

[@deckire]

Instead of the Saxaphone it should have had the trumpets, to match the Opening themes.

I guess Jet fits more as young male lead than "old man" Clive or "young adult" Gallows.

Possibly the greatest Internet cover ever made!...

[@LordExor]

@Tacklevines Well it's an 80s style song. Has to have a sax.

[@TatsubeiYagyu]

You weren't really being sarcastic. You were being condescending. Stomping upon individuals kinda became a theme in this ridiculous exchange, didn't really express my seriousness. If anything, it would prove the contrary, I don't know anyone that would use phrase in a serious manner. I...also don't get why you're trying to emotionally torment me with the horrid experience I could have possibly had against him, but uh, okay. And it's tough luck for YOU if you're not a homie, homie. :P

[@GadGades]

@relmdivider He didn't much more than any of the other male characters. He was the main cause he was what young? Without Clive they would have been lost, and Gallows probably did the least but he helped too. I think he's there just cause he matches the other guys probably because he's also derivative of rudy.

[@Ciam1]

I was not being condescending. I think you were. And yes, it was sarcasm. No one is tormenting no one. All I did was just wondered what a video game antagonist did to piss you off so well. I believe you are being too serious because It sounds like you're threatening me.

[@GadGades]

@ booooooooooooooooo unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, which to be fair I'm not quite sure what is.

[@thehopefulhero5738]

I just realized that Asgard from Wild Arms 5 is on the cover... Can't tell if it's the final build though.

[@AkaTrios]

+TheHopefulHero Rudy from WA1, Ashley from WA2 and Jet from WA3 are on it too. Those 3 are protagonists ._. I am confused about Asgard xD

[@thehopefulhero5738]

The Golum next to Jet is what I'm wondering about. It kinda looks the Golum Dean gets in Wild Arms 5, but since Asgard is a thing in each game in some shape or form, I guess I'm reaching here. Oh, and Jude from WA 4 is also in there.

[@AkaTrios]

TheHopefulHero I know what you meant xD I am just curious that Asgard (or Dean? Havn't played WA5... It definitely looks like Asgard of Alter Code F and 3) is in there since all the others are protagonists. Ah ^^ Havn't played 4 yet. Just played Alter Code F and 3. Should i play 4 and 5 too?

[@thehopefulhero5738]

I personally enjoyed Wild Arms 5 except for the ending, and Wild Arms 4 is something you should see yourself before deciding. Both of the games change things up regarding gameplay with the Hex System and plot compared to the,pervious entires. I still enjoyed them, as it's still Wild Arms, though I would recommend 5 over 4.

[@AkaTrios]

TheHopefulHero Alright, I'll try 5 first then and give 4 a shot after. Thanks :)
