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?

It's fantastic, it always will be...

...BUT WHAT DID THEY DO TO THE MUSIC!!

The music on the Dreamcast was SO good, fully orchestrated and incredible, it made the game so much more, and they've ruined it by making it almost bloody midi!

It's disgusting. Hmph.

It's an update, extra discoveries, backstories, more stuff to find, other bits and bobs.

It is probably my favourite game on the Cube. I cannot stress how much of a pleasure this game is to play. Took me 72 hours to fully complete 100%, and every one of them I enjoyed. I can't say that about many other games.

Diffcilut to find? There are loads of places selling it. It will go that way eventually but for now there are plenty around.

As for the game, it is just abouts the best damn RPG ever, definitley in the same league as Final Fantasy VII and KOTOR.

I almost gave up on finding it, but then it suddenly came back into the shops. This was about 6 months ago, so i got it, and now it's dissapeared again.
A-ha.

Amazing game.
A pleasure to play.

Dunno. I got it from GAME the day it came out, for £35, but that was a really long time ago.

Now it's really difficult to find.

So where would be the cheapest place to get it?
