We called it: Wild ARMs XF to North America via XSeed

XSeed games just emailed me, asking, ” Are you ready to carry around the fate of a dying planet in your hands?” Now, this is a question I’m asked at least twice a week by a variety of acquaintences, but hearing it from XSeed felt odd. Turns out, the company is bringing Wild ARMs XF to North America in the Spring of 2008. Though, this probably doesn’t surprise anyone.

Wild ARMs XF is a strategy RPG that takes places on a plane of hexagons instead of the usual squares. In my brief run with the Japanese version of the game, this aspect was cool at times, but a little awkward at others. Full previews and reviews will come in due time, as usual.
