Skies of Arcadia (SoA) is one of those rare, unnoticed RPG hits that a good deal of gamers will miss out on, due to its extremely limited quantities and the lack of gamers that actually own a Dreamcast. If possible, I recommend picking up a used...
Pros: Awesome Graphics, Deep Story, Very Long... Cons: Bright Lights May Induce Seisures!!!!
Oh Overworks, you thought you were so sneaky, but I caught you. You just ripped off one of my favorite childhood characters, Pippi Longstockings!!! I HATE YOU OVERWORKS!!!! Well that's a little dramatic, I'm not mad, in fact I think it's really funny. I...
Pros: Addictive, imaginative and huge RPG; challenging but not frustrating Cons: Too many random encounters; a tad on the juvenile side
Way on back in the days when eight-bit computers ruled the scene, I was frustrated by many a text role playing game. While I enjoyed the heck out of a lot of them and even solved a few, I was always annoyed that there were no graphics to depict what was ...
Pros: Graphics, Story, Ship battles Cons: Random encounters occur a little to often
For many years I have been a big fan of RPG's. Last September when I got my Dreamcast, I started looking at RPG's for it. Someone had told me about Skies of Arcadia and since it was an RPG and supposed to be good, I knew I would get it. Well, a few...
Well looky here, I found me a copy of the game that some people have ranked as the best RPG of all time, Skies of Arcadia. After looking around the GameFAQS website, asking around and stuff, after getting some Easter money from my Grandma,...
Pros: Brilliant visuals. Cons: Too many random encounters!
"In my last Dreamcast review, I reviewed the mega-good RPG Grandia II . In a follow up, I would like to encourage those to not only try and love Grandia, but also Skies of Arcadia."
Pros: GRAPHICS! STORY! GAMEPLAY! SCOPE! DEAR LORD Cons: Absolutely nothing.
Having been in development for over two years, Skies of Arcadia(formerly known as Eternal Arcadia) has been anticipated and drooled over by many. Yet, in the shadow of more popular and highly marketed greats like Grandia 2 and Phantasy...
Pros: Graphics, gameplay, sound, battles, ship & boss battles Cons: Frequency of battles, navigating towns & temples, few save points
I could go pretty deep into the politics of the Dreamcast. Why it is failing in the market place is a mystery to me. Excellent games, good hardware design, internet gaming and access, and so on... but why are the masses leaving it for dead? It is the...
Pros: everything Cons: there's something bad about this game?
First there was Evolution: The world of Sacred Device, then Elemental Gimmick Gear, then Time Stalkers, then Silver, and then finally Evolution 2: Far off Promise, the sequel to the original. These were the titles leading the Dreamcast’s RPG genre, these...
Pros: Air combat, stunning graphics, excellent soundtrack, good , non-linear story, Pinta Quest. Cons: Character models, game can cause seizures, change of title, being known as a ninny.
I can't get over the fact how much this game rocks. Sega has always broke expectations with impressive games, but this is by far one of the best. Not only is Skies of Arcadia an amazing that just about anyone can enjoy, RPG junkies...
Pros: Probably the best looking 3D RPG until FFX Cons: battles get boring, plot is a little too cliche
Skies of Arcadia is perhaps, the most groundbreaking traditional RPG since Xenogears. Every ounce of this new Overworks effort spews inspiration and an attention to detail rivalled only by the infinite budget of Squaresoft. Despite how utterly...
Pros: The graphics are great, the music is fantastic, and the battle system is extraorinary. Cons: TOO MANY FREAKIN' BATTLES!
This has to be my favorite RPG of all time (along with Final Fantasy 10, Final Fantasy 3, Chrono Trigger, and Grandia 2). I love the battle system, the enchantingly brilliant music, the gorgeous and amazing graphics, and the spectacular and cunning...
Pros: Beautiful graphics, interesting story, near-flawless execution Cons: too many random battles
Skies of Arcadia is one of the first next-generation console RPGs. However, outside of a graphical upgrade, Skies conforms to many traditional RPG conventions. But while this game doesn’t really offer any new innovations, its execution of...
Pros: Terrific visuals back up a solid story. Cons: Back off! Alpha Stoormm! Ugh.
Skies of Arcadia takes place in the era of “Discovery.” There are many mysterious places in the world that are waiting to be charted. The world is full of Air Pirates, people that go around looking for a treasure (and often stealing, as well) and killing...
