Great! But I wouldn't expect to see Skies of Arcadia 2 on the Gamecube.
"The Skies of Arcadia sequel is in the planning stages at the moment."
It sounds like the game is still deep in the development stages. I can't wait to hear more info. from Sega soon though.

It seems like it would be hard to make a sequal to the game. The didn't really leave any questions to be awnsered when it was over. It will probably just be a completly new game with new characters and stuff.

Yea, that's what I was thinking. Perhaps they'll go with a completely different world like Final Fantasy.
What would also be cool is if the game took place in the Old World. Or many generations later after Vyse, Aika and Fina are long gone. Yay or nay?

I think into the future sounds good, Here is what I think it should be like.
.

Warning some spoilers ahead
.

First Valua is partially rebuilt and Enrique and Moegi rule it. The Valuan fleet however will be much smaller. Second Yafutoma will have rebuilt there entire wall )(You know the one the yafutoman great wall thing)( and will have a huger fleet. Third Nasr will have rebuilt Nasrad and have a fresh huge fleet.
Lastly Ixa'Taka will have mined the moonstone mountain )(After the valuans leave)( and use the moonstones as fuel and built a huge fleet. Then they should have a huge war occur between all these.

That could be cool. But I was thinking many, many, MANY generations later. After the entire geography of Arcadia is drastically different. The only thing that remains of Valua, Nasrad, etc. is ancient ruins. Although Vyse and crew are long gone, the main character will again be an air pirate. Then much later through the adventure you find out that you're really a distant relative of Vyse and Aika (who were married)? The story would have to contain minimal clues up to later in the game though, so it catches you by surprise.
Hey Gamer88, Sega should give us jobs writing the story line for this game! ;)

Yeah that would be kinda cool. I think Fina and Vyse would be more likely to get married actually. Fina is almost certainly in love with Vyse, After all she had a picture of him on her desk. Plus whever something happened it was always Vyse that caught Fina. Sure Aika might have something for Vyse but near the end after I defeated Vigoro I think she may actually have liked him a little, She said "Mebbe if you didn't come on so strong...."
Idk though. I just see Fina and Vyse together more then Aika and Vyse

Don't forget that Aika gives Vyse a kiss (just before fighting the armada). Vyse and Fina could be the decedents though.
I also don't think you should know that you're even in the world of Arcadia until later in the game. All the changed geography and the like will throw the gamer off. Then once it is revealed that you're actually in the same Arcadia that Vyse, Aika and Fina sailed around it will have a "Planet of the Apes" effect.
D@MN THIS IS GOOD STUFF!
Are you listening Sega?

Yeah but it wasn't really a passionate kiss. Plus I think Aika gets around lol well this kinda made me think. When Vyse was lusting over Bellena Aika looked at vyse in a jealous way and said "Vyse! You don't know where she's been!" That means she worried that she is worried that he may sleep with a girl who gets around. Then agian that means its ok if he does stuff with Aika because he KNOWS where she has been. Idk know.
That sounds pretty cool though, That would be a cool design, I just hope they add a more in depth storyline.

I also think the ship battles should be much more dramatic and strategic. And while they're playing out they should be more cinematic. But most importantly I would like to see the same quality character development as in SOAL. I think the character development is really what set SOAL apart from other RPGs.
Gamer88
03-23-2004, 06:06 PM
I agree, The ship battles were waaaaay to easy, I think they should mix the regular battle system with the ship battle, Such as a option for you to board them, Then add a sort of strategy game when your boarding them. I agree with the character development. The characters need to change more. From beginning to end Vyse and Aika are the same people, They don't grow at all.

I was actually thinking that SOAL had some of the best character development in a video game. I really liked the stereotypes of Vyse and Aika.
But I TOTALLY agree with your idea of boarding enemy ships. I was thinking about that because sometimes you board the ship and sometimes you fight a ship battle. I think having the option to board a hostile ship would be great.
I hope that Sega can create a game that lives up to SOAL. They're some big shoes to fill.

Idk, I wanted something bad to happen and you know......kinda like in ff7. I wanted more plot twist. Everything is so black and white in this game. Everyone is clearly good or bad )(Except for bellena/Belleza...I know there are a few other examples but I mean a dramatical change)(
Yeah the ship battles have tons of potential. Online play would rule on this game.....dammit nintendo.......
Im not so sure sega can make a sequal that will live up to SOAL.....I feel they kinda got lucky with SOAL..

I just really think a lot of care went into SOAL. The sequal should also be at least 60 hours long. Online play would indeed be sweet. Because everyone would be air pirates so you can fight other games or build alliances. But I would hate to see the game come with a monthly online charge.
Don't be surprised if this game goes to other platforms than the Gamecube. The problem with Skies of Arcadia is both platforms it appeared on didn't seem to welcome it. SOA is more of a cult hit than anything else. Because the few people who have had the pleasure of playing through it swear by it.

Hey, that's a great website!
What's really sad is that some Gamecubers dismissed the game as a Dreamcast port. While admittedly it did have Dreamcast graphics, it's still one of the best overall games for the Gamecube. And it's unquestionably the best RPG on the Gamecube. I can't wait to see what Sega does with the series in the sequal.
The game has a cult following for a d@mn good reason. It's a great game! Turned based RPGing at its finest...

I would really like the sequal of SOA to be a Nintendo exculsive. I wonder if Nintendo will try to convince Sega of that. The problem is that the Gamecube doesn't have much in the way of traditional RPGs.
I think one of the true signs that Skies of Arcadia Legends is cult hit is that we are the only 2 VGR members that are excited about this game. Anyone who has played it surely is a fan!
I wonder though if they're going to go with a completely different story like Final Fantasy and Zelda? I also hope they don't take away the turn based battle system. Turn based RPGs are the best!

Pains me to admit this, but I hope the Skies sequel is a PS2 exclusive. I'd hate to see producer Reiko Kodama & her cohorts at Sega Overworks sweat out another incredible, unforgettable RPG only for it to be played - and bought - by the select 'hardcore' few.
The masses need to see that RPG's are not synoynmous with Final Fantasy and vice versa. Skies Or Arcadia was simply a better game than any in Square's series (even the legendary Final Fantasy III) and easily outshone the over-rated Final Fantasy (press) X (on everything)...
Of course, a multi-platform release would be just perfect...

I think the only reason it didn't get attention is that it came from the dreamcast. Otherwise I'd say it would get more attention on the Gamecube. FF takes all the attention of the PS2 anyways and that may be even coming to gamecube. I disagree, FF6 )(3 here)( and 7,9 are better then SOAL. SOAL had the potential to be the best ever if only I could have taken it seroiusly.....there's not enough tragedy in the game. Everyone is always smiling to the end...I want something to happen that will wipe that smile off of vyse's face for more then just a few seconds. Have Fina die or something jeez. The S-moves were also laughable, I think they were drunk when they designed them. They couldve been so much cooler.

I still say that Final Fantasy 3 is my favorite RPG of all time.
And I agree in that the reason Skies of Arcadia was overlooked is because it is a "Dreamcast port." Perhaps if the sequel’s graphics can stand toe to toe with the current Final Fantasy games it will be more successful.
But I rather preferred the light hearted nature of SOAL. I think most other RPGs are over dramatized. That's just my opinion though...

I actually played FF7 very briefly. I traded my N64 and games to my friend for his PSX and games for like a week. But I didn't give FF7 enough time becuase I had so many other games to play in 1 week!
FF7 did seem pretty bad @$$ though.

I like the story....a lot. The character's are nice also, Character development is good also and it goes on and on and on. Its all depends on your taste. FF7 has the perfect villian in any RPG and to me that matters almost as much as the main character himself. Then when you play on in the game there are plot changes and such...the mystery of the game sets it ahead of all other RPG's in my opinion.

Many people swear by FF7. I agree that the super villian must be a bad @$$ too.
I guess I see what you're saying about SOAL. The characters are always happy no matter what. Even while Vyse was stranded on Cresant Isle he seemed unusually chipper.

Oh my gosh, I couldn't let this go by without commenting. The thing that made Eternal Arcadia so F#%$&*#$ [editing mine] great was that it DIDN'T have emotional, angsty characters. Yes, FFVII is a very nice game, but am I the only one who got tired of Cloud "Here comes another angry scene" Strife? What is so refreshing is that the characters *don't* change. Vyse keeps his optimism intact through the whole thing, and as such is a very fitting role model for his whole crew. It's a much more honest game that way: how many of us would really want to keep following a guy with a chip on his shoulder larger than the already ridiculously huge sword he also carries? Wouldn't we rather be more inspired by someone who obviously feels very strongly about his cause but also knows how to keep his spirits up and inspire others to do the same? My absolutely favorite scene is on Crescent Isle, right before the big battle when Vyse comforts the girls in his life. THAT is how you spell endearing, that is why the game remains one of the top three of my all-time favorites, if not actually at the top of the list.

My favorite scene is:
-----highlight below for Skies of Arcadia Spoiler-----
When Gilder saves Vyse and goes to Nasrad coincidentally getting a hotel room right next to Fina and Aika. It was so funny watching Gilder trying to hit on Fina and Aika while Vyse was totally clueless that they were right there!

I'm guessing in or around that amount of time. Sega is, or was, dying. The only thing that's saving them are the Sonic games.
Another thing that didn't make SOAL popular at first was because the Dreamcast was having problems keeping their sales up to the PS2. At the time, Dreamcasts' graphics revialed that of the PS2 but the only thing that that console had better was the fact that it could play DVDs. If it didn't then the competetion would have been fierce for the longest time.
But I am glad that they are taking their time on this project, that means they are working hard to put everything together the way it should be.
I'm thinking the game itself might be centered around the Black Moon. Black moon crystals means Black Moon right? The people living under that moon could have been morally degraded or something so they got banished to the farthest regions of the earth so no one could see or hear from them ever again. I like the other ideas you guys came up with better so I think I might trash mine. <_< >_>

That would be awesome if it was. Maybe arcadia is outside of the black moon. Like the black moon is the planet. So when they went down to the planet it was actually going to the black moon. Maybe the black moon generates such intense winds that none can get close to it or live on it. But the skies of arcadia are so far above the black moon that they are partially calm. And the other moon's can shine down on arcadia since its at the top. So theres light and such. Also, the fact that its on top probably is what allows life. Since there was trees under the green moon. Desert in red. Mountains and such under yellow. Water under blue. Ice under purple. and as for silver, well, there was technology. Who knows? Maybe the black moon also does something special besides just making it dark. Maybe there could be some sort of lifeform down on the planet that no one knows about?I Sounds awesome to me. What do you all think?

So are you guys saying that this black moon is really a planet? And Arcadia is actually a moon of this black moon planet?
One thing I thought was stupid about SOAL is:
-----highlight below for spoiler-----
After sailing around the planet of Arcadia everyone got excited because they had discovered that the world was round. Yet later in the game when you go up to Fina's home it's actually some sort of space station that appears to be in orbit around Arcadia! Did anyone else see the contridiction in the story or am I just thinking too much?

hmmm.... dun't remember a black moon, but I was thinking the plot may be around the solutions to the planets problems like the dark rift and the vortex and how to get back on the ground. It would be pretty cool if there was a prequel, the beginning to the dissappearance of the land.

I didn't find that stupid, more hillarious than anything.
Spoilers I guess, highlight:
At first I was thinking, 'They don't know the world was round? o.O;' Then when the "You have discovered such and such" appeared me and my friend just started cracking up.
It does appear contridicting in a way, but no one knew it was orbiting around the planet to begin with. And Fina could have just not paid attention when she was landing, therefore being equally exicted. Of course then there is the fact that she could have just been happy for her friends just now finding out about it.
I don't know, I think I'm just starting to confuse myself. -_-;

Yeah, I know, I'm reviving a really old thread. Big deal. I need to post.
1) Well, about the Silver Sanctum (was that it?) orbiting Arcadia without knowing it was round, I give you three examples: a) We found out the world was round before we knew that Fina was from that big shiny thing orbiting Arcadia, so it would have ruined things. b) It wasn't necessarily orbiting. It was hovering exactly over the same spot, so they could only see so much of Arcadia. one side. It was flat for all they could tell. c) Look into our own past. People saw that the Moon was orbiting the Earth, but never thought that it was round.
2) As for an over-dramatized RPG, try Grandia II. I loved that game, I really did, but they overdid it.
3) Special Moves...I actually liked most of them...like Gilder's Gunslinger (he really reminded me of someone, but I dunno who...), and Vice's Pirate's Wrath.
4) Okay, I need to know: Has anybody heard any info about this? I'm dying for the sequal. I'd kill for it right now, including sequals to Dewprism/Threads of Fate, Legend of Dragoon, and a few other of my fave's.

No way! She lived up there on that space station with her people. It was up above the atmosphere cause you could see the glow of the planet like a picture of Earth from outer space. It was like a little satellite that had weird gravity, remember?
I guess the best explanation is that Fina knew all along but just didn't say anything because everyone else amused her with their ignorance.
I haven't heard anything about the Skies of Arcadia sequel either. Perhaps one of the more informed members here can comment...

And what's the chance of that? This thread is so old, I'm suprised you even replied, let alone anyone else.

The best part is that the skies of arcadia world isn't really round. You can go off the edge to the east and appear on the the west and same with north and south. Since the map is a huge square that also means to can go into one corner and appear in the corner diagonal from it. It would be geometrically impossible to make the map into a sphere.

Yeah, then how does that make Skies of Arcadia different from any other game in which you can go around the world? HMM?!?

just think about some of the discoverys in skies the ghost ship the valuan flag ship thats crashed below the clouds and all the other dicoverys those all and more could play small roles in the prequel dont you ever wonder what it would be like so much could go into that explaning the war how it heats up then explaining the aftermath. the plot will be like how nazar is trying to combat valua from there expansion across arcadia it will take place when the wall that protects valua is in the final stages of development Enrique's mother who at the time is very disterbed about what her husband is doing an disides after much praying and thinking to stage a kue against her husband to save her people from the consiquences of war but after its all said and done she realizes that what she did in ordering the assasination of her husband is that it left a country without a leader a boy (enrique)without a father and a void in her heart she then takes over and she to becomes overwellmed by power the an the main character he could be from nazar an from that fact he could tie in the situation some how hopfully u can grasp the picture am trying to draw in your heads.

Don't you ever wonder what it would be like? So much could go into explaining the war, how it heats up, then explaining the aftermath. The plot will be like how Nazar is trying to combat Valua's expansion across Arcadia. It will take place when the wall that protects Valua is in the final stages of development.
Enrique's mother who at the time is very disturbed about what her husband is doing and decides after much thought and prayer to stage a coup against her husband to save her people from the consequences of war. But after it's all said and done she realizes that what she did in ordering the assassination of her husband is that it left a country without a leader, a boy (Enrique) without a father, and a void in her heart. She then takes over, and she too becomes overwhelmed by power. Then the main character--he could be from Nazar--and because of this fact, he could tie-in the situation somehow.
Hopefully you can grasp the picture I am trying to draw in your heads.
Games are fun, but unless you want to have a future flipping burgers for minimum wage, it wouldn't hurt to pay attention in class, too.

It seems like it would be hard to make a sequal to the game. The didn't really leave any questions to be awnsered when it was over. It will probably just be a completly new game with new characters and stuff.
I was thinking they could eloborate on the black moon stones found in the dark rift.
Hey guys I've been playing SOA on and off ever since I first clocked the game on its original appearance on the Dreamcast!
SOA is such a unique and original game, I don't think it should be exclusive to any platform! I think everyone should be able to enjoy a great game like this!!
To date, I haven't seen one RPG that has not only made me think but also kept me playing vigorously from hour 1 to hour 60!!... and STILL makes me want to clock it again and again. My dreamcast blew up since, and I then decided to buy a Gamecube and buy SOAL on the Gamecube for the additional content!!!
A game that captivates its audience like that should never be restricted!!!
