History YMMV / WildARMS3

** In general, because the game is all about options and tailoring the party to suit your needs, it's not entirely difficult to break the game in half once you start filling out your mediums. Because the game is so generous about your customization, you can readily modify each character's entire build short of their firearm specs ''midbattle.'' Going further, this means you can suit your party to utterly counter any enemy it comes across given some patience and ingenuity. If you know to prepare for an elemental onslaught going in, even the {{Superboss}} can be made a joke given you can set up party members to be ''entirely immune'' to elemental damage.

** Equip Finest Arts on Clive (or Jet) and then reset his ARM so there's only two bullets in it. Let destruction ensue. Notable in that the Final Boss seems to be built on the ''assumption'' that you will do this, as they're a bitch to kill otherwise, and the BonusBoss fights absolutely ''require'' you to do this. You ''can'' beat Kraken and Ragu o Ragla ''without'' Finest Arts, but it is a ''very'' slow process otherwise.

* {{Squick}}: Show of hands; who else was freaked out to high heaven by Malik's...devotion to his mother?

* TastesLikeDiabetes: The artists and model renderers made sure to make Clive's daughter, Kaitlyn, and 8-year old Virginia as cute as possible. They succeeded.

* FoeYay:
** Overlaping with LesYay: Virginia and Maya. It's subtle at first, but around the third time they meet you wonder why they just don't admit it already. [[http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=190999 Even the creators were aware of it!]]
** There's also a LOT of fans of Virginia and Janus. During the prologue and the first chapter, Janus flirts with Virginia a few times, even inviting her to join his team. Virginia, however, only finds him despicable. It's due to their [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism differing ideologies]] as well as his own ambitions that he's quick to lose interest and has no problems kicking her around and even trying to kill her and her teammates.
** Melody's obsession with killing Clive after he spurns her advances definitely has shades of this.

** [[EvilGenius Melody Vilente]] is a member of the Prophets who plans to turn the world into living hell for the sake of [[VainSorceress vanity]]. A formerly plain woman, when Melody use her powers to turn into the perfect woman, she decided to work with the Prophets to keep her new form, even at the cost of the planet. Wanting to flaunt her new looks, Melody made a system in Little Twister where she seduce unsuspecting travelers to the Unclean Mark, where she would trick them into falling victim to the ruins' traps [[ForTheEvulz for indulgence]]. Turning Little Twister into a near-GhostTown, she attempt to do the same thing to the Drifters, becoming furious when it failed because of Clive. Resentful, Melody tries to retaliate by creating the golem Asgard and the airship ''Deus ex Machina'' to brutalize them and poison the group, particularly Clive, before using [[TakingYouWithMe her last moments]] to launch ''Deus ex Machina'' to spread nanomachines to turn Filgaia into a demon, all while taunting the party.

** [[spoiler:[[CreepyChild Beatrice]] is a [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Dream Demon]] who was [[TheManBehindTheMan responsible]] for driving Filgaia to the brink of destruction. [[ManipulativeBitch Manipulating]] and sabotaging the Yggdrasil project, Beatrice turned Filgaia into a deadly desert, using the dire condition and the desperation of people to survive to create the [[ReligionOfEvil Ark of Society]], a religion made to worship her as the "Dream Girl" and the bringer of utopia. Manipulating them to gather artifacts for her plans, Beatrice also manipulates Gallow's younger brother Shane to get the Drifters to eliminate the Prophets and Siegfried before launching her own ambitions to turn Filgaia into her twisted paradise. Brainwashing Shane and absorbing the life energy of the planet, bringing disaster all over the world, Beatrice ultimately attempts to absorb the existing Filgaia as the foundation of her new as Neo Filgaia, and trap the Drifters into an eternal nightmare for defying her and in defeat attempts to delete the existing Filgaia with her in a last act of petty revenge.]]

** Unlocking the Secret Garden requires completing a nearby dungeon. After defeating the boss, the party has to escape the dungeon while carrying a cursed artifact that locks their HP at 1. Even when doing the quest at the recommended level requires a bit of luck to escape alive, and it's a quest that's best done sooner rather than later to reap the rewards that last for the rest of the game.

** Equip Finest Arts on Clive (or Jet) and then reset his ARM so there's only two bullets in it. Let destruction ensue. Notable in that the Final Boss seems to be built on the ''assumption'' that you will do this, as they're a bitch to kill otherwise, and the BonusBoss fights absolutely ''require'' you to do this.

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Clive's daughter unknowingly breaking him out of his HeroicBSOD after he explains his new job will be to protect her and her mother, so she gives him "her most favoritest thing" as payment.
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: Numerous bits of the soundtrack. Consistent composition also makes the soundtrack as a whole qualify, even if a number of the songs are merely above average by their lonesome. The mere fact that this game has a ThemeSong with a ''Old West whistle version'' should tell you how amazing the music soundtrack is.

* MostWonderfulSound: The repeat firing of a character's ARM that signals a Critical Hit. Doubles as Most Wonderful Sight with the camerawork at the same time.
