Forums - Gaming - Skies of Arcadia is overrated

FFT is still by far the cream of the crop.

Almost everything about the game sucks, but it's still good. See how that doesn't make much sense?

I never said it sucks...just a lot of it was pretty typical stuff. Yet it's singled out as a really great RPG when there's tons of better ones out there.

Yes, I wonder why its typical. 

(Hint: Most games try to copy the great ones before it! Skies came out over 8 years ago!)

They should've tried to copy a good story from PS1 then (IIRC SoA was supposed to compete with FF?)

But copying good stories is Tales' job.

You mean Tales of Symphonia and every other tales game except ToV and ToA job.

I'm just messing with Soriku for being very selective in his criticism.

 

I bet VC is a better game than SoA.

Now leave me alone ;)

LOL.

Alright, I chuckled.

I come in just to see if it's Soriku or DMJ complaining about the game...



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

FFT was so amazing I would forget it was a FF, the question is do you really remember how amazing FFT is?

I got SoA: Legends.

This is why. Example. When it was originally released it was amazing. Like everyone else says it doesnt really excel at any one thing. I think the 3d graphics and freedom of travel helped alot to make it a fond memory for people. You have played it years after release on the Cube. In a time where graphics and Jrpg's have progressed. It's like someone who hasnt played FF6 plays it after FF9. There is every chance they will think it sucks.

Hmm... I loved SoA on my Dreamcast. I mean, of course it didn't revolutionize the genre, but how many JRPGs do that? And still, I saw a lot of stuff in Skies of Arcadia which were quite unique: the ship battles, the fact that you could build/create/decorate your own pirate island (how cool is that? :D), the whole "adventurous", sky pirate-feeling it had... charaters also were anything different than generic if you ask me, Vyse beeing almost as cool a main protagonist like Grandia II's Ryudo ;)
