Wild ARMs 4: Difference between revisions

The gameplay of ''Wild Arms 4'' mixes together RPG and platforming sections, and an experimental new battle system based upon hex grids. While interesting, the system had a few balance issues that were straightened out properly in ''[[Wild Arms 5 (Video Game)|Wild Arms 5]]''.

 

 

* [[Adults Are Useless]]: Though present in the game, there are many instances that subvert this trope.

*** If anything, this game seemed to be trying to create an ''Adults Are Evil'' variant in its place.

* [[The Alcatraz]]: Ilsveil Prison, which appears in most of the games. Also doubles as the [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon]].

* [[Ax Crazy]]:

** Belial is nuttier than a fruitcake.

* [[Badass Normal]]: {{spoiler|Gawn}} and Augst are the only members of Brionac without a supernatural power or special ability, and the former is nevertheless their best fighter while the latter is their strategist.

** In the main group, Arnaud seems to fill this role. He has no connection to arms and no combat experience. Just his brains and knowledge of spells.

* [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|Gawn and Kresnik. The latter may still be alive at the end, but as for the former...see below.}}

* [[Hero Stole My Bike]]: Jude borrows one to chase a train down.

* [[Human Aliens]]: It's a Wild Arms game, so this is standard.

* [[Humans Are Bastards]]: {{spoiler|Hauser}} is eventually driven insane by this belief.

* [[Trauma Conga Line]]: The second half of the game seems bent on making Jude suffer as much as possible.

* [[The Wall Around the World]]: The barrier surrounding Ciel.
