i remember this game for the dreamcast...i never got to play it because i had just traded my dreamcast for a PS2....

[socrates150]

@SergeOfArniVillage ..... I can't believe you just compared this game to legend of zelda, let alone the wind waker.... Legend of zelda has no competition with arcadia what so ever...

[HarpoTheVillain]

@TheXbox360nintendo Overworks lives! They merged with Wow Entertainment ( formerly Sega AM1). They released a game that absolutely runs in the same vein as Skies a few years ago. It's called Valkyria Chronicles, and it's for the PS3. A very, very AMAZING JRPG/strategy game. Look it up! Actually, the three main characters of Skies of Arcadia make guest appearances as playable characters~

[electricmastro]

Doesn't anyone agree that this is like Wind Waker and Skyloft combined?

[masterplusmargarita]

Really wanna play this game, but I never owned a Dreamcast, and have JUST discovered it was on Gamecube.

[HarpoTheVillain]

@masterplusmargarita PLAY. THIS. GAME.

Now, this is just my humble opinion here. But to me, this is the only RPG that could ever compete with Chrono Trigger when it comes to truly heart-felt and wonderfully up-lifting adventure. It's one of the 5th best JRPGs of all time, and there's no comparison to any other on the list, really. You can tell the game was made by a woman, unlike the macho Final Fantasies and inbred Tales games.

It's worth the hassle.

I was listening to this, when my dad walked in and asked, "Why are you listening to Christmas music?"

[LeonZapphire]

@quagmath Lol

[sunyee]

An underrated town theme.. One of those that make you stay in a town, talk to every NPC twice, and press the action button on every nook and crook in everyone's house just to make sure you hear the song repeat a few times. Really like the transition at 1:11.

@SergeOfArniVillage

That was exactly what i was thinking during this part of the game. And you have a long ladder to climb in the pirate island, just like the ladder at the beginning of Wind Waker. Aika reminds me of Tetra, and Fina reminds me of Link's sister from WW.

i have that pic in my desktop =)

[Matrixcompy]

yay

[bambooclaw]

I love this game... this music makes me wanna play it again XD

[SlRDancealot]

I thought the same thing, the music in Wind Waker is IDENTICAL to this, awesome.

[lashoes2207]

e p i c game

[Rubberman202]

This was a cool game... because it was about pirates!

[fatty416]

... I want this game. So much.

[ninjagod1337]

So buy it. It costs like 5 bucks.

[NathanWubs]

No it does not. Its cost 50. As it is a very rare game.

[ninjagod1337]

If you're a moron who doesn't know how to use eBay, then sure.

[fatty416]

Well, I looked at ebay and I saw no five bucks. :P It useally cost around 20 used. around 35 new.

[CodeJaffer]

GCN version is 20 bucks on Amazon. That's where I got it.

[AlphaOrigin]

20 bucks at GameStop.

[fatty416]

lol Thanks. But I got it for 16 on their online store. It was the cheapest I saw.

[fatty416]

... And, it was surprisingly in preeetty damn good shape. It had not too many scratches and it played like brand new. So, it was fantastic. One of the greatest RPG's I've played and definitely now one of my favorite games. If anyone here has not played Rogue Galaxy, and LOVES this game. I highly recommend you pick up Rogues. It plays a lot like this one, And It's another Pirate story. Don't know why people are so obsessive over FF7 when you have RPGs like this.

[Codyray1992]

@fatty416 A lot like Rogue Galaxy you say? Well then, let's see... On the gamecube/dreamcast... I loved Rogue Galaxy (God Illusion Sword was so overpowered) and have heard a lot of good things about this game, being a gamer who loves old games, I'm gonna have to see if I can get this.

[gallantmon8]

Can someone post the music that plays when you are in the Dark Rift? Because I just LOVE that place.........................­...

[xxXManaxMizeryXxx]

This song makes me feel so...calm because every time in the game when you were at Pirate Isle and this song was playing everyone was so happy. Because this song reminded me of 'home' in the game it reminds me of my own home. Lol.

[yellowmelow25]

it kinda reminds me of the town song of Mario thousand year door rpg for the Gamecube

[Coldmilk51312]

Brings back the memories. Good times though.....when I had my dreamcast.

[Aviotes]

You're so right! Dreamcast was my favorite Console.. just because of the rpg's ^^

[Sephiko]

I'll find this game, someday...(not online)

[Coldmilk51312]

You made the right choice, I can't say my opinions are the same as they were when I firsted played this great game, but back then, it was only Skies of Arcadia, Sonic Adventures, and Pokemon to be honest.....and that's a good thing.

[Acroix707]

My citys name is Arcadia

[stick666thekiller]

Such an great RPG, such an great song...

[OmnipotentO]

this was such a great game :D

[CleverDjembe]

Nice, calming song. Immediately reminded me of Zelda: Wind Waker :)

[LinkTetraWW]

Me too! But I can't think of a specific track or area of the game that I'm reminded of, I guess it is just the over feel of the game...
