Ser'eck Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 According to wikipedia it was released for dreamcast and gamecube, I've never owned/played either system. So I should be exempt from being banned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOA is one of the all-time great JRPGs. It also has the (somewhat dubious) honour of being amongst the first console games to incorporate DLC (at least it was free though). It's sad that even with two bites of the cherry, it never got the airplay it deserved. The Delphinus is arguably the best "airship" in any JRPG - even more so because you don't just blow crap up in pre-rendered CG, you do it in the turn-based ship to ship battles.

Mav Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I has the GCN version for my Wii, but it is part of my only-growing backlog of games that include things like DQ8, Rogue Galaxy, Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn, SO4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser'eck Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Shouldn't have a problem finding a copy. I'll see about buying sometime. Quick question, this game (the gamecube version) will it work on my Wii? EDIT: I think Mav just answered my question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game shouldn't be that hard to find...but it will be higher priced than gamecube games (used or new) simply because it was released early in the product lifecycle and it didn't do terribly well at market. I paid $45 for a new copy a couple years ago...it'll be a lot higher now. It is definitely worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urluckyday Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 ^Right. It's not terribly priced (especially for how long the game is), but you can usually just find GC games @ around $10 w/ shipping nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser'eck Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 @urluckyday, just found a Dreamcast copy on amazon and is going for $108.50 "NEW". Good thing I'm having a yard sale soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urluckyday Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 ^wow...that's higher than I would've imagined... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser'eck Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Used is $32.98. Trying to find a reliable seller is my main concern if I'm to pay in between those prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urluckyday Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 I assume you live in the US. If so...Amazon has a used copy that they are selling direct (with their new trade-in program) so you have a guarantee, and they require the case, manual, and usable disc... http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00004WLVV/ref=sr_1_2_olp?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1274417841&sr=1-2&condition=used Try that if you're out of options on ebay... Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser'eck Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Oops, that one is for Dreamcast I will be needing Gamecube. Sorry that my previous posts were misleading. You are right I do live in the US. I found Skies of Arcadia: Legends for $24.00 used on amazon. Now that I have an idea for todays going price, I'll be putting this on my list of things to buy.
