That game rightly deserves this title.

What were the scores for the other big games, namely Panzer Dragoon? It must have been pretty close.

How comes Panzer Dragoon beat SoA:L in 2 departments, also draw in two, but score lower? (I'm talking about Visuals, Sound etc...).

I guess I don't get their rating system.

Ah well, I'm not complainin or anything, I know one of them is amazing, and the other said to be brilliant. Can't wait to try out SoA:L and see what's new, and also play PDO.

The editor's score is their personal opinion. The others are more technical reviews. They average the editor's score for a final score.

GCN will finally have a solid RPG with a good story. Too bad we won't be seeing another one until FF:CC or Tales Of Phantasia.

You don't consider PSO a solid RPG?

Well, PSO isn't that great story wise. And you need to play online to experience it's highest potential. But it's still really fun to play.

SoA.... Heh heh. I can't wait to play it... I don't think I'll buy it though.. I'll probably steal it from my friend

GameKinG · 12-30-2002, 10:04 PM

Bah, I hate rail shooters.

BreakABone · 12-31-2002, 12:46 AM

Yay for Skies of Arcadia, hopefully it finally gets the respect it deserves as one of the most balanced RPGs. I hope these additions and modifications help to make this game a true classic. I'll probably pick it up once again for GCN.
