Wild Arms: Million Memories reveal on August 31st (ForwardWorks/Wright Flyer) [iOS & Android]
- Thread starter Nirolak
- Start date
Also the brief little teaser they released yesterday.
Extremely hopeful for this given how Arc the Lad R turned out, and also Wright Flyer's work on Another Eden.

Yeah. I was just running out of title room, and Sony ForwardWorks wasn't fitting.
Not like this.
Well, if somehow it could lead to this series' ressurection, why not? Don't expect me to play a gacha game for long though, as I won't spend a dime for this.

Would be really, really surprised if it wasn't.
But I won't because it's very clearly gatcha. Hopefully the gameplay will be good, I like the HEX battle system.
Any gacha game where the first visual is "here's all the old characters" is definitely less reassuring - but at the same time,it's also a project that apparently has a similar mindset going into it like Arc the Lad ( original staff from previous WA games working on it too ) and while 'words are just fluff', they did come out with the write-up back when the title was first revealed citing how they're working their hardest to not destroy the memories of the WA franchise.
So we'll see - I guess. Anecdotally speaking, WA would realistically be the project that Sony would put the most investment in as it's the bigger of the two between Arc the Lad and Wild Arms, and Wright Flyer is also more prolific.
It really hurts that all those mid-tier SNES/PS1/PS2 franchises have ended up like this. :( Not that they're on mobile per se, but they have all these gatcha mechanisms. Wild Arms was my very first JRPG and I have such fond memories. WA3 had very good music too.
sad :(
I really never understood why something as trivial as a game being translated for the west is so "confidential". If you are not sure yet, just say "we'd like to" or "we are planning on it" or "maybe at some point" or something like that.
Cool.
It's starting to hit me again how much I miss the casts of WA3 and 5, I'm starting to feel the drive to replay them again.
Yeah, WA3 was so good! Virginia's still one of my favs too.
Also, this got me re-watching videos of each of the OPs. Can't believe it's been so long since WA5. Loved that game so much and the visuals and character designs. It's sucks we've never gotten to see them take those visuals to the next level on either PS3 or PS4. I definitely didn't expect the series to just stop like that.
sad :(
Even Nintendo could pull an English version for Dragalia Lost......... /: (
It's a ForwardWorks game, which means it's never coming out of Asia.sad :(
Confidential is more reassuring than "never"
Because as of when FW was first started, their answer was Asia only .

Logically yeah, but I think I'm just super skeptical when the title is "Million Memories" and it looks like it could easilybe a FGO-like thing with Wild Arms character crossover and fanservice overriding what could be a cool new Wild Arms games with a brand new story and setting.
Oh wow! That's really unexpected but so so appreciated. Wild Arms 1 & 2 were some of my favorite PS1 games.
Like all the other dead IPs got resurrected by Gacha- and Pachinko-spinoffs?
:-/
Heh. A man can dream, though I do admit it is wishful thinking. Fire Emblem: Heroes performs exceptionaly well, and it gives more attention to the series (let's hope that Three Houses will be good - yes, I'm aware that Awakening is the one that saved the series from oblivion, not the gacha game).
This is my biggest concern, really. FGO can get away with it because the universe they made allows for all sorts of weird timeline hopping hijinks from the getgo, so everything is canon in a weird way.
As far as I can remember, while all the WA games technically take place on a planet of the same name, they all occupy separate unrelated timelines (I think).
I'd be fine with older characters being party members/attacks that aren't actually story canon, but I want a beefy original tale to go with this. Arc the Lad R spoiled me on that too much.
The live-stream ended and the website is live : https://wild-arms.com/
So, if I'm not wrong, it's a brand new story, but one that basically blends all the main protagonist from all Wild Arms games into one timeline of its own unique story. Since the game seems to only have equipment-gacha, and no character-gacha, it means all the protagonist of the Wild Arms games are canonical to the MM story and not just some random avatar that's from a gacha.
Game design seems to be ala Dragalia Lost/Shironeko Project, real-time action RPG. Gacha comes in the forms of cards that you equip to characters.

They couldn't even bother to use their, imo, quite good and unique newer battle system? I really did enjoy the HEX system and really did think it could be adapted to mobile without too much issue. Kinda of a wasted opportunity I think.
So it's Tales of VS? Don't know what to think of that honestly, not a fan of the idea initially but maybe the execution is good.
I only played WA4 that use hex system. The combat system in wa4 is kinda slow of I remember it right. Probably not too suited for mobile games
Oh boy this was certainly super disappointing. What worked for Arc the Lad R totally isn't working here. With Arc the Lad R they are basically delivering a game that's pretty similar to Arc the Lad 1 in format and concept, without betraying what the series is. With Wild Arms here, I dunno how many WA fans really want a dungeon crawling slash em up action RPG on their phones.
It's was on WA5 too, and I disagree. I think it could be adapted to mobile, make the turns faster and have quicker but still flash animations. Anything but a action rpg, the series was never that and there is room for rpgs on mobile.
