Wind Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I'm about 40 minutes in, and just reached Pirate Isle. Already I can tell I am in love with this game. Sure, I may be a little late on this.. but yeah. Discuss!! Quote Link to comment

Akito Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I got about six hours into the game. It's not one of my higher priorities, so I doubt I'll be finishing it any time soon. Quote Link to comment
superaielman Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Skies of Arcadia's.. solid. It's main appeal's on the entire setting: from the music to the detailed world, it sucks you in. Characters are decent, with Galcian, Vyse, and Ramirez all being memorable. It's pretty dull gameplay wise, but hey, you can't have everything. Quote Link to comment
LinkOcarinaMan Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Skies of Arcadia is great. One of the most detailed and engrossing worlds in RPG history and a very likeable cast of characters from top to bottom. It doesn't have the deepest battle system around but I still really enjoyed it and I would pick it over something like Star Ocean any day of the week. What really impressed me were the dungeons. Some of the dungeons made me think that I was playing a Zelda game, yes, they were that good. Quote Link to comment
Wind Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 update: blew up that Black Pirate dudes ship, and got the passport thing for Valuan or whatever its called haha. sorry im mad tired. Quote Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 So I'm not a member of the RPG club, but whatever. I noticed this thread and I would like to make a wacky guest appearance and say that Skies of Arcadia is one of my favorite games, ever. The ship battles are really fun. A touch on the easy side, but if you keep yourself from using Complete Kits (or whatever those things are that heal your ship fully in one turn) they get challenging towards the end. I've got to start playing it again. I got right up to the end and my memory card was lost. Very sad, very sad. I've never actually beaten it. If I remember correctly I'm around Yafutoma right now, but I haven't played in a while. Quote Link to comment
Scarface Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 doesn't even matter, Wind isn't making me Mod so I can't have an exclusive club yet. but crazyfish....yer cool. Quote Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Why thank you. Quote Link to comment
Wind Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 wow, i'm about 6 hours into this now and I must say... The game is beyond excellent. I am finding so much old-school flair in the game. Quote Link to comment
Scarface Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 it has a great story, sometihing most of these newer games are missing because the developers are more interested in Leet grafix. Quote Link to comment
Kyoudai Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Skies of Arcadia is one of those games that you play til the end and love. Then you pick it back up later on and love it again. I loved it for Dreamcast, and then I loved it for Gamecube. The feel of exploration the game delievers is something that RPGs seem to be getting away from. Everything is too linear now. Skies doesn't always tell you exactly where to go next, you have to explore and find new places yourself. The characters all all likable, and the story they are involved in is compelling until the end. As already stated, the battle system isn't anything groundbreaking, but the airship battles are really fun. It's one of those games that I can not understand why it doesn't have a sequal or two.

Ceraziefish Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 It's one of those games that I can not understand why it doesn't have a sequal or two. I agree. Skies deserves a sequel so badly. I mean, with new technology they could make it more complex, make it even longer... Hell, they wouldn't even have to connect the story to the old game at all, that's how cool the universe they created is. Valua ftw. Quote Link to comment
Scarface Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 You ike non linear games? DQ7 was that and a bag of chips! ~.^ I guess the old school graphics were too much for most of you~ bwa hahahaha Quote Link to comment
Kyoudai Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 You ike non linear games? DQ7 was that and a bag of chips! ~.^ I guess the old school graphics were too much for most of you~ bwa hahahaha DQ7 was nonlinear, and also non fun. The graphics had nothing to do with it. The game's story wasn't going anywhere, it was boring me to tears, my characters were all dull and uninteresting, and it was so annoying having to progress the game by digging through people's houses looking for that last little chunck of rock to make my next island. Bleh, maybe after DQ8 is done I'll give DQ7 a third chance. Quote Link to comment
LinkOcarinaMan Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Dragon Quest VII makes me LOL Quote Link to comment
Wind Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 Going to the kings hut to try to get the green moon crystal now, around 9 somthing hours in, totally digging it even more ofcourse. Gonna shower now and then play more. Quote Link to comment
Akito Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Yeah, and DQ8 is more fun, has a better story, and more likable characters, all because the graphics are prettier and thus doesn't require you to use your imagination a little. Quote Link to comment
Scarface Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 We still are the only American rpg'ers that like DQ7.....ha! Quote Link to comment
Kyoudai Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 You guys don't like it. You just want us to think you like it so it makes you look special as if you like something no one else does. I know Akito for one hasn't beaten it. Quote Link to comment
LinkOcarinaMan Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Akito is a sad little poser. Quote Link to comment
Akito Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I know Akito for one hasn't beaten it. I haven't even beaten half the video games I've started. Doesn't mean I don't like them. I just bet that if DQ8 was the exact same game, except with DQ7-style graphics, you guys wouldn't like it. Quote Link to comment
Kyoudai Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 That hurts Akito. You know I'm not a graphics whore. I love DQ7's oldschool looks, and the one thing I did love about it was the 2D animation the monsters had. I've already stated my reasons for not liking it. Quote Link to comment
Wind Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 At the part where you must battle the green gigas in an airbattle. Lost the first time, hoping to take a second stab at it tommorow. Quote Link to comment
