Years. I've been wanting to play this game for YEARS. Dare I say, it was at the top of my gaming bucket list, but not anymore! Skies of Arcadia, released for Sega's Dreamcast and Nintendo's GameCube blew me the heck away, and after letting it sit in order to *really* get my thoughts together, I'm ready to talk about it. You saw the title - Sega knocked it out of the park with this one, and it's a game that's had people begging for a re-release for a darn good reason. And it surprisingly had a lot of build-up, even behind the scenes, with key staff members from Phantasy Star, Sakura Wars, and Team Andromeda of Panzer Dragoon fame all coming together in order to craft an RPG to rival the all-time greats. In a way, this channel's been building up to it as well! That said, please enjoy the video. I'm so glad to have finally played this game and I hope that my video of it does the game, as well as my feelings, justice.

Lots of love to my thumbnail crew, but not enough! Show them some love yourself, pretty please:
