The World
The beauty of WILD ARMS® Alter code: F™ graphics is clear to see and is among the best of the WILD ARMS® series – blowing wind in the wilderness, sparkling waters, sunlight trickling into towns, and bubbling lava filled ruins. The attention to detail and expression of space are the best in the series.

The size of the characters on-screen has also reduced from previous titles. This results in better viewing and playability, with a smoother feel. A camera zoom feature is also featured and allows players to see the detailed actions of the characters.
