This Definitive Version was one of the more difficult choices to make. It seems easy enough to simply choose the game that had many years to enhance and improve on its source material, however, in this particular instance, the classic still holds up.

Wild Arms on the PlayStation one manages to keep a steady pace and although it has less content and characters, it tells a more concise story. The sprite work of the original still holds up, and even if it can potentially seen as superfluous at times, having equipment to manage is part of the RPG experience.

Why have a world map? Why not just teleport to the next location? Why have side quests? Why stay at inns to recover health? Some things just always is and always was.
