Skies of Arcadia is the videogame I will more often compare to some of the best movies from Studio Ghibli.
It is an underrated classic which presents a world made of clouds, pirates and timeless charm, fulls of stunning landscapes and secret that makes the world feel alive.
A music that flawlessly accompany every moment of the game.
A story that feels pretty traditional, but makes you care for the protagonists and the characters you meet on your journey.
Some parts of the game, especially combats and some of the dungeons, can feel repetitive or can carry for far too long.
But in my opinion it is still worth proceeding, as the highs of this gem are able to easily outshine its lows.
The fact that SEGA hasn't released it or ported this fantastic experience blows my mind. ABsolute waste on their part.
If you have the chance, give it a shot. It will stuck in your mind for years.

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 )
