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.
