This has additional benefits in combat and exploration. The player controls Vyse as he roams around the sky islands, discovering new lands, exploring dungeons and recruiting more support crew members from the various islands for the Blue Rogues expanded crew. ![]() As they share a common enemy, the Blue Rogues agree to help Fina in her quest. She is saved when Vyse and Aika, who had come to raid the ship that had captured Fina, chase off the Valuan Admiral and free her from captivity taking her back to their ship. With this biological weapon they will be capable of taking over the entire world and soon corner Fina, a 17 year old 'Silvite' girl who has connections to the Moon Crystals and has been sent to find them by her people before the Valuan Empire does. The Valuan Empire meanwhile are trying to get their hands on the Moon Crystals in order to awaken a living biological weapon capable of wiping humanity out. The game wasn't that hard to find when it came out, and plenty of people owned copies, so its not that scarce and its current prices are ludicrous.Vyse and Aika are members of the Blue Rogues, an air ship pirate crew who only plunder from the corrupt and tyrannical Valuan Empire's warships. ![]() I'd advise looking around before handing over what is currently not far off £100 on these websites. Those without a copy yet, beware Amazon and eBay profiteers. Quite simply, its a must for classic era JRPG fans. And even with such competition as classic FF, Grandia, Chrono Trigger and RPGs-lite such as Zelda, SoA still managed to stand out with its vibrant colour palette and unique sky pirate theme. Back in 2000/2001, however, Skies of Arcadia was merely the latest in a long line of fantastic RPG titles going back fifteen or more years across a wide range of systems. Final Fantasy has long since lost its way, and what remains appears to be confined to Nintendo's consoles. With the state of that genre these days, with their quick fix broad appeal gameplay, I would suggest that we are now talking about a style of game that all practically gone. Skies of Arcadia is up there with the very best JRPGs ever. Kudos to Sega for creating a breathtaking fantasy that will likely be a mainstay in Dreamcasts well into the spring. Skies of Arcadia is a highly addictive, gorgeous, huge, and deep role-playing game worthy of your attention. The visuals during the fight scenes may cause your jaw to fall to the ground with its bright lights and mesmerising colours and textures. ![]() The turn-based combat system is effective, with more than 70 customisable weapons to use (based on different colours) and more than three dozen magic spells (and special attacks) as indicated by the game's "spirit bar" shown on the screen. In total, there are six huge lands to explore with many different kinds of environments, such as villages, dungeons, forests, and deserts, as well as otherworldly locations. Naturally, the Valuans want the Gigas for their own malevolent political plans, so Vyse, Aika, and Fina set out to find the precious, scattered crystals and fight enemies (both human and inhuman) to keep the world safe from tyranny. While touching down on the Valuan Empire one fateful day, Vyse and his sidekick Aika rescue a mysterious girl named Fina, who was captured while trying to find six magic crystals used to summon "Gigas," powerful ancient weapons. A young and lively air pirate named Vyse, who leads a swashbuckling troupe of pirates named the Blue Rogues, spends most of his time travelling from floating island to floating island. Arcadia is a magical world where folks float through the air on giant airships. Graphically, Skies of Arcadia is surreal and stunning.
