the first three wild arms games are awesome, but if you can't stomach the translation for wild arms 2 then unfortunately you don't really have any alternative. it's really clunky in a way that's funny at first, but it gets pretty tiring to read because all the dialog is so stiff, especially with wild arms 3 coming right after it with a really great translation that reads super smoothly and has a ton of personality

wild arms 4 and 5 are really divisive, you might want to skip out on 4 cause it's mostly known for having really bad pacing
