Wild Arms: Alter Code F is a role-playing game for PlayStation 2 serving as a remake of the original Wild Arms. It features enhanced visuals and an expanded plot set in the desolate world of Filgaia. Players control Rudy, a young orphan with the ability to wield ARMs, along with Cecelia, a magic user, and Jack, a skilled swordsman. The trio embarks on an adventure combining exploration and dungeon-crawling while aiming to save their world.
Although it is essentially a remake of the original PlayStation version of Wild Arms, Alter Code F brings enhanced gameplay, improved graphics, and an expanded storyline to the PS2. Players take command of three unlikely companions in a surreal and desolate world called Filgaia. The young orphan Rudy has a unique ability to physically bond with `ARMs,` or `Ancient Relic Machines,` which seem to have been left behind by a forgotten civilization. The runaway princess Cecelia can command forces of magic, and the swordsman Jack is adept at a number of trades. These three `Dream Chasers` seek their fortunes in the unforgiving countryside, and might just end up saving the whole world along the way. The role-playing adventure includes overworld exploration and intense dungeon-crawling. Wild ARMs: Alter Code F is compatible with the PlayStation 2 HDD, so veteran PS2 gamers with older model consoles and the hard drive accessory can load the large, two-DVD game program to disk in order to decrease load times.
