Wild Arms was one of my favorite RPG's on the PlayStation console. I was working a lot at a sheet metal shop during that period and lived out in the country so being snowed in was commonplace. I grabbed Wild Arms and, not having access to the Internet, I went ahead and got the strategy guide with it. I just wanted to enjoy the game during the expected snow storm my area we preparing for. It was an extremely fun 4 or 5 days. No distractions, just playing Wild Arms (and many other games I had at the time), barely touched the strategy guide but the investment was worth it as my intent was just to enjoy the game.
