"How fantastic is skies of Arcadia?"

Despite naff graphics I am loving this Skies game. Picked it up along with 3 other games (see my £50 in cambridge thread) for a mere £19 and I can't imagine a closer RPG alternative to Zelda. Vast, expansive, encourages exploration and a deep story. In fact as storylines go it moves at a far faster pace than that Wind Waker game.

Great game, feels a bit like Starfox to play (not quite sure why) but of course i mean that in a good way.

If you can find it buy it. You won't regret it. Roll on Skies 2.

It gets better... a little. The last few levels are the best of a rather mediocre game. The weapons improve but remain nowhere as good a Timesplitters guns.

Started playing 007 Nightfire today... boy is that slow.

Well what are the connons you do have in each of your ships four weapon slots?
It mostly only takes 1 shot to deflect his shots anyway, but the secondary cannons are there so you will at least be able to hit him at least once if something misses, and it will with only one cannon.

Cheers for the help there, only one problem.. I don't have secondary cannons :S Did I miss the chance to buy them? I remember finding out about them on Pirate Island, but they were never for sale.. so I can't stop getting hit by the Giga. :(

I might have to go back to the game after Film 2003.

There is a way to not get hit by the gigas at all, still takes as long just to get to Belleza anyways, but before you start the battle i would recomend that the person with the remaining MPs learn Sacres, but if you have no problem wit MP supplies and all characters have Sacres then your in for a real easy ride after the gigas.

Okay to the point, the gigas has only one attack per round, this is denoted by the red square on the attacking board, if you use one of the secondary cannons before that turn and continue it on to it, plus attack using a main cannond on the turn he fires then he will utterly miss, now, when he gets to 2 ttacks per round you should have enough SP to contend with the increase, this only lasts one turn until you are given the choice to go fight Belleza, if you followed that breif guide then you will not get hit AT ALL by the gigas, and save your supplies for the sweet(you'll see why later on in the game), and respectable Woman that is Admiral belleza

Yeh, usually die before then though.. I do know her patterns well though, for instance I can tell you know she always Defends on the last turn of turn two. I really shouldn't have saved with hardly any health items right before the battles, I guess, but I didn't know they were coming. Kinda short-sighted of the game, don't ya think?

Goddamn you need a magic cannon. Scri/um etc, Increm, Quika.......

Hey all.

Got up to the Pyramid thing, just come out and have to battle the Giga. That takes away loads of my health and I have to waste what few healing items I have. Then I have another boss after that, which usually wastes me before I get a chance to use the Harpoon Cannoon. I've saved right before, so I can't go and buy loads of stuff.. Any help on surviving?

You can heal up but to do so you need to sleep the night where ever you are going.
