Mar 30, 2008 Destructoid Review: Wild Arms XF. The PlayStation Portable has become quite the role-playing gamer's system as of late. Square Enix's Crisis Core is making big waves right now, but the string of. As mentioned before, Wild ARMs XF combines strategy with role playing, utilizing the hex system that Wild ARMs 4 and 5 brought to the table. The mechanisms of this setup revolve around moving between these hexes on an instanced playing field.
Wild Arms XF is a 2D turn-based tactical role-playing game, creating a gameplay experience somewhere between Dungeons & Dragons and chess. Players are given control of a small squad of characters (six or less) and placed on a grid-based map resembling a geographical location (a swamp, a town, a river), upon which they fight battles to progress through the game. As with most T/RPGs, positional advantage can be critical to victory, and players are encouraged to outmaneuver their enemies as well as outgun them. The game emphasizes positioning and maneuvering by the inclusion of 'Formation Arts,' which increase attack damage when an enemy is surrounded by your characters in a line, a triangle or a circle. Wild Arms XF is a member of the small subsection of T/RPGs whose battlefields are based around hexagonal tiles instead of squares. 'Combination Arts' return from previous Wild ARMs titles, allowing characters to target an enemy in a waiting state and then deliver their attacks simultaneously with the next ally to attack their target. If the player succeeds in executing an uninterrupted series of commands, the damage inflicted upon enemies will increase significantly.
On the other hand, the enemy gets the same advantage. 游戏简介Come along with an all-new cast and storyline as a favorite RPG series goes portable!

The first setting is built on a dying planet called Filgaia, where only the armed confrontation between the group of knights was named Chevalet Blanc of the Elesius kingdom, and the “Council of Elders”. Clarissa Arwin and her brother Felius in search of the magic sword “Iskender Bey” to avenge his mother were accidentally pulled into trouble. With tactical gameplay on the 2D platform, Wild ARMs XF will faithfully recreate the journey to solve problems on Filgaia and recreate the arduous life of the Felius brothers.Fortunately, they are not alone with the help of Labyrinthia – a detective, providing important pieces of information, analysis to give about what is happening on the battlefield, some predicts, and clues to lead yourself into victory.More specifically about the gameplay, you need to choose an army (maximum of 6 members) to start the battle. The battlefield is modeled on a grid of squares, where you have to observe and arrange the attack line appropriately, be it straight lines, triangles or circles (depending on the enemy’s formation to arrange, ranked in the most reasonable way) with the best strategy.
The bottom line is the control that comes from the player, about the composition and efficiency brought from the military units, taking advantage of the ability from the classes. For players who have experienced Final Fantasy Tactics or similar products, this gameplay seems to be a familiar part.
In addition, you can also spend some time to go around the areas on Elesius’s “world map”, visit and chat with townspeople, buy consumable items and weapons to Prepare for the next battle.
