I always wanted the game, but then I had 15 random battles in the space of 7 minutes if I remember correctly. It was too much for me, so I had to give up, although the plot was really good and the flying pirate ships were fantastic.
I hate random batles.

I still like Black & White, my massive ape is called Bruce Willis and he hates infants.

Yup, it's currently on offer (and in stock) on two auction sites and at least 3 .co.uk websites. Just go to www.google.co.uk and type:
"Skies of Arcadia" then hit search (UK sites only).
If you listened to me eariler... you could have got it. Moral of the story: Always do what I say.
I'm getting a Dreamcast this week.
But due to the fact that you cannot get this game ANYWHERE anymore, i'm gunna wait for it to come-out on the GameCube instead.
I've also heard from other Dreamcast fans about how great it is, but they won't sell.
"I was getting worried. You hadn't mentioned Skies Of Arcadia in what... erm... a week? :D"
I was in Venice, that's why.
I really do have to play FFX, you know, FM. No money or will to buy a PS2 at the moment though. Maybe it'll come out on PC. Maybe. Maybe. Or Gamecube.
> It'll make you a better lover. Honest.
Why try to improve perfection? However, yes SOA is definitely up there in the top 3 RPGs of all time for me.
*Looks at Dreamcast, thinks about plugging it in and trying out Sega GT or SOA again, then goes off to play FFX on the PS2 for a bit...*
