Why is Amazon trying to sell me this now? (2012)

Why is Amazon trying to sell me this now? (2012)
Skies of Arcadia probably ranks among my top-10 RPG games of all time. Other games let you fly an airship. This one hands you an airborne Missouri-class battleship and tells you to go to town. The story writing is quite well done and the standard hand-to-hand combat isn't too bad, though it may happen a bit too often.My only question, why is Amazon trying to sell me this 12+ years after it went out of print?

One of the best stand-alone JRPG's out there. The premise, execution, creativity, and attention to detail in so many counts makes it a real treasure. That being said, the slightly updated version for Game Cube is that little bit nicer than the Dreamcast original.

In short the game is about air pirates that rob from the rich and give to the poor, kind of like Robin Hood. They explore the world, make friends and enemies, and of course save the world from complete destruction. Classic game that I would recommend to anyone who enjoys role playing games and have hours of free time.

Skies of Arcadia is a fun, addicting game that will steal away your nights and weekends until you beat it. The colors, the fights, the story, all will be imprinted on your brain for some time to come. But if you are a person of little patience and less tolerance, maybe you should consider a raincheck because this game may drive you to the BRINK!
Allow me to explain if you will. Skies of Arcadia follows loosely the guidelines set by the Final Fantasy series. You will have a group of three to four warriors and you will find and defeat a series of enemies. Weapons and combat skills will abound while magic will grow and engulf the world around you. To this tried and true style, several major and important advancements were made.
1) Ship battles. You will love this the first second you play it. Not unlike some of the monster battle games of the world, you will order your ship to make 4 "moves" for a given turn. This can be magic, repair, attack, or defend. Then you will okay it and sit back. the four turns will be played out in front of you not unlike a movie, with your ship and your enemy swirling about and attacking. Then the 4 turns will end and you will be given a chance to make 4 move moves. Battle goes on until either you or your enemy plunges from the skies in flames. However this sounds to you, I promise this will be one of the better aspects of the game to you.
2)Move to move combat. Not unlike the ship battles above, personal combat follows a turn basis. Instead of having time bars that fill until it is your turn, each side will decide what their warriors will do, and then they will do it. When a person goes in determined by what their speed is. Strategy evolves around your ability to guess what you enemy will do and counter it. Boss battles are some of the most inspiring and fun things you will partake in.
But not all is flowers in the Skies of Arcadia. Much like FF, you will often be ambushed by random enemies. The difference here is how often it happens. Throughout the game you are expected to find or discover your next area of importance. Well this is rather hard when ever fifth step of tenth seconds you have to fend off hordes of enemies. I personally tired every way possible to avoid those all-to-common attacks but to no avail. There is a actual dis-insentive to explore because you don't want to spend hours fighting your way in, possibly finding some weapon or goody, and then spending more time getting back out so you can continue on your way. And there is no relief from this tedium. Only towns are safe for you to explore freely. Now I understand why this is in the game but COME ON! I don't want to have to fight an army everytime I go into some cave. This feature needed to be spread out a little.
Also of annoyance is the lack of dialouge. Everything is writte with the exception of a few simple and comically dsiplaced sound-bytes. In the end, I think I should have been happy for just those but a bit more actual taliking and a bit less eye-wearying reading would have been nice.
So in conclusion, this is a must have for your average DC owner (although we are a dying breed). But if you have a short fuse, might want to look elsewhere because I am a patient and mellow tempered person and I nearly gouged my eyes out from the almost constant combat.

When I purchased this game from joelir, the condition description read as "Item in great condition and complete - case, booklet and discs all in excellent condition. Tested - from a collector's home". Well, the game had NOT been tested because disc 1 would not load at all. Disc 2 is fine but with the first disc being defective, I cannot begin to play the game!! I am VERY DISAPPOINTED!

2.0 out of 5 stars This game is incredibly overrated.
Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2016
One of the most overrated games of all time.

I understand why Skies of Arcadia gets love. On the surface it seems like it's great. You get to be a sky pirate flying around, leveling up and having adventures! Unfortunately it all falls apart because the combat is very tedious to the point of being bad. One of the problems that turn-based RPGs have to try to overcome is the tendency to have every character just use their most powerful attack every round, it's a difficult problem to solve and most developers come up with systems to address it, in Skies it's actually made worse by the shared points meter. All of the parties magic and special attacks draw from a single pool so as a result instead of each character doing their strongest attack, you're going to have Every character but one forgo their turn so that you can use the best available special over and over. I spent the entire last half of the game doing this on every boss and it's terrible. The magic system is also useless but I guess it's just as well since it's tied to the same pool and you wouldn't want to waste those points on party buffs when it would mean doing one less special! It was an innovative idea, but it didn't work.

Great Jrpg. Fun and kinda light with engaging story and puzzles. The amount of random battles can be a little disheartening now and then, but the battle system is pretty easy. I get a little tired of watching the cut scenes accompanying the power moves.
