    Yeah, I mean it was a “good” game, but I don’t remember it being amazing or anything. Was this game a huge deal with people?

    Honestly, if they just used the IP to make an Open World game where you base build on your airship and upgrade/manage/craft stuff, I could see it being a hit these days.

      Yeah exactly. I remember really liking it as a kid but never finished it. Grandia II was my jrpg of choice on Dreamcast. But I’d check out a modern open world take on the Skies of Arcadia IP.

      I think it’s famous because it was first released on Dreamcast, and than released once again on GameCube, where there is not many JRPGs. Besides, the game is expensive nowadays.
