 Rating:  - Still My Favorite RPG of All TimeSkies of Arcadia is a game with a real sense of exploration. The game shuns most cliches of plot and character development by including memorable characters you actually care about rather than cartoon cliches. The gameplay and combat is simple and but addictive and memorable. The game continually expands, dishing up new types of gameplay and unique areas to explore in your airship. Ship combat and the crew system further enhances the variety. Keep in mind that this GameCube remake ...

The first day I played it, I spent 6 hours playing and not knowing where the time went. After I beat the game, I, of course, moved on with my life playing games, going to school, etc.. Still, I haven't found a game more satisfying to play than this game. But enough reminiscing, let me tell you why I love this game. First off, the story.

Isn't that why RPG enthusiasts get such a kick out of this genre. It's the disparate, loner characters, banding together and forming a family, and along the way (if the game ...

I can't answer that question for other people as everyone has their own taste and their own reasons, but i can tell you the reason why i play rpg's is because i like to feel like i am in a world of fantasy and adventure, a world where anything is possible and where the sound of the wind resonating quitely against the breeze preordains a future of uncertain destiny. This game brings the gamer a feeling of adventure the whole way through and throws you right into the story. You ... Read More Rating: - On Par With the GreatsThis was one of those games I found on the shelves of the rental store and thought 'heck, why not?' And not once did I regret my decision. Though Skies of Arcadia has its fair share of 'gaming cliches' (the mysterious girl who gets things rolling; every female is incurably attracted to the main character... that sort of thing) the story is compelling. Vyse and his cohorts are Blue Rouges, a faction of the 'Air Pirates' distinction who are easily likened to the Robin Hoods of the world. Their favourite ... Read More |
