An RPG with pirates floating around on a magic ship in the clouds! What more can I say?
Skies of Arcadia is the best RPG game on Sega Dreamcast (sorry Phantasy Star Online). It feels similar to Panzer Dragoon Saga on the Sega Saturn, only with a much more bright and sunny graphics and colorful storyline. Unlike Panzer Dragoon Saga, Skies of Arcadia does not feature full videos or voice acting (instead using subtitles). However, Skies of Arcadia is a compelling game in its own right. It offers a unique world with space pirates who fly around on a magical ship through the clouds. The battle system is turn based, but with many unique gameplay features and magic power ups. Overall, one of the best Dreamcast games and a must for any RPG fan.Read full review

One of Sega's Dreamcast best Role Playing Games. Was very advanced in graphics, strategy and gameplay.
This received 5 stars because of the gameplay, graphics and difficulty of the game. In many places the game was tough but yet exiting to play due to its toughness. The challenge it took with patience and good strategy to advance through the game. Skies Of Arcadia deserves its place among the best RPG'S of all time. Gameplay, toughness, strategy, graphics, and turn based show it's credibility and respect of a great RPG for the Sega Dreamcast. It Is for sure a 5 star rated game. Highly recommend those who love strategy turned based RPG games. Read full review

Swift and exactly what I was promised
It's weird that it wants me to review the graphics and gameplay for a 24 year old Dreamcast game. This game is a core memory in my life and it helped determine a lot of the decisions I have made in my life. Skies of Arcadia is the type of game where you either know it and love or you don't know it and don't care. There's really no in-between.
Anyway, I appreciate you parting with your copy for me, my friend, and I am happy to say that it arrived safe and sound and just as intact as you had promised. I intend to play these disks, but they will be taken care of in a way I didn't do with my own copy when I was younger.
Cheers, and thank you. :)Read full review

Nostalgia for days!
After this games initial release I was able to borrow it from a friend. Before getting the chance to beat the game my friend needed the game back. I am now able to go back and finally finish it. While the price of this game has sky rocketed and I don't think the price hike is quite worth what you get, I am happy I can finally finish this great game from a gaming system that's life was far to short. RIP Sega Gaming Systems.
Storyline is compelling. Graphics are fantastic (for the era of the SoA's release). Battle and magic system are decent. Controls can get a little wonky at times but not debilitating.
Biggest issue: The opening screen crashes. I don't think I've ever been able to watch the whole thing regardless of the disc condition. I think it's bad code not hardware damage.Read full review

Must have for collectors!
Skies of Arcadia was a very underrated rpg game. I would love to see a remake or even a remaster of this series on current gen but I doubt that will ever happen. The story is immersive and the characters are charming. Back in the day on the Dreamcast the graphics were pretty great for the time. You definitely won't regret your purchase for this game!Read full review

The best RPG on the Dreamcast!
This game is a must have for any Dreamcast owner! The Dreamcast may not have been known especially well for games in the RPG genre, but Skies of Arcadia alone makes up for the lack of RPGs by itself. An absolute necessity for fans of RPGs, Sega, and classic gaming in general. Skies of Arcadia is worth every penny of the particularly high price (for a Dreamcast title)!Read full review

Finest RPG From The Legendary Company That Is SEGA
I remember when I got my Official Dreamcast Magazine and it contained a DEMO disc with Skies Of Arcadia on it. Up until that moment, I knew that Final Fantasy 7 was the only RPG that was fantastic. Once I played the first few moments of the DEMO, I started to see just how wonderful Skies really was.
When Skies came out, I bought it at the local EB Games store and once I got to play the full game, I must say that Sega and Overworks have made a game worthy of being considered one of the best RPGs ever made.
Playing it now on my Dreamcast, through the VGA to HDMI converter on a SMART TV, the game looks and sounds more spectacular than I remember.
I highly recommend this game to people new to RPGs right down to the RPG fanatics.
God Bless you all and keep gaming it up.Read full review

Nostalgic journey
There weren't a lot of RPGs on Sega consoles, the Dreamcast in particular. So the ones that do exist should be cherished in a certain sense. Sure the graphics are dated, the load times, while short, are still egregious when held up against today's standards, but for those willing to put up with such shortcomings skies of arcadia has much to offer. The lack of full voice acting hurts, but there's so much charm on display. I never had the opportunity to play this on my childhood Dreamcast, but I'm rectifying that now, and it's helping me reconnect with my teenage self in a way few other retro games have. Maybe not a five star experience in and of itself but the nostalgia factor pushes it over the top for me.
