![]() ![]() They are Blue Rogues who are Air Pirates, but the good kind. The characters make the story very interesting and hilarious to follow along with, especially our main two characters, Vyse & Aika. Who needs a life? You need to stop De Loco!!! I like that it makes you push through to get to the next checkpoint and everything, but I am an adult with screaming babies and a wife who needs help, so this was also a slight annoyance for me at times. Not just that, but in these base areas or dungeons you cannot save whenever you want anymore, which you are able to throughout the rest of the game. There was one base that was specifically annoying with this, because it had traps that would send you all the way back to the beginning and have you stop and go all the way back to the position where you needed to be. It is significantly frustrating to be heading somewhere and get stopped a hundred times. It just depends on what is going on in your game at the time, whether you are anxious to try out a new special move or to get to your next objective. On the other side of that though, there are times when that was exactly what I wanted to do. I love the JRPG-type battle system, but it can become a bit of a grind when you go 3 steps, battle, 2 steps, battle, and so on. So there are obviously a few draw backs, no game is perfect. Back at the release, the cases came with a manual that had this type of chart attached so that you could just hold that to the side while you learn the system, but sadly my copy was not complete with the booklet. The weaknesses and strengths are easy to catch onto once you use them a few times in battle but it helps always have this handy on your smart phone or otherwise. The battle system is a blast, but I really wish I had kept this handy earlier in the game so that I could have been doing more damage to my foes. I would like to save any of you who plan on playing the game some time by attaching the color strength and weakness chart below. This game did so many things right and was a real joy to play. It was definitely frustrating, but I think that I have played enough of this highly regarded Dreamcast/GameCube classic to write a review on what I was able to play. I tried general cleaning, toothpaste, chap stick, and I was going to move on to more methods but I finally just said what’s the point. Sadly when I got a good 20+ hours into the game I got to a point that froze over and over and would not be fixed no matter what methods I used. So why was this such a tragic experience for me you might ask? Well I got this gem from a Craigslist ad, for free! Someone was obviously getting rid of old games that probably weren’t even theirs and I seriously couldn’t believe my luck. Skies of Arcadia: Legends is described as a “Director’s Cut” version that is mostly just a port of the original. I played the GameCube version that wasn’t released until 2003, so that is the date I decided to use for the review’s archival. I will get to why that is in just a moment, first I would like to clarify that the original Dreamcast game was released in 2000 for Japan and North America. Whats up everybody, I am here to talk to you about an amazing/heartbreaking experience I had playing Skies of Arcadia. ![]() “ The following is a guest post by The Midnight Mystic Mage.” – The Beatles, Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly, ![]() With tangerine trees and marmalade skies, ![]()
