Amazon.com Review
Arcadia is a magical world in which folks float through the air on giant airships. A young and lively air pirate, named Vyse--who leads the swashbuckling Blue Rogue pirates--spends most of his time traveling from floating island to floating island. While touching down on the Valuan Empire one fateful day, Vyse and his sidekick Aika rescue a mysterious girl, named Fina, who was captured while trying to find six magic crystals that are used to summon Gigas--powerful ancient weapons. Naturally, the Valuans want the Gigas for their own malevolent political plans; Vyse, Aika, and Fina, then, set out to find the precious, scattered crystals and fight enemies (both human and nonhuman) to keep the world safe from tyranny.
Amazon.com Product Description
Imagine a world in which people live on islands, float through the air, and use masterfully engineered sky-ships to travel from place to place. Follow the adventures of the young hero Vyse as he journeys through uncharted skies to discover new continents and explore mystical ruins. Accompanied by Aika and Fina, he will wage battles against savage monsters, evil pirates, and a powerful enemy nation. Skies of Arcadia delivers a brilliantly animated cast of characters, monsters, and villains, along with astounding 3-D graphic environments and a wonderfully scripted story line.

Graphically, Skies of Arcadia is surreal and stunning. In total, there are six huge lands to explore, with many different kinds of environments--such as villages, dungeons, forests, and deserts, as well as otherworldly locations.
The turn-based combat system is effective, with more than 70 customizable weapons to use (based on different colors) and more than three-dozen magic spells (and special attacks), as indicated by the game's "spirit bar," shown on the screen. The visuals during the fight scenes might cause your jaw to fall to the ground, with its bright lights and mesmerizing colors and textures.
Skies of Arcadia is a highly addictive, gorgeous, huge, and deep RPG, and worthy of your attention. Kudos to Sega for creating a breathtaking fantasy that likely will be a mainstay in Dreamcasts, well into the spring. --Todd Mowatt
Pros:
- Awesome graphics
- Solid story
- Lots of customization
- Random battles can become tiring
