The fourth instalment in the [[Desert Punk]] ''[[Wild Arms (Franchise)|Wild ARMs]]'' series, released as ''Wild ARMs: The 4th Detonator'' in Japan. Notable for combining [[Platformer]] elements with a experimental strategic RPG battle and stat growth system.
 
''Wild ARMs 4'' follows the story of Jude, a child who has grown up in the small, peaceful village of Ciel. At least, it's always seemed to him to be a small, peaceful village.
Line 12:
With him is Yulie Ahtreide, [[The Chick|a young girl]] victim to horrific army experiments that have left her with the ability to control ARMs; Arnaud G. Vasquez, [[The Smart Guy|a cocky but intelligent Drifter]] who fights with powerful magic; and Raquel Applegate, [[The Big Guy|a swordswoman]] and artist searching the world for its last remnants of beauty.
 
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]]''.

Line 63:
* [[Morph Weapon]]: Jude's "Shapeshifter" ARM.
* [[People Jars]]: In the White Orphanage.
* [[Prequel in Thethe Lost Age]]: It seems to be set during a period of time constantly alluded to in other games in the series of a massive world war where cyborgs and nanomachine monsters freely roamed the lands. Many of the world's bigger cities have been destroyed in the chaos and are slowly turning into the types of locations you see in games such as ''[[Wild Arms 3 (Video Game)|Wild Arms 3]]''.
* [[Recurring Boss]]: Surprisingly averted, considering the series. Only two members of the [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]] are fought more then once.
* [[Sea Monster]]: The Sapphire Drake.
Line 74:
* [[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.
* [[What Happened to Thethe Mouse?]]: Several members of Brionac whom the party defeats but doesn't kill.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?|What The Hell, Villain?]]: {{spoiler|Gawn is ''pissed'' when he finds out Lambda murdered the Cabal.}}
* [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]]
