Skies of Arcadia Legends

At the risk of seeming like someone who starts reviews with their life story, I vehemently disliked Dreamcast back in the day. I won't go into why, but an older me has still to play catchup with some of the more notable games I missed due to this. Skies of Arcadia being probably top of that list until I beat it last night.

Produced by the late Rieko Kodama of Phantasy Star IV notoriety, I'd always kinda had half an eye on this game. Until Persona 5, PSIV was probably my favourite RPG ever. So, here we are with not-Phantasy Star, set on the world of Arcadia. Which is all apparently in the sky and has six moons? Is Arcadia a gas giant planet? Just, like, a really small one? It doesn't matter, as an excuse for motherfucking sky pirates I'm totally here for it.

The story pans out, in the broad strokes at least, quite typically. Of an evil empire, an ancient race, and a world-threatening danger the former needs the latter to bring about. But it's the finer strokes that shine; I was quite impressed with a fair smattering of the scenes here, even containing some half-decent 'acting' from the polygon models and their replacement-texture faces. It never went anywhere radically new, but what was there was good enough that it didn't have to.

Combat is pretty solid as well. This game's thing being that, well, all your spells take 1MP to cast. However, there's a 'spirit point' cost to them (and special/super moves which take zero MP) -- which come from a pool shared by the entire party. This adds a resource-management element to it all, and changes up the dynamic from the usual oldschool RPG turn-based combat affair of "hit the boss with all the heavy stuff, heal if need be". You may have to pick one or the other. Or both, if you spent a turn or two using the 'focus' ability to forego any action in favour of generating more spirit points than are normally awarded per turn.

There's also, this being sky pirates and all, airship combat! Also turn-based, this replaces the four character actions with four discrete slots per turn with which to do whatever; a selection of four onship weapons, items, or later on there's even a selection of spells from your character's arsenal (although selectively so). These are grand in scope and quite dramatic; but also a little long-winded.

In fact, that's related to perhaps my singular complaint about the whole journey; quite often there's a lot of game between save-points. My RPG playtime is late at night before bed (the experience as a whole of the genre is somewhat sleep-inducing for my attention span and I) and "I'll play until the next save" kept me up longer and longer as the game progressed. Not a problem for binge-gamers, and only a small niggle for me.

I have some reservations about the game's look as well, but that's a product of it being still relatively-early 3D territory and the jank that comes with it. But the art direction is pretty good, and has an excellent soundtrack to boot -- I hear the Dreamcast original sounds even better.

I'll stop beating around the bush now, Skies of Arcadia Legends was an amazing time in its 40-hour runtime. I'm definitely going to play through it again at some point in the future.

5/5

[Skies of Arcadia Main Theme - Yutaka Minobe]

Vyse : Ah, yes. Fancy weather we're having. Beautiful music playing. This is truly quite the optional. Celebrating my anniversary ever since Sega has dropped out on me and the Dreamcast. But I'm gonna relax in my nice safe--

Homer (o.s) : Boring!

[RECORD SCRATCH]

Vyse : Wha-?

Aika : That main theme blows! Give us a real music party for no reason! [Presses the "PLAY" button]

[Party Party Party by Andrew WK plays instead]

[everyone except for Vyse starts partying to music]

*DBZ SFX : BOING*

Vyse [in disbelief] : Why did I even bother?

#Gamefemerides Hace 22 años se lanza en América Skies of Arcadia. Un RPG desarrollado por Overworks y publicado por @sega para el Dreamcast. El jugador controla a Vyse, un joven pirata aéreo, y a sus amigos, mientras intentan impedir que el Imperio Valuan pueda revivir armas antiguas con el poder de destruir al mundo. Skies of Arcadia usa mecánicas de RPG japoneses tradicionales, como las batallas por turnos, puntos de experiencia basado en la progresión del personaje, pero pone mayor enfoque en exploración. #LegionGamerRD #ElGamingnosune #Videojuegos #Gaming #RetroGaming #RetroGamer #CulturaGaming #CulturaGamer #GamingHistory #HistoriaGaming #GamerDominicano #GamingPodcast #Podcast #Overworks #SEGA #SkiesofArcadia #SEGADreamcast #Dreamcast #Nintendo #NintendoGameCube #JRPG #RPG https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck5rOYiLqpN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The manga industry, especially JUMP, needs to hurry up and do away with weekly scheduling for mangaka. There needs to better regulations put into place for their health and safety because this is pitiful. Two weeks - monthly updates should’ve already been the standard for the manga industry at this point. These money grabbers will only continue to put the lives of these artists at stake for the sake of capitalism unless some serious changes are implemented.

#it’s just???#at the end of the day all these people want to do is draw and write their stories and share them with the world #why is death from stress the end game for so many of them #this should not be part of the package when finally deciding that this is what you want to do with your life #rambling #I still never got over miura’s passing man #and Togashi is still here but he’s been suffering from the consequences of overwork #it’s just… all so bleak #fans just need to learn to be patient if these changes are ever made and to be respectful #your fav series is not gonna die just because you can’t get it right now #I’m glad that gege does this now like he takes a break every 2-3 chapters and that’s good #this should be normalized

"Go to hell" is basic. "Hope your favourite anime movie sequel gets cancelled after seven years in production AND getting an animated teaser." is smart. It's possible. It's terrifying. It's happened.

#I don't follow YOI #but seriously though I feel really bad for the fans #Mappa has such talented staff but management's work practices suuuuuck #those guys are probably being overworked on way too many projects and there's been too high a staff turnover to continue the film #like I'd be amazed if any of the original artists are still working on it #imagine working on it knowing now that your work won't see daylight and that none of the overtime or suffering was worth it #yuri on ice #ice adolescence #mappa studio
