stellarwindWhy must you be made of so much awesome. ;-;
So, I've been toying with the idea of making a Wallpaper based on my Pokefic-in-progress, and seeing how it's sort of a huge Inspired-By-Wild-ARMs fic, I've been watching random Wild ARMs intros in order to try and find a certain sense for how the group shots looked in that.
... I found myself really... really.. squeeing... hard.
Words cannot begin to describe just what that series does to me. WA2 and WA4 in particular. Their intros...
Something about those two particular games really makes me squee hard. The original WA was awesome, don't get me wrong, but... I dunno.
... Also I kinda sorta realized something. WA3 -gets me-. Maybe it's the fact that sometimes it feels like a glorified dungeon crawler, maybe it's the fact that a WHOLE MESS OF EVERYTHING is thinly-disguised inferior copies (Tributes, I know, get over it) of characters from the original games MINUS a trait that made the original game character awesome. >>;
But still. I will get around to giving 3 a proper playthrough someday. If I live that long.
Anyway. Sorry. Random burst of fangasm. I had to. @_@

Also, even though WA 3 does have those flaws... the English version intro is still epically epic. But then, I love the first OP, too. It's a classic... Wah Wild ARMs. I need to play more WA 5 ;-;
Also also, you should totally look through some of those book scans/images and see if any of those scenes inspire you for this wallpaper :)
