This is a masterpiece. I first played on Dreamcast and later on Gamecube and countless times since. It has a sense of exploration that most games still struggle with today that deserves preservation and attention. It's high flying adventure is one of the most magical things I've experienced. Ship combat is also an amazing part of the game on top of the standard turn based rpg formula. If you love pirates, adventure, freedom, and the idea of a world built of islands and continents floating in the endless skies, then this is an absolute must play.
If we think of games that made ‘core’ memories, for many these would be ‘FFVII’ or ‘Ocarina of Time’. Those would be a core for me too, but way later. Back then, what I had was a Dreamcast, and the dream that it casted for me that I will never forget is to fly the Skies of Arcadia.
Skies of Arcadia is Sega's Magnum Opus. It's rich world is a delicately woven, colorful tapestry full of dozens of unforgettable characters, locales, and set pieces that stick with you for a life time. Sega has ignored decades of requests to make it available to play for modern audiences despite their doing so for other entries in their Dreamcast Era lineup like the Sonic Adventure series and Jet Set Radio.
A masterpiece of the late Phoenix Rie (Rieko Kodama), this convergence of Sega's JRPG lineages combines the operatic scope of Phantasy Star with the airborne combat and exploration of Panzer Dragoon Saga. A truly unique entry in the genre, unavailable to purchase for two decades.
it was the very first rpg game that was so fun and addicting to me that it made me want to 100 percent it more than once because it was so fun, and plus the music alone just makes it so amazing
I remember back shortly after I graduated, I bought a Dreamcast for the heck of it. It came with Skies of Arcadia. This game alone brought to me a love of airships and exploration that I hadn't experienced since the days of Final Fantasy 6 (3, back when I played it) The combat felt, admittedly a bit slow at first, but after a few hours in, I didn't even notice it. I would love nothing more than to experience this again.
This is one of the best JRPGs ever made, with excellent graphics, characters, soundtrack, and gameplay. One of the things that sets it apart from games of its kind is the battles with flying ships. It deserves a release on GOG so more players can learn about it and enjoy it.
Easily one of my favorite RPGs of all time. It was the game that got me into turn-based RPGs and to this day, I haven't played a game like it. This game needs to be revived so that way people can play this masterpiece. From the setting, to the story, characters, OST, ect. I played this on Dreamcast when came out and I've been hooked ever since. Truly an experience that everyone needs to play! RIP Rieko Kodama
An absolutely phenomenal RPG that doesn't get half as much recognition as it deserves, this game is a pure joy to experience. Every moment is beautiful, all the characters are great and it's completely epic. It's may be a controversial opinion, but I prefer this over FFVII.
