Skies of Arcadia Sega Dreamcast
COMPLETE Game
This Is My Favorite Rpg!
Imagine a world in which people live on islands, float through the air, and
use masterfully engineered sky-ships to travel from place to place. Follow
the adventures of the young hero Vyse as he journeys through uncharted
skies to discover new continents and explore mystical ruins. Accompanied
by Aika and Fina, he will wage battles against savage monsters, evil
pirates, and a powerful enemy nation. Skies of Arcadia delivers a brilliantly
animated cast of characters, monsters, and villains, along with astounding
3-D graphic environments and a wonderfully scripted story line.
This is an absolutely fantastic game that has been overlooked by a great
many people. Really, I have no complaints with this game. However,
before I get into what makes this game so great, Im going to list a few of
the drawbacks that may put off a potential buyer.
Given that this game was released back in 2000 for the Dreamcast, the
graphics will appear to be crude next to whats exhibited by the current-gen
consoles. However, as a Dreamcast game, the graphics for most of the
game are quite good. The background and ship graphics are gorgeous by
almost any standard, though the people arent very natural-looking.
The battle system, while having nothing wrong with it, is simple turn-based
combat. I didnt mind it at all, but I know it bothers some people. Also, at
times the enemy spawn-rates are so ridiculously high that you cant go
more than a few feet at a time.
No voice acting except the rare sound bite, and no CG movie cutscenes.
Those minor details aside, this game is near-perfect. The spirit meter and
changeable elements for your weapons require a small amount of extra
strategy without requiring a big learning curve. The Ship-to-Ship battles are
great and give the gameplay even more depth.
The music in this game is unmatched with any of the many games I have
played. Crisp, clear music that sounds right at home in a performance from
an eminent professional orchestra.
Best of all this game has to offer is the story and the characters. The
characters complement each other very well and seem almost real. The
story itself is told in a masterful way that puts many novels to shame; its
presented in a way that reinvigorates the players interest in the game at
every twist and turn.
The last thing to mention is the great sense of exploration that this game
offers. You can literally travel the entire world of Arcadia. Special
discoveries can be found during exploration that not only give money but
whos description provides glimpses into Arcadias mysterious history. As
the game progresses you explore in a way that slowly opens the world to
you; and after youve visited a location you can almost always go back
whenever you want, almost no matter what else is going on in the story.
Lastly, this game offers something that few other exploration-minded
games give: a home. At a certain point in the game, you get your own
home base you can return your ship, and it gets rather lively as you recruit
your various crew members.
In conclusion, give this game a try if you have a Dreamcast or a
Gamecube, I promise that you wont regret it.
