I still think about Skies of Arcadia from time to time. I don't really remember the plot of the game, but I do remember thinking that the overall premise of "pirates but in the the future with flying ships and laser swords" was dope as hell. I didn't play a lot of turn-based RPGs as a kid, but this one was definitely one of my favorites.

It's alright. Combat is pretty slow and gets monotonous fast and the encounter rate is very pronounced but it's alright. Nothing groundbreaking just fine game

SEGA, just remake this one. It deserves it.
Your biggest fan, this is Stan

Time has not been kind to this game. The battles are excruciatingly slow, and the encounter rate is too high. Still, I was glad to see this all the way to the end, and the story had its moments.

OVER. RATED.

( replayed it, its quite good looking back on it )

Lovey self contained JRPG

Storyline is a pretty traditional “save the world” quest with a very unique environments and memorable locations

Ship combat was engaging and unique

Characters are very charming and likeable, although not super deep

Like watching a fun anime
