1. As much as I like stratergy RPGs, the psp seems to have had a whole lot come out in the last year, it would of been nice to see a tradition Wild Arms RPG, but I'm looking forward to XF all the same.
2. I've always liked the Wild Arms series, mostly since the wild west theme is so different than the traditional fantasy setting.
3. Having not played the latest Wild Arms for the PS2 since it has compatibility problems with the PS3, I'm not sure how they have progressed, but I like the series to become more nontraditional when it comes to random encounters, I remember 3, or 4, can't remember which I played last, has way to many random encounters, though it did have some nice ways to avoid them, and I think thats a great thing to do, let players decide when they want to fight, sometimes I just was to get to the next location before quiting and don't want to fight 10 battles to get there, but sometimes I do.
