I [Heart] Wild Arms 2nd Ignition

In my last post I talked about the Wild Arms XF soundtrack and how some of that old magic I use to feel about the series was somewhat rekindled. This time I want to talk about the magic that is still there, even after all these years.

After writing about the Wild Arms XF soundtrack I couldn't help but start writing about the Wild Arms 2nd Ignition soundtrack. That in turn made me crack out the game and play it again. At first I was afraid I wasn't going to be as entertained as I was by it in the past considering all its shortcomings and less than bright and shiny presentation that accompanied most Squaresoft games in 2000. Also against me was my waning interest in games having sold most of my games off last year.

All my fears were obliterated as even fifty hours later this game still flippin rocks. All that's left to do is fill out the bestiary, beat the optional/hidden bosses for the best weapons and get two more Necronomicons (an accessory that increases a characters magic by 150).

Anyway, I can't wait to fire up the original Wild Arms after I finish WA2.
