the best skypirate is Vyse, bro.

That game sucked dick, teefs.

I'm not a huge fan of Skies of Arcadia.

But Vyse is cool enough just in Valkyria Chronicles to justify him.

cj iwakura

Skies of Arcadia was okay, but Grandia 2 was better.

As Dreamcast RPGs go, I mean. The PS2 version of the latter was a travesty.

It wasn't bad if you didn't have the Dreamcast version to compare it to, I guess.

I played the PS2 version and loved it.

Yeah, it's still a great game, but I hear the PS2 version had some serious issues.


The DC one blew me away. I'd never seen an RPG that gorgeous at the time.

Skies of Arcadia is cool and all, but the actual combat and levelling system sucks. The random encounters were fucking nuts, too, which didn't help the situation at all.

The air combat was pretty fucking great, though. I have no idea why they didn't exploit that more. Also, creating a crew and a base of operations was really fun.

White Map + Gamecube reduced encounters, bro

What the fuck? No. No, this is just objectively wrong.

Penguin Incarnate

Regardless of how I feel about Skies of Arcadia, I think we can all agree that the game needs a sequel to fix all the stupid shit that was in it and, above all, give us another fucking sky pirate game. How hard is it to realize that this is what the people want, Japan?

UnbreakableVow

Very hard, apparently.

Apparently no one in Japan heard that an FFVII remake is a free money-printer.

Penguin Incarnate

Or we could get a game we haven't played before.

UnbreakableVow

Not saying that. Not saying I wouldn't prefer a new game (or even a new IP) to a remake.

But are you denying that it would make them shit-tons of money?

cj iwakura

I don't think Overworks(the Skies of Arcadia dev team) exists anymore, sadly. Much like all of Sega's development crews with any talent.

UnbreakableVow

What

They just made Valkryia Chronicles, which is pretty much the best game on the PS3.

cj iwakura

That was Overworks?

Well, that explains that.


I especially miss Smilebit. Panzer Dragoon Orta and Jet Set Radio's devs.

I dunno if I'd consider either the best over-all. Delita maybe when it comes to the best character in FFT. It's between him and this guy in my eyes.

Munkus Beaver

I think Balthier is a secret character in FFT, ironically enough.

Though the dialogue in the PSP remake of FFT was some of the best I've seen so far.

At least it won't be too much of a pain to replay all that crap.

I Win Swordfights

I remember seeing the ads for skies of arcadia in my egm and knowing nothing other than sky pirates and being so jealous that I couldn't play it

Shorty

Skies of Arcadia was bullshit. The random encounter rate was easily twice what is tolerable even in the Gamecube version, the plot was forgettable, the combat animations were downright garbage, and the dialogue was par for a JRPG (that's bad}. The game had exactly one saving grace, and that was the ship-to-ship combat.

For me it's

Endomatic

Is she that Brigand you kill in the first chapter?

Or is that just a random female knight?

cj iwakura

Wiegraf's sister. She comes back in the PSP version, sort of.

The Geek

I always say Mustadio's name with an corny Italian accent.

Javen

I have today off so I'm probably gonna kick back with some FFIX or Chrono Cross.

Mathilda

Man, I need to find a working copy of IX. The one I purchased didn't work past the end of the second disk on my PS1 or PS2.

Phonehand

Oh man. Day off. Kickin some Nocturne. Soooooo fine.

Javen

I need to start taking full advantage of having multiple save slots for one block for more of my games. KH2, for example, I have separate continue points for all of my favorite sections. I keep wanting to play games but eventually talk myself out of it because starting out is too often slow and tedious.

Penguin Incarnate

Damn, I love the art for FFT, too.

I have not yet completed the game.

Probably not even close.

But I was running around in Barheim to get a deathbringer and some other armor and I found myself in an Esper battle.

Party was at level 30, the boss is rated for level 40-50.

Just let off 4 quickening chains and brought him down (he had 75k HP).
