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:
“And graven with diamonds in letters plain
There is written her fair neck round about:
“Noli me tangere for Caesar’s I am,
And wild for to hold though I seem tame.””
—Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)
“The sturdy Irish arms that do the work are of more worth than oak or maple. Methinks I could look with equanimity upon a long street of Irish cabins, and pigs and children reveling in the genial Concord dirt; and I should still find my Walden Wood and Fair Haven in their tanned and happy faces.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
