After weeks of searching I finally managed to get the only copy of Skies of Arcadia Legends left in my town (or at least it seemed that way). Ever since I got my Dreamcast I have been dying to get my hands on a copy and now I have!
:)
I did have the extensive Dreamcast demo and so far it looks, feels and sounds better than the Dreamcast version. I haven't played it enough to say that the battles are better or that they have cut down the number of battles. So far I defeated the first area boss and from the opening all of the battles from the Dreamcast version were apparent.
It a fantastic game though and I am sure there is a lot more to come in the way of surprises and excellent game play. I haven't sat down and played a Cube or Xbox game in weeks so I think I will sit down and play a game properly for a few hours.
I now have Zelda, Metroid Prime, Skies of Arcadia, NBA Street 2 and some more of Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance to play through and as of yet (apart from MGS2) I haven't played very much of the other games listed. Zelda I stopped playing a couple of days after getting it and I haven't been back since. Its a couple of months since I last sat down and played Metroid Prime despite settling more into it and apart from the few hours I have played NBA Street 2 I haven't been back since.
Got a few games to play through at least and hopefully I will start playing my Cube and Xbox games again!

I agree that the music was better on the Dreamcast - but it hasn't deteriorated my enjoyment of the game too much.
I did notice that the doctor bloke (new to Legends) says "Pirtes" instead of "Pirates" at one bit...

The reviews I read before getting it just said that the sounds were the same and as I said the audio was so bad through the setup I had before that I couldn't really tell you what it was meant to be like.
The musical scores are great but the rest is pretty oridinary. When the game is this good though I couldn't give a monkeys about a few SFX. If they had tried to make them something special then you would want to know why it was average. However because gameplay and longetivity were the main focus I don't have any quarrels.
Enjoying it immensly so far. Even more so than with Zelda.

You're the only person who says that.
I nearly cried when Imperial Armada played at the start of Legends, it sounded like it was produced in a tin can.

The Dreamcast original I ran through an AV socket in my TV and the sound was dreadful. Now its running with RGB Scart and through my Surround Sound speakers. The sound is a lot better from what I played of the Dreamcast version.
You're clearly lying.
The sound is awful compared to the DC original.

Skies is top. The graphics improve as you continue playing also, oddly.
