Wild Arms 3, known in Japan as Wild Arms Advanced 3rd (ワイルドアームズ アドヴァンスドサード, Wairudo Āmuzu Adovansudo Sādo?), is a role-playing game developed by Media.Vision and Sony Computer Entertainment for the Sony PlayStation 2 video game console, and the sequel to Wild Arms and Wild Arms 2. Sony released it in Japan and North America in 2002 and Ubisoft published it in Europe in 2003.
It is the first game in the Wild Arms series in which all party members are able to use ARMs. It was also the first console role-playing game released in the United States to use cel-shaded animation. It replaced equippable armor and weapons with 'Personal Skills' via Guardian (Mediums) invocation.
Famous quotes containing the words wild and/or arms:
“Come, dear children, let us away;
Down and away below!
Now my brothers call from the bay,
Now the great winds shoreward blow,
Now the salt tides seaward flow;
Now the wild white horses play,
Champ and chafe and toss in the spray.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its labourers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.”
—Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890–1969)
