Wild Arms 5

Like every game in the Wild Arms series, Wild Arms 5 takes place in a new version of the world of Filgaia. The people of this Filgaia are presently being subordinated over by the Veruni, an alien race that landed on Filgaia 100 years ago. Dean Stark, the protagonist of the story, lives in a secluded village away from all the turmoil. He dreams of one day leaving the village to pursue his dream of becoming a Golem Hunter like his idol Nightburn. While in the mountains, Dean and his childhood friend Rebecca spot a Golem's arm fall from the sky and land in a cave just in front of them. Upon entering the cave, they find a girl curled up within the Golem's hand. The girl only remembers two things, her name (Avril), and the words Johnny Appleseed. After receiving the pair of ARMS (special guns) she was holding, Dean, along with Avril and Rebecca, decides to embark on an adventure to find out what the words Johnny Appleseed really mean.

Wild Arms 5 is a second-person video game. There is no world map in this game. Instead, the player traverses a world that is scaled like those of Final Fantasy XII and Dragon Quest VIII. Besides walking, the player can travel across Filgaia by employing various vehicles, including a train and mono wheel. The field avatar cannot be changed; Dean is always the leader.

Dungeon exploration has two modes. In ACT (Action) mode, the player can jump, slide, and interact with objects, similar to controlling Jude in Wild Arms 4. In SHT (Shooting) mode, Dean draws both of his ARMs and can fire them freely. By employing various cartridges, the player can interact with the environment in a number of ways. Some examples include activating distant switches, breaking down obstacles, lighting torches, freezing objects, and grappling up to higher places.

Wild Arms: The Vth Vanguard also known as Wild Arms 5, is the fifth video game in the Wild Arms series of Western-themed Science Fantasy role-playing games. The game celebrates the series's 10th anniversary by featuring cameo appearances of characters from the previous games. Produced by Media.Vision for the Sony PlayStation 2 platform, it was released in Japan on December 14, 2006 and in North America on August 28, 2007.
