Floating continents, airships and a cheerful sky pirate named Vyse give Skies of Arcadia a tone unlike most role-playing games of its era. Overworks, the Sega team behind Sakura Wars and staffed by veterans of Phantasy Star, released it on two Dreamcast discs in 2000. Vyse and his friend Aika are Blue Rogues, pirates who only rob the wicked, and their rescue of a mysterious girl named Fina pulls them into a war with the Valuan Empire over ancient Moon Crystals.
Battles use a shared pool of Spirit Points for special moves, and weapons can be switched between colored moonstone elements during combat. Large set-piece ship battles play out as turn-based duels between airships. The world also rewards exploration: hidden Discoveries can be sold to the Sailors' Guild, and Vyse eventually builds a base and recruits a crew. Random encounters are frequent, which is the main criticism, and an expanded port called Skies of Arcadia Legends came to GameCube.
Tips for Skies of Arcadia
Use the Focus command when Spirit Points are low; it builds spirit for powerful skills on the next turn.
Sell Discoveries to the Sailors' Guild quickly, because rival explorers can claim them first.
In ship battles, look at the grid that shows which turns are dangerous and guard during them.
