Ive heard alot about it. i would really like an above average rpg on the gc. I have zelda and i have almost completed it. im looking towards skies of arcadia to be my next adventure game but from what ive heard it seems pretty average. Is it better than lost kingdom and baldurs gate?
opinions please:

The most I got in a row was 2, one on Drachma, then on VYse, but neither of them were killed by it, so I tackled him back and hit him with a Cutlass Fury.
I won, no problemo.

The Executioner can be very unforgiving.

I've had him do three Tackle attacks in a row, and just wiped out my entire party before I could do anything.

I didn't find the Executioner difficult whatsoever.

I was expecting to have another fight of some sort in the colleseum so I saved and healed before going up.

It was still simple though.

THe poison monster was a bit more difficult however, until I remembered that you can change the moonstone powering my weapon.

That bit was a bit of a git, lost Vyse and what's her face when fighting the executioner so it was just down to beardy bloke to win the fight.

He kicked his a-ss though.

Superb game.

I think they've actually changed a few things and may be harder.

A few bosses are really tough.


Like when you fight the poison monster and then the Exectuioner straight after near the beginning of the game.


It's pretty easy later on though, although the bounty fights can be very nasty.

Twas my favourite game for a little while, the Dreamcast version still rates as one of my favourites.

The graphics weren't too amazing on Dreamcast, but I didn't care about them - the game in general was amazing!

A word of warning though, there is a bit of a steep learning curve in the game - but once you've learned what you need, you'll be 'sailing'

Well its considered better than most FF games, and easily an above average RPG. A very long game to, 50+ hours.
