one of the best wild arms games out of the trilogy for its powerful story. it's pretty much the same as any other WA game that encourages exploration and doesn't hold your hand to the next location in the story. the game gets extremely easy in late game if you plan on gearing up your party for the final battle, but it was worth it for just the writing and characters alone... all of the party members get heartfelt and sweet writing and character development in a decaying world with immaculate vibes of a wild west with some sci-fi here and there. also love the WA1 fanservice in the story as well as the final boss; i thought it was well played out. in general it's a just a damn good game.
