- My favourite RPG game EVER!!...serious!
what can i say? This is my favourite game of all time!! i have it on both DC and Gamecube.
I originally bought this game on the dreamcast and was IMMEDIATELY sucked in! The beginning is so exciting! Your controller will become un-put-down-able!! The storyline and characters are gorgeous and there's just so much excitement and adventure in the game (well you are an over-ambitious pirate, what can stop you?)! And it gets better! The Soundtrack is amazing! I really couldn't sum this game up in a review but i'll try.
Basically you're a young nobody who wished to explore the world with your fiery best friend, Aika, and a strange turn of events lead you to break into an impossibly dangerous city and rescue someone! Then eventually you go on the explore the world because of *spoiler*. This game is just so exciting with all the 'impossible' and breathtaking quests you must persist, as well as all of the exciting battles and best of all FLYING PIRATE-SHIP BATTLES!
The Gamecube port 'Skies of arcadia legends' is the same, though random battles are less frequent (which is good!) and theres an added side-story-line and more rogues to defeat.
This game is well loved throughout the world, so much so that i even run a fanclub for it! i think the moral of the game is probably that 'nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it' and the whole game is really like that! it's like, holy-moly, this is an impossible quest, how will they ever get out of this one, but you try, and they do make it and its like whoooo adrenaline rush!
Seriously though, a must have for any rpg fan, i would seriously buy a gamecube JUST for this game (in fact i did)! the only bad thing about this game is that it has an end! ;_;
Rating: - the best game I have played!
The game is very long! The graphics are cool! The ship battles are one of the things that set apart the game from just an other RPG(you have tow fiting ships in the game which is nice).Their is one problem in the game that gets on your nurves that their is so many random incounters!!!!!!!!!!but they can give you moonberries (which can give you new moves).The game can be a bit frustrating in places but the game is so good that you over look most of the problems(their isn't that many to over look ).The moves in the game look so cool as well. I could go on about this game for a long time so I am going to stop.

- Classic RPG at its best
This is a classic RPG no fuss, no mess.
The story and general feel of the game is well rounded and complete, the game its self is huuuuuge. over 50 hours if you try and find every little secret, crew member and discovery.
The story goes is - you mainly play Vyse a cocky air pirate who inspires to be everything his dad is and his band of pirates stand for. i.e Robin Hood - rob rich -give to the poor etc.
On the way you pick up a gang much like any RPG, you explore, you fight - you rank and build up your characters as ususal.
Though its the way you do it that makes it fun - Isnt that what you look for in a game?.
The control system is very easy to understand and navigate, the game goes from hours walking about in a set dungeon to flying about in your ship.
This brings the only problem in the game - There is no set battles so they can happen ANY time - no warning, nothing.
Where this brings quite a non set formula, it does also means you CAN go about 3 secs (and this has happened to me several times)and get involved in a battle and then straight after finishing that fight 3 secs later. etc etc. Though this is irratating it's the only thing that makes this a 4 star game not 5.
But generally 25 hrs in (the first time)and I'll be honest not even scratched the surface .. you realise suddenly how good and long this game could be ...
Rating: - Flying High
Skies of Arcadia Legends may be a port of a fairly old Dreamcast game but it still remains one of the most original and Brilliant RPG's available.
You play a young blue rogue(Pirate) named Vyse who steals from the rich and er... well keeps the money, but who is mostly a ridiculously honest and just guy. Most Of The characters in this game are likeable and the story is good if not slightly predictable. The normal battling in this game does little to reinvent the RPG genre, but the battles in which you fight ship to ship are pretty awesome. But perhaps the best aspect of the game is the way in which it creates a believable world in which you can explore to great extent. For example Final fantasy 7 is a brilliant game but the exploration of the world map seems a bit dull and repetetive sometimes. Whereas in Skies, you can explore the world in a way you usually do in adventure games like Zelda.
Graphics: 7/10 While the graphics in this game are technically poor, the style of them is quite likeable and creates a cool cartoony effect.
Sound: 9.5/10 While the voiceovers are pretty poor, once the music grows on you it is nothing short of breathtaking.
Gameplay: 9.5/10 A good solid battle system and a great game out of battle make Skies Of Arcadia's Gameplay way ahead of most RPG's out there.
Lifespan: 9/10 It'll take you a good 50 hours to complete the main quest and there's many side quests to keep you playing after that.
Good: Cool battles, great music, brilliant story and an altogether involving experiance.
Bad: Not much new for an RPG, slightly predictable, technically inferior to alot of games out today.
Overall 9.5/10 Skies Of Arcadia Legends is one of the amazing RPG's ever made and while it may not be as highly recomended as Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger it is a deeply rewarding experiance and a game any proper RPG fan should own.
Rating: - Fantastic
Being a lifelong fan of Final Fantasy, I am always very dubious of other RPGs. Or, rather I was. A couple of my friends wouldn't shut up about this game, so I decided to buy it just to see what it was like. The first time I played it, I couldn't help loving the graphics, even if they aren't technically that good. They give the game a youthful, exciting feel, which is what the Blue Rogues are all about! The Blue rogues are a bunch of air pirates (flying ships...unbelievably cool) who steal from the rich etc.
By the end of the next day, I was hooked, and the day after that I was in love with this game. I believe that it may be the best game ever created, really. And Gilder's really cool. Sorry about that, but he is! By the time I neared the end, i then realised all the multitudes of side quests that are available, and that kept me going a bit longer! There is a ranking system, that goes from Vyse (that's you) the Cowardly, through Vyse the Daring, and finally Vyse King of Rogues. And there are specialist ones, like Vyse the Charasmatic for getting a complete crew on your ship, the Delphinius (which I want an engineer somewhere in the world to make...PLEASE!!!) or Vyse the Fisher King for catching 1000 fish. It seems strange, but this simple system draws you in so much, that I restarted the game to try and get to the uber-cool Vyse the Legend. (this is pointlessly hard to get).
If you play this game, you will love it. Just don't use magic too much, or it will annoy you a little.
Come on...Dance for me!
