Wild Arms promised to be some kinda Western (yeehaw) flavored Japanese RPG; it sounded interesting so here I am checking it out!
*WARNING* These are going to be sets of EXTREMELY long videos. I do NOT recommend this as being easy to watch, though, I've seen worse RPGs for watchability. I'm uploading mainly for sake of posterity. It's also in 60 FPS, and I'm all for having copies up on YouTube in that format. Delve in as you see fit.
Collecting items and doing the rounds in Baskar, the town of no church and we "live off the land" kinda motif. There's an area up to the exit on the north, but there was no indication as such so I figured it was a regular exit. It's unimportant at this point anyway.
I also go into some random fights out of town to use "Mystic", Cecelia's ability, on items and equipment. Most of her armors and stuff will cast spells of hers, pretty useful ones, too! If used on an item they extend the use to each person in the party, usually. Good stuff.
Mt. Zenom is this video's dungeon. If I remember correctly, I'm going here to secure one of the Guardian statues. Wonder how this will all work out? ...turns out I get stuck walking against the statue if I "use" it on the side of it. Nice.
The boss is made a bit easier by Mystic-ing out a "Status Lock" since this prevents things like getting poisoned and junks.

This was downloaded from the PlayStation Store and is being played on a PS3, so it's the PSN version. I am also recording it in 60 frames per second and the game is indeed running at that speed for most of the time -always a treat! Not in the 3D battle scenes, though! Those are in 30 frames per second; y'know, the standard rate we're all used to.
I'm all for playing on original systems when available, but I'd figure that the PS3 can manage a PS1 game though it's not using the same hardware. And it can! Mostly. There's one very odd glitch that happens every so often in which the music totally craps out and gets all muffled and weird. I think the first time it happens is when you get a cutscene with the game's villains discussing their schemes. It'll switch back to normal if you cycle areas/the music, but it happens a bit too often for my liking. Apart from that, this is a fine rendition of the game (as far as I know.)
