Legends: Skies of Arcadia
Or, something *not* Harry Potter related!
Well, with Suiko5 coming out this week, I had to finish up Skies of Arcadia. It's a Gamecube game, so you may not care at all. In which case, feel free to leave now!
Anyway, I figured I was pretty near the end -- the big bad guy had gotten all of the magic crystals and was about to waken the ultimate weapon. (OMG, yes this is the most cliche game *ever*! At first, I was all, "Shiny airships! Whee!" Then I was all, "Haha, it's so cliche it's funny!" But by the end I was just wishing that it would get over with. Getting a copy of Tales of Destiny - an actually *fun* and *well thought out* Gamecube game probably didn't help.)
So! Anyway! Ultimate weapon about to be awakened! I started playing at 1:00, and got done, I kid you not, at 9:30! I don't want to be too spoilerish, but I doubt you care... There were four boss battles at the end, without a save point in between! I swear, by the time I finally finished, I was ready to throw the controller and call the game unfinishable! (The only one I've done that to is FF8. Ugh! I hate FF8!)
If you're desperate for an RPG for your GameCube, and you've already played Tales of Destiny, this game is cute for the most part, very long (a plus in RPGs, I think), but very very predictable. I feel no draw to replay the game to get all the characters, which should tell you a lot.
And Suikoden V Tomorrow!!!
