Sister services, email, and search will continue to be negatively effected by the attacks. I made a thread to talk about it, if you're into networking.
I haven't done one of these in a hot minute. Why not?
What is Skies of Arcadia?
An actually really fun turn based combat RPG featuring Sky Pirates, mysterious crystals, an evil empire looking to take over the world, all the classic hallmarks of the golden age of RPGs-except, it's on the Dreamcast instead of the NES/SNES. Created by Overworks, an internal dev team in Sega, Skies of Arcadia was made during a time where everyone was trying to copy Final Fantasy 7's darker and edgier styling, without anything that made Final Fantasy 7...good? (I have my own misgivings on FF7 but that's another thread) Rather than copy the super successful FF7 and become just another RPG chasing glory, Skies of Arcadia took a lighter approach, remembering there was a massive color palette to be used, and also created a massive cast of characters, each with unique and charming personalities. If it sounds like I'm gushing, I kind of am-this game is fucking good.
Is this a full run?
Yeah. I did a run on Twitch, but that was blind and also not as good. This thread, you'll be able to use it like a snarky, unofficial walkthrough that's full of swear words. Yay!
How can I play this game?
Well, good luck getting a physical copy. Depending on platform and seller, it ranges from $80 to almost $250! Luckily, emulators are a thing. I recommend the Legends version as it adds a whole host of bonus content, and it is the one we'll be playing today.
Is there anything I should know about this game that makes it frustrating?
Well sure, nothing's perfect. I have a few issues. Hitboxes for doors and ladders are weirdly stiff, the camera just does not like to turn in narrow corridors, and the combat can be a bit slow at times-I think this has to do with the counter attack mechanic but even then, the amount of time between characters doing their actions is very noticeable. Very annoying when you have like 6 enemies on screen.
