The fifth installment of the Wild Arms series sees Dean Stark return to the world of Filgaia as he chases his dream of becoming a golem hunter. Alongside his friends Rebecca and Avril, Dean embarks on an adventure to help Avril recover her memories and uncover the secrets of this mystical land.
Wild Arms 5 is a third-person role-playing game that allows players to explore the world, engage in turn-based combat with up to three party members, and utilize various abilities such as guardian beasts and combination attacks. The combat system is based on a force meter, which increases when characters attack or are being attacked.
In the exploration mode, Dean can use vehicles or run around, while dungeon exploration offers two modes: Action and Shooting. During Action, players can jump, slide, and interact with the environment, whereas in Shooting mode, Dean can choose from various cartridges to manipulate the environment.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a fantasy role-playing game where players explore the world of Filgaia, uncovering ancient lost technology called "golems" from ruins. The game focuses on unraveling the mystery behind the disappearance of this advanced civilization and its impact on the present.
Story
The World of Filgaia
Long ago, the world of Filgaia possessed technology beyond imagination. The lives of those who wielded this technology, and the reasons for its disappearance along with all historical records, remain a mystery.

How to Play
The area outside of towns and dungeons is called the "Filgaia Map". Areas within towns and dungeons are called the "Active Field".
Filgaia Map Information
•
A. Shows available actions and corresponding buttons. Actions change based on the character's location.
•
B. Mini-map for checking bearings and travel direction.
•
C. Displays exact coordinates if a specific item is equipped.
•
D. Shows if encounter-break is on or off. Toggle with the R2 button.
Using the Mini-Map
The character is always in the center of the mini-map. A white line shows the direction of movement, and a white V-shape indicates the character's heading.
Map edges are marked with "N" for north, "S" for south, "E" for east, and "W" for west. Green marks designate field area entrances or save points. Equipping a special item can increase the mini-map's displayed area.
Using the Map of Filgaia
To display the map of Filgaia, press the START button while on the Filgaia Map. Use L1 or R1 to display the entire map or scroll between southwest, southeast, northwest, and northeast quadrants.
Your current location is a "V" mark. Visited places are squares: green for towns/villages, red for dungeons.
Traveling the Filgaia Map
Use the left stick to move the character and the right stick to change the camera perspective. You will encounter save points, berry trees, and other interactive objects.
Press the button to interact with objects.
Search System
Press the button while navigating the Filgaia Map to use the search system. This helps find undiscovered items like treasure boxes and other surprises.
Berry Trees
When you find a tree with ripe berries, push the button. You will receive heal berries and potentially other items.
Save Points
Standing on a save point allows you to save your progress and cure any status ailments.
Searching Nearby Areas
Press the button to search the area immediately surrounding your character.
Traveling by Vehicle
On the Filgaia Map, you can travel by train or Monowheel. To use the Monowheel, you need the "Call Whistle" to summon it.
To use trains, you must have either a Class A License or an "FX ticket" to board.

•
E. Mini-map display. The color of the mark at the top changes based on the approaching route tracker's color.
Route Trackers
Route trackers indicate connected sections of the dungeon. A blue mark means a route not yet taken, yellow means visited, and red means just came from.
Press the SELECT button to show or hide route trackers.
How to Read the Dungeon Map
