"skies of arcadia and other RPG's"

i am really interested in Skies of arcadia but i found out they are not in production anymore :( . Anybody know where to get it, im not too fond of ebay so do you guys no any stores where i could pick this up used.

Also i wanted to get tales of symphonia but i cant find that anywhere either. Where can i get that?

Cheers.

thanks for all the help. I seriously considering on buying tales very soon, but the only thing is its going for 20 dollars in america and over here its 30 quid. Also i cant find tales in stock in all my local stores or the internet. Are they going out of print as well?

I really wanna buy this game because its not turn based. Talk about old games but i absolutely loved PSO becuase of all the freedom you had to go and explore places and hand to hand combat, it made it feel more real. Well in a fantasy type of world.

So thats why im really interested in tales. Do you guys know of any other games that are not turn based but in the RPG section?

Lost Kingdoms 1 + 2, card based real time battles, but I wouldn't touch the first one at all.

If you want something that acts like an RPG but is real time action then Eternal Darkness is definetly one to get. It has magic, weapons undead and monsters, and this game is so much like an rpg (except no stats) that I loved it.

Heh, thats fine mate. Yeah both games are exceptional, and I remember when I first bought Skies on the DC. Jeez, me and my mate would ramble on what is better - Final Fantasy VII or Skies. I always get a sense of nostalgia when I play Skies, however when I played Tales, I dunno - I changed my mind!

Honestly everytime when I play Tales, I feel a gush of excitement spurt out of me... :p

yes skies does take a while to get going. i remember the first dungeon to be alright, but some of the later ones are absolutely quality. i think it was when i first got to valua that i realised how absolutely amazing it was. the characters started to open up in the desolate surroundings and such. i can't really put into words how great this game is. just play it.

I am really sad now that my original copy of skies of arcadia: legends has a bug in it that stops me getting any further than the ice area, as soon as I travel in a particular section of air above the ice the game freezes, this happens every time. Noooooo!!!!! *Sob...sniff, sniff...*

i have to say i am really starting to like this game, from the first battle i had with the black pirate i was really happy about the pirate theme of the game. The only thing that confused me was that i recieved an item where the metal armed guy said it upgrades the ship power or something. I dont know how to use it though, any help? Sorry im not that good at the charecter names yet.

I must say it took me a while to figure out how to get to sailors island through the passage as i was stuck for about 30 mins trying to figure it out. Mind you that got me levelled up pretty well so it was ok.

But yes im planning to pick up tales some time soon. Hopefully used so that i dont have to dish out some extra cash. Or i will get it from the usa.

You know a second copy is well worth it!

If i could find another copy somewhere that is brand new, i'd rather get a new one than a used one that will become freezy sooner like my first copy.

Are you sure its just not the disc? Give it a good ol' wipe, and then a CD cleaner on it. It might just do the trick, but if not then the game is pretty hard to find at a reasonable price.
