Like I have said before, I had a demo of Skies of Arcadia, and I never managed to complete it...

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.

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).

I'm not getting it, if that helps. I shall be getting BROKEN SWORD 3 though, and BROKEN SWORD 3 will be infinite better. Moral: Get BROKEN SWORD 3.

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 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.

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...*
