Still has an awesome battle theme, great scenario, setting, and characters. Not to mention the battle system is still as strategic as ever and FUN.

If only the controls aged well too..oh well. That's a minor complaint, but still. The ship controls on the GC port suck.

You fucking said it, got damn I JUST WANT A BIRDS EYE VIEW JESUS FUCK!

That being said the bounty shit is neat. I have both versions just in case ;) Im about halfway through with my current play through. Luuuve it.

The direction in the game is so awesome. There's something awe inspiring about

spoiler (click to show/hide)

seeing the little jack fly through the Ixa Takan forest which is in flames towards a battle with Loco. I also like how it switches into the cabin and you can see the glow of the flames inside and the crew is just like, lets kick some fuckin ass. Fuckin Little Jack ftw. God damnit the games awesome.

Combat is slow and boring. Graphics are terrible. What's good? I couldn't even get past the 3 hour mark on the gamecube

I LOVE Skies of Arcadia

sad that a game with half recognition and lesser budget can tell a fucking great story better than Zelda: TP AND have better character developing.

I've always been pissed that Gran Turismo has better driving mechanics than Grand Theft Auto.
