Woot! I was cruising through my normal stops, when I see, BAM! Rpgamer has some book scans.
Rpgamer Scans
The scans show some nice screens, mostly out of battle, but they are encouraging. It appears they have moved away from the Hex Battle System, but have moved back to a previous system at first glance(but you notice the turn order at the top of the screen now too.) It appears they are trying to find, or found, a good mix between the newer things in Wild Arms 4, while adding in the old charm.
One nice sign is the character models. It appears we could have some nice emotions.
Sidenote: It appears the main character is using a sword...but there is a guy using an ARM, or gun for those of you who don't know.
Full Version: Wild ARMs 5
Excelent find Rudy.
The main characters name seems to be Dean Stark.
The white haired girl is named Avril Van Frule. (Or something similar)
The red haired girl's is named Rebecka Streisand.
The artwork for this game looks great. I'm very much looking forward to this one.
Avril's age seems unclear, it says thats he appears to be 20-something.
And where did you see Dean using a sword? I see him holding a shovel. lol
And there's still some sort of HEX system, shown in the last scan.
The battle system and everything looks great. I especially like Avril's character design.
She's probably going to be my favorite character.

so Dean, Avril, and Beckie, eh? for the characters... only three this time around like the original? could prove interesting...
my theroy- Dean is Jack, a swordsman. Becky is Rudy, an ARMs bearer- she looks the part. Avril, is Cecelia, a summoner/crest mage... for some reason, looking at Rebecka, she might be a cross be Virginia and Calamity Jane...
looks good, hopefully the character and story is better than WA4... hopefully better than WA3... but let's not shoot for the moon.

Rebecka is showing a lot of skin. 
Sigs Minock, one of the scan show the status screen and I believe there's room for another two or three characters, so perhap the other characters, if they are any other characters, are optional or just have not been revealed yet.
Though, I'm pretty sure, Becky, Dean and Avril will be the three main characters of this Wild Arms game.
Minock, Becky?
Anyway, nice find, Rudy06. I like the appearance of the new Wild Arms quite a bit myself. The characters look excellent up to this point. I hope this game is as good as the previous Wild Arms game.
Rudy06, I only see Dean holding a shovel like Athrun. Maybe Dean will use a shovel as his main weapon?

OH! Heheh....I guess it is a shovel...
...But anywho..something I noticed but forgot to mention was a fully rotatable camera. So, above, below, to the side...Looks neat...hopefully that is what it is. It appears so by how close the camera is to the main character in the Temple(?) shots.

RpgFan says:
I double posted with NEW info...okay maybe not really new...But it gives us a partial story. Golem Hunters, eh? On the scans the ages are 16(Dean), 16 (Rebecca), and 20?(Avril), which Athrun mentioned. Which would make sense since(ooh...) since she has amnesia.

Sony Computer Entertainment and developer Media Vision today the first batch of details regarding WildARMS: The Fifth Vanguard. The series' tenth anniversary title and supposedly last appearance on PlayStation 2, will put players in control of protagonist Dean Stark. The bright young man has a strong sense of justice and aims to become a golem hunter. Upon meeting the game's female lead, Avril van Fleur, this dream might as welll come true. Wrapped in a golem's left arm, the siver-haired Avril has fallen out of the sky. She has lost her memory and only remembers the name Johnny Appleseed and a past connection to Dean and hence keeps following him. Rebecca Streisand is a childhood friend of Dean's. She is more rational than Dean, but also does not hide her care for others. What she however does hide, are her very strong feelings for Dean whom she loves.
WildARMS: The Fifth Vanguard will be available in Japan sometime this winter.

*sigh* childhood crush and amnesia... two story elements that have been done to death... oh, well... as long as it's better than 4th Detonator, i'm happy.
winter release in Japan, hopefully means Summer '07 release stateside.

Wild Arms 4 storyline sucked, but I didn't hate the idea of the HEX system myself. Though, gaining treasure after battle has to be fixed. It pissed me off how treasure was obtain in Wild Arms 4. Black Market reduce your level was another awful idea. I hope they fix those problems in Wild Arms 5.
Three characters? Blurg, I hope there's more playable characters. I still miss the old ARM system from the first game. Don't mind increase an standard attack ARM, but would like to see multi-ARM return instead of them being skills for one ARM.
The storyline better not suck. Let's have the villians have more of purpose and not go off to die for no real reason like they did in Wild ARMs 4.
Oh, rotating camera. The camera angle in 4 have been pissing me off. Glad to see a rotating camera will be in place.
Oh yes, I hope you can move around the dungeon with different characters as the led. I missed have tools that belong to you through the entire game. Though, Wild ARMs 4 system was not awful, I want it to be tweaked a bit.

Not a direct link, but they have some small...I mean...really small screens of Wild Arms 5. One interesting fact is the wheel in the upper right hand corner. (Reminds me of Atelier Iris). It appears to have a square and an X on it so...Also, the sliding, pushing, and grappling(or hanpan...to small to tell) are back.

Ahwwww...Too bad they gave Dean a shovel, they should give him atleast a STAFF! it's very new to have a guy as the main healer, espacially when it's the main character. As you play normal through the I mean, not l;ike in Golden Sun that you can set Djinni's and make other the main healers or in Final Fantasy X that almost everyone is the same>.>
o yeah on one of the menu screens you see that Afrill is level 18 with 00:04:18 playtime, I wonder what the max level is o.o Also I'd like to see the running boost back from the first 3 WA's that was so awesome!
EDIT:
Too bad michiko doesn't sing the theme song *cries*
and sounds like probably pretty much western but not too i think. heh, looks nice though!

There is a nice little link to screenshots. Click on each one to flip through more.
One good find...The main character has ARMs...they appear to act more as a tool though. However, this could be the first Wild Arms to have a shooting mini-game possibility. =D

I hope they didn't remove ARMs from battle. That would be quite annoying if they did that. From the videos, the game seem to play just like Wild ARMs 4, not that mind, but I always flipping through characters I control on the map. Disappointing they removed that feature. The ARM usage on the field seem to be adding more of adventure element to the game and slowly weeding out the use of tools like in the first three games.
So far, it looks interesting, but I'm going to speculate that this might not be that different from Wild ARMs 4. I just hope we're presented with a strong storyline in this game. So far, all these screen-shots and videos put to it being an improved Wild ARMs 4 game.

Looks pretty nice, only the character does things a bit weird o.o I dunno what it is, but oh well. Atleast it has more options and using tools and stuff then Wild Arms 4 >_>
Bah... I totally havn't kept up with Wild Arms 5... I guess it's because I didn't think it would come to PAL areas because neither the remake of the first game has or the forth game. Luckily the Forth is coming to PAL so I thought I'd check out the fifth again.
I havn't seen anything really about the Forth game... just out of intrest is it good? I hear a lot of people comparing it to the new game but not in a positive manner.
The main character uses a shovel? Ooook... I didn't see THAT coming.

Yes, it's true that many people complain about the game, it's short compared to the other ones. Also you can't walk on map anymore it's more like a platform game. But I think they did that to make the next one better.
NEWLY ANNOUNCED! (Put it here because it only has a name.)

You could have made a topic, but it likely would have got 2 to 5 posts at most. xD
Yeah, can't say I'm too hyped up about the news since I have no plans on owning a PSP in the near future. I'll wait to hear about impression of the game before I know if it's worth the effort to go out of my way to get. Though, still a good to see the WA series expanding further.
Not very interested in the portable games myself.
But here are some screenshots from the Fifth Vanguard.
Greg Raserbuck is the name of the character to the far right of the group. (Or something similar)
The girl to the left reminds me of KOS-MOS, and the person to the left of Greg looks familiar as well, but I can't place him/her.

Same here.
Are these the villians or playable characters that can join your team?
Didn't say anything about them so far except that they are new and unrevealed characters that may change in design as the development moves forward.
Regardless whether they are recruitable characters or villains, I'm not particularly fond of how they look. x_x;; Although quite the opposite when it comes to main characters because I think they look cool especially the female characters. =)

i agree... the two on the right look like they might fit in, the other two look like they dropped out of some B-Movie space flik. odds are they might be a rival gang of <Golem Hunters>, sorta like Maya and her gang from WA3.
Well, it possibly looks like the far right character may be playable.
Wild Arms Japanese Event
It shows him in a screen, similar to the ones that the main characters are pictured in. Who knows. I translated it with BabelFish, but it was very sketchy. But, the Hex gauge, if you did not know, is back but will be much different. From what I read, placement and position were important and it requires strategy, but not as much. However, they are doing other things as well.
Also, a view of the stats shows all the stats like this
####/####
So I am either assuming the second number is the max number possible or that a character's stats, individually, can be altered due to different factors.

Or, he might just be a guest character like Yulie's brother was in Wild ARMs 4. I would prefer if you had more characters to choose from like Wild ARMs 2 and form your own party instead of being given the 3 or 4 characters at the start and playing them through the entire game.
Isn't there another character in that picture to left? I believe that's another character's arm.

New screenshots of what might be the world map. I'm not sure if they are going to use the same world map idea as 4, or if they are going back though. Maybe a mix? But it shows the lead character in a odd looking vehicle, which on what might be the world map...so...However, they are at least very open.
Wild Arms 5: Movies
They also have a new movie up, about moving around the Overworld. You get to see him ride his little Motorcycle(Unicycle) too. Looks like a world map, to a degree.

Intro/Gameplay Video
You can see some of what appears to be the introduction as well as gameplay. And the Cowboy Hat man is playable. The combo attacks are back as well...and look better. Plus...It seems your character will get more than just a shovel. The combo attack, and his single attack both seem to be done with a sword.
Oh...Japanese Release Date: DECEMBER

Gah I managed to only watch the part until that robotic hand showed the girl and it stopped. Bruh. >.<;; The graphics look great and I really like the music, how I wish I saw the gameplay part.
So I guess the specific date is still up in the air whether it'll be in the later or earlier part of December. Hmm... I hope XSeed will do the same if the same situation happens with WA5 like in WA4. ;-;

Wow, the gameplay is looking very good. Fast paced and flashy.
You said that combo attacks are back. When were they used before? I only played WA 1 and 3.
I'm really looking forward to this game now. The gameplay, the music and everything is looking good so far.
And apparently Sigfried is in the game.
Let's hope he doesn't get his ass kicked by a girl who can generate miniguns under her skirt this time.

Oh, that's too bad. I figured it might have been something like that, but it also displayes his voice actor, just like for the other new characets, so I thought it might be from WA 5.
Battle system looked improved from WA 4. Along with graphic and animation. Movement along the map seem more free than WA 4. Like Rudy, combo attack look a lot better in WA 5 than WA 4. The music, like usual, good for WA game.
From what I saw from the 4th character, he look impressive. He's using a shotgun or using a machine gun? I'm going to assume they're going with a four party seem again. I wonder if they'll be optional characters this time around. Only WA 2 allowed optional characters, even though AC:F had optional characters, it just seem they throw them in there after their part in storyline ended.

Wild Arms 5 Official Site
Characters: The Main Hero...Either his ARM has big magazines, platforms to aim, or odd looking swords poking out the bottom. I'm leaning toward the first. But, the swords would be cool. =D
The Other Dude...(I don't remember any of their names) His ARM, I believe, is a shotgun. But from his character portrait...it is odd...that's all I can say.
The Second Enemy( I am assuming they are the bad-guys) looks rather awesome. The girl looks kind of Xenoish.
The individual movies, for me, won't load.

Looks like some sort of gunblade.
Here are the badguys. I tried to translate their names, but I couldn't get any info, because their profiles turn up as jiberish on my screen.
Volsung (sp?)
He looks like some sort of prince. Can't see his profile, so I don't know.
Belsefone (sp?)
I think she looks pretty cool. She reminds me of KOS-MOS a bit.
Falidon (sp?)
Karteikeya (sp?)
The weirdo of the team.
The old man's name is in Kanji, so I can't read it.
Weird names for this team, I can't make out the romanji for these characters. But it's something like that.

So far, they look impressive, like the villians from WA4, but I wonder if they'll cover their background and at least give them a decent purpose as to why they want to stop the main character's team, which wasn't present in WA4.
i'm with Eva. if they prove better plot devices than the "villians" of WA4, then i might like them despite thier futuristic appearances.
Hope the badguys don't suck, their appearance look better then WA4 o.o w00t black badguy *dies* havn't seen it in some time.
That Belsefone sure looks like KOS-MOS o.o only in an evil way...

Sony Computer Entertainment today announced some new details regarding its upcoming PlayStation 2 RPG WildARMS The Vth Vanguard. The series' newest installment will feature mysterious machines known as "Mediums". These Mediums are embodiments of forces residing in the world of Filgaia. Mediums not only affect a character's growth, but also allow for the summoning of powerful creatures known as Guardians. The following six Guardians have been revealed by Famitsuu today:
Equites is a Guardian taking the form of a awe-inspiring and beautiful maiden.
Dinoginos is a giant equipped with two massive shields.
Solas Ems appears out of a rainbow together with many magic squares.
Lucadia appears riding on a huge fish-like creature.
Chapapanga is a centaur whose upper half looks like a thief.
Ceresdu has wings like a butterfly.
WildARMS The Vth Vanguard will be available in Japan on December 14th for 6,800 yen ($57.16 US).

Of Course many of these names haven't been seen since Wild Arms 1. =D So Mediums are giant robots, possibly the golems, and they are used to summon the Guardians. So...hm...
Equites- I believe was the Light Guardian or something...hehe.
Dinoginos- The Summit Rune...I think.
Solas Ems- Heaven Rune
Lucadia- Sea Rune...or whatever..
Chapapanga- Luck...
Ceresdu-New one.
Except for Ceresdu, the other five are guardians from wild ARMs 1 and 2:
Equites: the Sword Rune in WA1, have an appereance in WA:ACF becoming the Sword Swipe medium.
Dinoginos: Or Denogenos, is the Summit Rune in WA1.
Solas Ems: Or Solas Emsu, the Heavens Rune in WA1.
Lucadia: the Triton Rune.
Chapapanga: debuts in WA2, reappears in WA3 for the last time , as the Luck Guardian.
Ceresdu: She appears in WA3, as Celesdue in the Moon Spark Medium, her attack "Merciless Queen" is a Gravity-based one. She looks like a woman in a black dress.
If they are going back to the old days in some way, i hope that Fengalon, Schturdark, Grudiev and Moor Gault returns in the original forms or at least that they look like what they are. I guess that the Guardians Lords: Zephyr, Justine, Raftina and Lucied will make a return. I really wants to see that... if happens, of course.

Impressive looking cast. The first time you had more than 3 or 4 characters in your party since Wild ARMs 2, so let's hope it's going to be as entertaining as Wild ARMs 2. 6 characters for the party should do it for the game. There's no more space on the website for more characters. xD
Uh oh. I hope that doesn't mean we'll get to see this little girl humiliating the main villain with her rockets, like a certain girl did with a certain villain in WA3.
Anyway, name translations.
Jack Preston and Carol Anderson.
And they still haven't showed the "Characters 3" section.

Maya beating Sigfried wasn't as bad as Tim beating Judecca in WA2. :mad:
i can understand Kanon in a crippled state defeating Judecca, but weak li'l tim- wtf?!?
I wonder if we'll get a good final boss. Out of all the games I've played in the series, the final boss has just been so lame or pointless. Who could forget the final boss of Wild ARMs 2? Or better yet, the final boss of Wild ARMs 3? I sure hope they make the final boss in the game good.
Lol, Tim. Got to love Tim being able to take down Judecca. It made a lot of sense he could easily defeat him with his "weapon".
