As for Secret of Mana... I'm not sure so far. I've got to the Tiger boss in the Haunted Forest, which is very hard.
In fact, the whole game is very hard. Battles compose of "hit - wait ten seconds - hit - wait ten seconds - hit" and therefore can be done with your eyes closed... and if you're hit once, you go straight down, and then they hit you again and again, keeping you down until you die. It's pointless.
Then your "party", who does sod all. All they do is waste money, because they'll just walk into enemies instead of attacking them. I see what you mean that you need friends, because the AI is crap.
The themes in it are quite nice, but so far I've been very disapointed.

I'm getting a Dreamcast soon, and as an RPG fan, that is one game I intend to get!

...its not right...
I have played the emulation of it, and it ruins the game as emulations suck.
And if I love it on PC as much as I love Skies of Arcadia, I'll make every effort to get it on a SNES. After all, it can only get better in that case, can't it?

ITS NOT THE SAME.
YOU NEED ANOTHER CONTROL AND FRIENDS. DONT RUIN THE BEST GAME EVER!
I will now download Secret of Mana, and I shall sacrifice my coursework. Now you have to go buy Skies of Arcadia.
