Wild Arms Alter Code: F

I beat Wild Arms Alter Code: F yesterday. I really didn’t complete many of the optional side quests because I found no real point to. Most of them were just super bosses that I usually don’t end up beating anyway unless I really am bored. I got the three hidden characters and basically got to level 70.

To be honest, the game wasn’t all that great. I remembered enjoying the original a lot more. It’s like they took all the awesome things from the original and took it out and put in some new shitty things instead like the migrant system and skills. The music was remixed to make tracks sound more western which is good in a way but the original tunes were more memorable.

The puzzles weren’t even all that epic in this remake. Actually, there weren’t even all that many puzzles to begin with.

The end bosses went down extremely fast. Just one blast from Rudy’s Gatling Raid and it was over. The ending was really drawn out too. They kept dragging on a point for like 20 minutes about saving Filgaia. The original had sprites and its so weird that the game was portrayed SO much better with them. The ending in the remake felt really forced, I guess.

Don’t get me wrong though. The game was enjoyable but it has nothing on the original.
