the encounter rate is just kinda bad, but random encounters are brainless enough that they usually end in a single move or two

Bought it on a whim years ago when I bought a Dreamcast, just so I can play Grandia 2. Should get around to playing it one of these days.


It's great.
The random battles will chew up your time though.
The Character and Music are top-notch.

No clue what that is but I had to go to a Guild to claim those demons. Finally broke the 14 starter SP mark. Starting with Vyse's Raining of the Swords which kills everything. I'm a little over leveled I'm sure LOL.

I am pretty sure you could only find it on Pintas Quest.

The fact that Sega did this, will never go overlooked by me.
That they did it out of the middle of nowhere makes it even better.
Making her the medic just seals the deal.
They did a great job with that one.

I don't think I used that one much, once Lambda Burst started waning I just went to Omega Psyclone.

Lunar Winds is great because it's cheaper (6 SP), is silver-based (less enemies resist it) and Fina has a high Will stat.

That one late game attempted rape scene where Vigoro makes unwanted advances on a captive Aika is fucked up and what's worse is how the game plays it off to comedic effect and how Vigoro gets to go off free in the end.

Yeah, it makes him my favorite in this game. When you find out he passes away sometime after the end it makes me sad, but at least he is possibly with his family in the afterlife.

This guide is a bit vague on this information: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/gamecube/537506-skies-of-arcadia-legends/faqs/55814

All it says is this:

If you want to take on the fourth of the Four Giant Monsters, go ahead. Do not
forget to have Kalifa in your active crew if you want the "Vyse the
Extravagant" Swashbuckler rating, though.

Which Gigas is he talking about?

I remember being really excited for the future after playing this game, because I figured JRPGs of the future would be taking lessons from it, because it was clearly the spiritual successor to everything great about the genre in 2D. Then FFX came out lol.

Everything you love was always woke, and its less woke than it used to be, and that's why its not as good anymore, because its less woke. Also you suck.

Welp, just finished the game. The game gave you way too much money so you could buy all the healing items you want. They dropped ultimate weapons in the final dungeon so like trying to get it via moonfish was kinda dumb. Giving you easy access for perma stats breaks the game.

A very ambitious game, though especially for its time. The lore is pretty simple too.

The overall gameplay is pretty basic (and as noted, easy to break), but the characters and setting are where it truly shines.

The plot of "evil empire attempts to seize ancient weapons so it can take over the world" is fairly standard and in about 90% of all JRPGs you've ever played, but the way it's presented is fantastic.

The revelation that the Silvite elders caused the Rains of Destruction is also fairly standard, but it still works.

Great game but it hasn't aged well at all and I probably couldn't stand to have played it more then once.

Good characters with great chemistry, a fun story and setting and amazing world carried it hard.

But it still had flaws. Lack of VA, half the party beccomes irrelevant story wise barely speaks. The gameplay is slow and horribly balanced endgame. With you relying Vyse final atk for damage 95% of the time while the others are regulated to full on support. And lol, random battles were trash even back during the dreamcast era.
