DC Live! Thousand Arms, part 10
It’s time to get back to business. We’re close to the end of the game, and we still have a LOT of skills to learn.

Thousand Arms is an RPG in which your hero is a young blacksmith of destiny tasked with saving the world by killing the emperor. Videogames.com called it “One of the most unique and promising RPG[s] this year [1999],” which was the only praise that made it onto the packaging. I’m assuming Videogames.com was not up on Final Fantasy VIII. Or Star Ocean: The Second Story. Or Suikoden II. Or Jade Cocoon. That being said, I suppose of all these RPGs there aren’t really any two that belong together.
