Wild Arms 2 may wind up being way cooler than 1. The translation is rougher, and theres often some lines of dialogue that are just complete nonsense, but they improved on the combat a lot. Magic has become just an FP skill like anything else, and it doesnt spend the meter, it just requires certain thresholds to use it. At first I was thinking "well this just means I cant heal unless the magic girl has done something" but each level adds one point to the combat starting FP pool, which is a super smart way of giving you powerful magic you can use, and also making it something you can level into using all the time. Also you can avoid random battles, the puzzles seem more robust, the visual design reminds me of OG DQ7 (and the DQ DS remakes)...this game kicks rear end! I love Wild Arms!
