New Wild Arms RPG in Development

Category: PlayStation 2, Posted: 01/09/2006 at 01:07PM CST

You are on the TV program Jeopardy, and are now in the final round. The category is Early RPGs. Alex Trebek gives the answer: The first RPG game to appear in the United States on the original Playstation. You must provide the correct question to win fame, fortune, babes or hunks. Well, fame and fortune at least. What will you put down as the question? (Fade in Jeopardy theme music¦) Time is up, announces Alex. The first competitor scribbles down, What is ~Brave Fencer Mushashi™? I™m sorry, you dweeb. That is incorrect! Trebek laughs maniacally. The second, rather nerdy looking contestant writes, What is Suikoden? I™m sorry, you noob. You are incorrect. Get a life and quit playing video games! You are confident in your answer. How could those other losers miss this one? Alex turns to you and asks for your answer. You reveal proudly, What is Final Fantasy VII? Alex smiles knowingly. You smile knowingly. The audience smiles knowingly. Alex says, I™m sorry you awful excuse for a humanoid. The correct answer is ~Wild Arms!™ Final Fantasy VII was released afterwards. The nerd wins by reason of having one dollar more than you. The show attendants drag you away while you scream, I want my mommy¦ You wake up in a cold sweat and realize you were only having a gamer™s nightmare. The above, is probably the longest lead-in to rather short news story. RPG fans have reason to celebrate as the grand-daddy of RPG games enters its fifth installment entitled Wild Arms: The Vth Vanguard. The storyline will follow in the footsteps of the series and takes place on the familiar settings in the lands of Fargaia and Filgaia. The game will be developed by Media Vision and will be available for the PS2. No release date for the title has been announced.
