This is the first time I've heard this theory.. and not through not being informed enough about Skies, to be sure.

If only you were a billionaire WS, I'd love to see it made. But if SegaWow do intend to announce an as-yet-unrevealed Skies project, I'd rather it be a sequel is all. Rather see something completely new with all the stuff you suggested, perhaps it could include stuff from Skies interwoven in - set years afterwards with revelations about things from the original Skies game. With mucho FMV.

I still think the PLaystation name alone will make it more successful than Nintendo's handheld.


But even if the DS and GBA2 do fair better, it's only a matter of time before Sony or even Microsoft gain dominance over the handheld market.

No way will the PSP beat the DS, it's design has many many faults, for one being it's battery length, most of it's battery is being used to sustain the huge power being required of the screen, and so it's battery life is usually about 3 hours or less, which isn't exactly kosher if you want to play your game for a long time without worry of power loss. Also you would only be able to play at least 1 normal legenth film of about 2 hours for the ability of 1 set of batterys so you' have to go out and buy many batterys just for planning to do certain things like watching movies.
It's a waste of money for both Sony (especially if it isn't sony made batterys poeple are buying) and games producers for needing to put way too many save portals into games because there's a risk the psp could run out of energy at any time? get real.
The DS is using the GBA SP style Lithium-ion battery with mains charge, but it's probably more advanced than that version. So this baby will not ever run the risk of running out of power unless you're nowhere near a mains socket.

Also the only type of people that will really want the PSP are movie fanatics that is only interested in the PSP's portable DVD player abilitys, but Nintedo are still yet again reaching out for the entire gaming public of both kids and adults, and are getting all of those customers who are still loyal to the previous GB's.

Zelos doesn't get 'disintegrated', it gets blown down.

The disintegration is merely the death effect for things in the game.


And come on, Galcian, Elcian, one appears after the other dies? Most people from SoA world agree that there is some link between the two of them.

And who's to say he has no involvment with the black moon, because he didn't decide to sit down and tell you about it with some tea and biscuits?

There's a million things we don't know about the world of Arcadia, there isn't a great many things you can call 'facts'.



I know it's very long, but I do love it so. I want to play it with amazing graphics and fantastic FMV scenes liberally scattered through out, wouldn't you like to see Glacia or the rains of destruction in their full glory? Or the Gigas themselves?

And upon defeating each of the Admirals there would be a fairly long scene of the battle, where you get to see your crew manning all the guns etc.


If I was a millionaire I'd fund the project even if it was just for my own use.

If I was a billionaire I'd make it graphically the most amazing game ever, with plenty of long FMV scenes to explain the story, then I'd mega spam the Tv and cinemas with adverts for it, and subsudise the price so it would retail at £10. Basically get everyone to own the best game ever made.


Possibly have it made into 6 2 hour and a half films...

I know Elcian appears in the Rift just before the final battle, but it being Galcian re-born? That's just not possible. Galcian had no connection to the Black Moon, and you don't see other characters re-incarnated this way.

And Zelos.. isn't that the thing I disintegrated twice over? It's gone. Ramirez is gone too.

> Also, Skies can never be too long.

I didn't say anything about it being too long. Just that it was pretty long already. My 100% save (minus a few chests I missed.. damn) took me over 70 hours. I can't think of another Cube game I've played as long. I'd prefer to see development time put on a new game than just expanding/updating Skies again.

No, go see for yourself in the rift after he's been defeated. A giant black looper appears that has a very similar name to Galcian, it's also rock hard.

There's no reason why Ramirez couldn't still be alive, he's become part of Zelos, and Zelos is an incredibly powerful being, it could easily sustain him. And there's plenty of land in deep sky that he it could have crashed down onto.

Also, Skies can never be too long.

Hahahaha. You are joking right?

Bringing Ramirez back would be just make the perfect of ending of Skies.. ruined. They would have to think up a better plot than that.

The games already been remade once.. and to be honest it's pretty huge already. The current "ending" is perfect, it's all rounded off, with Vyse, Aika and Fina carrying on adventuring.

If you remember from the game it was the advanced civs. that created the gigas, they don't just evolve from nature, they had to of been created, and the purpose for the other gigas was for war. Now if the 6 civ's never knew about the black civ. and vis versa then the black civ wouldn't have been at war with them and thus never created a gigas to aid them them for world conquest. Also to have create a gigas the civ. had to have been at such a stage in technology that it was possible for them to create a being of massive power using their own moon crystals, so if the black civ. never got that far in their evolution then they couldn't have created one, especially if their civ was wiped out somehow, possibly the moon fell from it's orbit and created the dark rifts.
But there is another theory, perhaps it was the black civilisation that had grew the quickest and evolved far beyond the other races, but way before the others grew too, but they became overconfident with their power and somehow destroyed their own moon due to over usage or some other cause, and thus wiped out before the other races flourished.

Every moon is capable of a Gigas cause every moon has a crystal.
