You play as a young teenager named Jude Maverick. You live in a quiet village that floats high above the ground, unaware of the world that lies beneath it. But one day, your world is shattered to pieces, and you descend onto the earth to face the terrible reality: the world of Filgaia was devastated by wars. A few settlements amidst rusty tanks is all that is left of civilization. The democratically elected government has some plans for improving the conditions of the world, but as you meet a young girl whom they used as a tool for their purpose, you realize you must find a better plan to save her, and the world, from complete destruction.
The fourth installment of the Wild Arms 4 series takes place in a post-apocalyptic world. The gameplay system introduces hex-based battles. Battle screens are divided into seven hexes, each one of which can hold several party members or foes. You navigate your characters on the battle field, trying to force the enemy into an uncomfortable position. There is also a variety of skills you can learn and apply in battles to get benefits. As in previous Wild Arms games, the dungeons contain many environmental puzzles to solve.
Wild Arms 4 was released on the Playstation 2 on November 24, 2000, for fans of action & adventure games.

Enemies & Characters
JUDE MAVERICK
An active, energetic boy living in a village spared by the war. He discovers he is a "Gene Driver" when he accidentally activates the ARM.
ARNAUD G. VASQUEZ
A smooth talker who avoids hard work or responsibility by playing the odds. His philosophy of "living well" changes, leading him to join Jude in battle.
YULIE AFTREIDE
Helped by Jude to escape her captors, she feels guilty for involving him. Despite her situation, she is upbeat and prefers to avoid conflict.
RAQUEL APPLEGATE
A Drifter, accomplished swordfighter, and artist who travels Filgaia searching for beauty. Her blunt speech hides a caring and protective nature.
How to Play
Saving Game Data
Break Point
Investigate Break Points from the Active Field to save the game. Approaching a Break Point will bring up options such as "Save," "Modify ARM," and "Meeting".
Choose a selection to display sub-menus for each selected command. Some commands may not always be displayed or selectable, depending on your game progress and current situation.
Filgaia Map
Press the button from the Filgaia Map to display the "Save" and "View Badge" options. Select "Save" to bring up the save screen.
Save
Choose a file to save data to with the left analog stick or directional buttons and confirm. If save data already exists, an "Overwrite saved data?" message will appear.
ARM Modification
ARM upgrades become available at Break Points after meeting certain conditions and acquiring the items needed for upgrades. See page 17 for how to upgrade.
Meeting
Meetings can be held between Jude and each character, or among all party members. Depending on the game progress, dialogues will vary.
Basic Actions
Talk/Examine
Press the button while facing a character to talk, or when in front of an object to examine.
Kneel
Press the button while standing still to kneel.
Jump
Press the button once to jump. Press the button while moving with the left analog stick or directional buttons to jump in the direction the character is moving.
Double Jump
After jumping, press the button again while in mid-air to jump even higher.
Actions Using a Tool
Tools will appear when a character approaches a Photosphere inside certain towns and dungeons. Press the button to grab a tool.
Tools, varying in types, are items that are necessary to clear dungeon traps and obstacles. If a tool breaks or disappears, move until the Active Field area switches, then go back to where the tool was found and it will reappear.
Actions in Active Field
Stomp
After jumping, press the button while in mid-air to stomp.
Sliding
When moving, press the button while using the left analog stick or directional buttons to slide.
Climbing Up/Down a Ladder
Press the button while facing a ladder to climb onto it. Then use the left analog stick or directional buttons to make the character climb up or down the ladder.
Jumping Backwards
Press the button while holding onto a ladder to jump backwards. This can be a useful way to move your character to a desired area if there is another ladder or object to grab onto in the direction of the jump.
Sword
A sword can be used to break a wooden chest or to strike an object. If used continuously to strike an unbreakable object, the sword will break.
Wonder Staff
When a lit staff is swung around, it can throw small fire balls. It can also be used to strike an object, just like a sword.
Bomb
A bomb can be used to blow up large obstacles. Press the button while holding a bomb to light the fuse. The bomb will explode in a few seconds.
Action Triggers
L1 Button
Lock On
When the L1 button is pressed, "?" or "!" appear over important objects, and Jude's impressions are displayed at the bottom of the screen. Use the L1 button around suspicious objects or rare objects to get clues on how to advance in the game.
R2 Button
Encounter Break
Use this button to turn ON or OFF Encounter Breaks. While an Encounter Break is on, a character can move without random monster encounters in the Active Field.
However, to enable an Encounter Break, "Break Points" in the Active Field need to be activated. Once the Break Point is activated, it will turn white and the character will be able to switch the "ENC" indicator in the upper left of the screen to the "OFF" position to avoid random enemy encounters.
How to Activate Break Points
Break Points have to be activated before they can enable an Encounter Break. In order to activate a Break Point, certain conditions, which vary for each Break Point, must be met.
R1 Button
Accelerator
Pressing the R1 button while the ACG gauge (see page 5) is filled will enable the character to move with super speed until the gauge drops to zero. The gauge is displayed on the upper right of the Active Field screen.
Use this "Accelerator" to advance through areas that cannot be navigated otherwise. There are hidden items that only appear in Accelerator mode. When entering a new location, use Accelerator mode to search the surroundings. Pressing the R1 button again cancels Accelerator mode.
Available Items
β’
Gella: One unit equals 10 gellas.
β’
Gella bag: One bag equals 100 gellas.
β’
Hourglass: Completely refills the ACG gauge.

Detector
Commonly used throughout the Wild ARMs series, "Detector" can be utilized by pressing the L2 button to search for hidden items. It becomes a very useful feature towards the end of the game.

GELLA CHAIN CHALLENGE
Try to acquire all the gella within one Accelerator timeframe. The gella you acquire consecutively will increase the longer you keep your chain.
HAVE A MEETING WHEN YOU'RE STUCK
When you don't know where to go next, have a meeting at a Break Point. After discussing what has happened, someone might suggest a location to head to.
PUT YOUR SKILL TO THE TEST AT THE BATTLE ARENA
In one of the towns in Filgaia, there is an arena where challengers can fight monsters for sport. If you win the battle, there are rumors that you can acquire special items which you cannot get anywhere else.
CREATE A SKILLFUL CHARACTER USING GC POINTS AND BADGES
Use the GC Points to learn particularly useful skills before you learn them during a regular level up, and by equipping badges, characters will add various special attributes. Use GC Points and badges wisely to create your own skillful character.
COLLECT EX. FILES
Ex. File is an extra element to enjoy playing the game thoroughly. When a specific condition is cleared, new privileges will become unlocked from the Ex. File.
