About this product
Product Information
In the quiet country of Tradguld, there are many sleepy little towns. Langoud rests on the coast, Sharan is the floating city where most of the trade and business is done, and Myscatonia is clouded in mystery and wonder. Each city has nothing in common with the other except for the fact they share the same country. That is until the Dianova sets their sights on them. Dianova is a dark evil empire bent on conquering the world through swords and magic.<br><br>Meis Triumph lives in the nature-rich town of Kant deep within the countryside of Tradguld. He has no worries and lives with his loving family who happens to be powerful Spirit Blacksmiths. Then the Dianova brought their war-machine crashing down on his quiet life. Everyone was forced to flee in terror and Meis became separated from the family he loved. He fled to Boyzby where he vows to free his people from the terror and oppression of the Dianovan Empire and where he meets the beautiful Sodina. Now the adventure truly begins.<br><br>Thousand Arms by Atlus is an RPG with a faceted story and intricate gameplay. As in all RPGs, it has a turn-based combat system but only the character in the fist position may attack. The other two members of your party are used for defensive back-up.<br><br>You play as Meis Triumph, heir to the Triumphs, a family of Spirit Blacksmiths. You can add two other members to the war party. You must travel the world and talk to people in the cities and towns to get valuable allies and information that will aid you on your quest. Stop in the village shops to get new armor, weapons and other items to truly make your band of heroes unstoppable.<br><br>You also have to go on dates as all great heroes do. Rather than seeking love, these dates have another purpose. Keep your date happy and you can get special weapons, information and new abilities. So be sure to be a gentleman and always pay attention to what must be done in the mini-games to win her over!<br><br>As a Spirit Blacksmith you have the ability to make weapons better by increasing their attack and defensive power as well as adding new features and spells. Of course, along the way you must battle enemies, explore dungeons and perform mini-quests in order to achieve your ultimate goal: the destruction of the Dianovan Empire and the evil Mecha.<br><br>Are you hero enough to save your people? Are you suave enough to be a great date? Do you have the emotional and spiritual power to be a truly powerful Spirit Blacksmith? Pray you do; your entire race is depending on you.Product Identifiers

An Underrated Atlus Classic
If you've ever wondered where the dating sim aspects of Persona 3 may have been inspired by, look no further. At the time of release in Japan in 1998, Thousand Arms was a revolutionary take on traditional JRPGs by introducing a crafting system, as well as a dating mechanic. The game was developed by the now defunct Red Company, and published by Atlus. It wouldn't be until 2006 with the release of Persona 3 on the PS2 until we would see the return of a similar concept with the introduction of social links, which has now cemented itself as a staple of the series. Thousand Arms is often overlooked, it's a shame too, but not unexpected given the little exposure it may have had in the states upon release. To anyone interested in playing a retro JRPG filled with charm for the PSOne, I'd highly suggest looking into this one. I'm just glad I can physically own this game outside of emulation. Unfortunately, due to licensing issues, this game will likely never see a digital rerelease on PSN in the future. My advice would be to track down a preowned copy for a reasonable price, preferably in good condition. I managed to get this in near new condition with the manual and original case intact for 59.99. I have no regrets about my purchase.

Thousand arms
A great rpg/ dating sim by Atlus. I mean that says alot right there. The characters are really interesting where you actually want to read what they say rather than just click through. The story is pretty good better then most. Doesn't stack up to persona 3 or 4 relatable too those though with the dating. Actually one of the most interesting parts imo. This game is a ton of fun and the art design is great.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great Hidden Gem from Atlus
The combination of a unique RPG with Compelling Dating Sim Sections which tie together nicely make for a compelling game that is very fun to play; it is on the easy side though and it doesn't do the best job explaining how dating in the game works.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
