Skies of Arcadia[a] is a role-playing video game developed by
Overworks for the Dreamcast and published by Sega in 2000. Players
control Vyse, a young air pirate, and his friends as they attempt to
stop the Valuan Empire from reviving ancient weapons with the
potential to destroy the world.Skies of Arcadia uses traditional
Japanese role-playing game systems such as turn-based battles and
experience points, but puts greater focus on exploration, with the
player flying an airship in 3D space. The development team included
staff who had contributed to Panzer Dragoon, Phantasy Star, Sonic the
Hedgehog and Sakura Wars games.Skies of Arcadia was one of the
best-reviewed Dreamcast games, but underperformed commercially. After
Sega's exit from the hardware industry, it was ported to the GameCube
as Skies of Arcadia Legends in 2002.Skies of Arcadia is a role-playing
video game (RPG) with an emphasis on world exploration. Gameplay is
similar to early 3D Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest games; the player
engages enemies in turn-based battles to earn experience points,
making their characters stronger. The overworld is divided into six
regions, traversed by flying airships in 3D space; "Discoveries",
hidden locations, reward the player with extra benefits. The world map
starts out blank, and it is up to the player to chart the map through
exploration. The player may also recruit characters they encounter in
exploration, allowing them to be placed on the ship or base's staff,
adding extra benefits to exploration or battle.
