I love this game so much its been my favourite ever since I first started playing it. 1:10 always gives me those goosebumps. Such a beautiful innovation, will never be forgotten.
This game is what first got me into video games. Now my sister thinks I'm weird because I play video games all the time. I'm a girl. AND I LOVE THIS GAME.
I really want this game! Prolly will get it soon and ultimately both versions. I like that the GC version has added sidequests and backstory but I still want the original Dreamcast version also.
Why would they cancel the PS2 version when that system had by far the largest userbase and thus could have yielded far more sales for this game?
Hey everybody! I have released my new album 'Progenitor' which has electronic music inspired by great games such as Skies Of Arcadia. You can check it out and download it for free on my youtube channel if you're interested!
I have this game for the Gamecube and beat it not too long ago. Such a great game! It's awesome that Vyse , Aika, and Fina are all in Valkyria Chronicles.
I had a TOTAL BLAST playing this game when I had my DC. I rented it, played non-stop as the gameplay was so GOOD and finished it in 5 days.
I felt sad for going after the giant whale, promoted Vyse to the max, found only 48 treasures, after getting the upgraded ship, going under or above ground limits the random battles, didn't upgrade the princess' helper to its fullest, only at this rpg that I found out that focus firing one enemy does help A LOT.
I remember playing this game like 10 years ago, but I never beat it. I got stuck on this one part where you're pitting your ship against another one. I bet if I played it now, I could actually beat it.
Yeah I really can't justify playing the GameCube version for the extra content, over the Dreamcast original due to the butchering of the majestic soundtrack.
the best RPG game ever-made it is easy to get sucked into the story,Perfect characters, and enemies,pretty much everything is just RIGHT..... 1000/100
UBER-WIN
( you would be a complete weenie or a noob if you hate this game.)
Honestly... I can't blame him... You have no idea what you are asking of him... This is the Chrono Trigger / Lunar Silver Star Story of the Dreamcast...
I still have my NGC version and I can tell you for certain that unless I find another working Dreamcast and am lucky enough to come across someone who would be willing to part with a mint/near-mint copy of the game, I'll be waiting around for a DLC variant of it as well...
The NGC version while more complete, has worse sound...
Also it should be added that while a few of the additions of the NGC version are really quite nice & fun to play around with... (Considering anyone outside of Japan couldn't otherwise have gotten them any other way)
A lot also only seem to just be useless & ignorable at best (With a few glaring exceptions that actually force you to take a detour from the main game & deal with them)
And if you do delve into them you will be grossly overpowered come time for the final boss... @_@
I feel sad knowing so many gamers missed out on Skies. It's such a satisfying experience from start to finish; a real journey of discovery. Best game ever.
"The age of exploration has dawned upon the world of Arcadia. Brave adventurers set sail across the vast skies in search of treasures untold. And, where there is treasure, there will be Air Pirates..."
the old epic tile sequence, ahh that takes me back to the very first time i played it (was the demo version but it excited me enough to buy the full game)
I myself aquait it to a "primitive" (loose term) Wind Waker. It has basically the same stigma, though I feel far more adult. I would've loved to see this kind of stuff when I was growing up. Alas, it has been years since the N64. Still, we can relish that the Dreamcast lives on in many ways.
I was just thinking that SoA would make an amazing MMORPG! Imagine creating your own pirate choosing a side and flying around on your very own ship.... Ohhh what it is to dream!
@Fedorov567 keep dreaming, i would never want this classic single player RPG to ever go MMO, i mean honestly that would defeat the purpose of the games sense of adventure and wonder-lust since you aren't the only person exploring the world. Meh i am just ranting because i played WoW.
@DanishSprode i answer to you 2 years later xD i know i am late damn! but yes sir your right :3 this game on its dreamcast version ^^ was awesomely awesome yes yes haha
Ah, the original... many haven´t noticed that the sound got more... how should I say it... trapped. The special attack sounds are much sharper on this version. I should know... got the original myself, although my cable has broken to the DC... got to fix that before playing this wonderful game again. It´s always as fantastic everytime you turn it on. Could you by any chance show some fighting-sequences as well?
Kewl... works for me. ^_^ I can wait... there´s no rush actually, but if you can then I´ll be glad for it. There´s a ton of gaming from the GC and I have a feeling they´re forgetting it´s a copy they are playing and not the original. Someone must show them the source so to speak...=) Good luck making that then... take your time..:P
