New Skies of Arcadia.. Err Eternal Arcadia Legends News

Well, there has been some minor changes and upgrades to the port of the GCN version of the DC RPG Skies of Arcadia.

First and most minor (Or one of the most minor) of changes is the title of the game, the game is now called Eternal Arcadia Legends (In the USA most likely Skies of Arcadia Legends).

Here are some more changes courtesy of the PGC preview..

Skies of Arcadia is still on track for a GameCube launch this year in Japan. Also, the PlayStation2 version of the game has been delayed.

Sega has now announced some of the new features for the GameCube version of Skies of Arcadia. First off, the game will offer an improvement in the graphics over the Dreamcast version. Apparently, there will also be a slight overhaul to the gameplay itself, though nothing certain is known at this time. The biggest news of all is the addition of a new playable character to the game. Her name is currently unknown, but she’s a bounty hunter apparently hired to go after Vyse and the gang. She uses a large sickle as her weapon.

The Dreamcast version of Skies of Arcadia was originally going to have some sort of feature where you could buy and sell ships. There was even a crew member that increased the value of your ship. That element never made it into the final version and there is a chance that it could find its way into this new version, although right now it’s just a matter of speculation. We do know for sure that new “elements” are also being added to the game. It’s anybody’s guess as to what these “elements” are, but there’s a good chance that new discoveries and items could find their way into the world of Arcadia.

Here is a pic of the all new character..

Thew new female is said to be a bounty hunter and looks rather bad ass. I guess there may be some altered elements to the plot.

Here is the news article...

I never played the game, but I might rent it.

THIS IS THE NEWS I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!

Sweet :D

I noticed on Gamespot that I guess the PS2 version has been cancelled. They want to focus more on the 'Cube version.

Sega of Japan has announced that Skies of Arcadia has been removed from its lineup of upcoming games. The company stated that it would prefer to focus its efforts on the GameCube version of the game. Skies of Arcadia follows the adventures of the air pirate Vyse and his friend Aika as they attempt to discover why the Valua empire is pursuing a mysterious girl and her ship.

It looks like one of the first real RPGs for the GameCube will be exclusive. In Japan, Sega has announced that the PS2 version of its epic Dreamcast RPG Eternal Arcadia has been cancelled in favor of a more beefed up GameCube version. The new GameCube version will be called Eternal Arcadia Legend.

Pretty cool. I was trying to decide if I should go buy the GCN version since I already have the DC version but this changes it to a definite yes :D

The bounty hunters name is Piastol. From IGN:
