This thread has been linked to the game 'Skies of Arcadia'.
I have seen it on Amazon for about £30 and I donjt really follow games but was there like any hype on this? I very much enjoyed Skies Of Arcadia for the dreamcast some say it is better than FF10 and now that it has switched consoles is it any good?
Certainly an improvement in graphics will be expected and less choppy-ness should be there but like most games coming up today how long will it be?
Only the best of Rpg games are now long and the most are short to complete with bad replay value even the ones with replay value are not that worth going through again also does it lead on from Skies Of Arcadia or is it a completely seperate story? I am guessing Roy from super smash bros melee is the main character as he was from future rekease and fits the bill but who knows?
So what im really asking is do you think this game will bea the original?
Is it worth £30?

Hmph! I should've chosen it over Windwaker.

The tunes themselves are great, but the quality that they're presented in is bad. I listened to some Dreamcast versions of the tunes, and the difference is very noticeable. Roll on Skies 2 with Pro Logic.

It wouldn't have sounded even better with DECENT BLOODY MUSIC ON THE DISC.

Ooooh. Well my bolted on flux capacitor gave me 784,394 FPS more than you! And rather than use some sort of gay wireless controller I use mindpower. So ner ner. I win.
Pills please.

They compressed the audio so they could fit it on one disc. They even went mono for some of the soundtrack. Didn't really effect it as even though the game didn't run in Pro Logic 2 my Dolby processor simulated its own Pro Logic track which helped to compensate for a weaker audio track in the first place.
The sound is an injustice to the game, which despite random battles (KOTOR-stylee is the way forwards) is damn good.
And Vyse going 'woo! let's be brave and good the whole FU****G time! We'll forgive/help/love/worship you whatever, 'cos that's what friends do!'

What's worse is that the midi sounds out of tune in some parts.
How the hell can that happen?

Past a certain point random battles are unnavoidable but after that you can choose to fight them to level up.
I found that on my 3rd try the quickest time this game can be completed is about 50-60 hours which is the longest rpg i've ever had myself, ad the story never ends throughout, it's like a trilogy or quadrilogy of films in one game.

Its great besides the bloody annoying random battles..
Skies is the best.
