Before you actually fight Ramirez, you have two minor conflicts with him, both which you can’t win. And yes, Ramirez is also obssessed with him. Yep, that same old fart hat Belleza wants to bone. We later find out that he joined the Valuan empire and is now Vice Captain to Lord Galcian. In the start of the game, Fina is sent out to find the Moon Crystals because a decade before they sent out Ramirez to get them. They even have the color schemes going for each other. I guess you could sort of describe Ramirez as Shadow the Hedgehog and Vyse as Sonic the Hedgehog.

Much like Vyse, Ramirez loved looking at maps, but unlike Vyse who saw the maps as places to explore Ramirez thought it made the world look smaller. Ramirez is a interesting rival to Vyse, not only was he Fina’s friend while she grew up, he actually had some stuff in common with our hero. This crushes Belleza who actually loves that bastard old man, so during the last moment in the game after he is escaping… she comes out of a nowhere and does what every sane lover would do, she suicide bombs him because she loves him (and he murdered a bunch of people, but who is counting?). In the end her superior, Galcian decides that the Valuran army should serve him and his needs, not the people they swore to protect. She is the Fourth Admiral in the Valuan Armada and mostly serves as one of the game’s excellent villians… sorta. Yeah, I’m pretty sure George Lucas wrote that last bit…Īs a character she is outstanding, she hates war and doesn’t believe in using brute force. Just like Aika she was a orphan after her father died in War and after her mother died of a ‘broken heart’. I think the reason I liked her so much is because she reminds me of Akia. I always thought Belleza was a complicated character, sure she is with the bad guys at first and uses Vyse with her charming looks to trick him into getting her a Moon Stone. It was just something about doing this that I really liked, I always wanted to have my own island and now I was a pirate, had a badass war ship with a zany crew and I had my own Island? Man, this game couldn’t get any better.

Not only that, if you have the right crew members you will be able to build and decorate the island and upgrade your ship, if you have the right about of gold. After you get your Delphinus ship, Vyse goes back to the island and makes it his base. NOW DATS SOME POWAAAA!!!! Your own IslandĪfter your ship, the Little Jack gets destroyed our hero Vyse finds himself shipwrecked on a island, after two weeks he gets rescued.

Its moon stone canon is so powerful it made a whole through The Grand Fortress, which is suppose to be some heavy duty shit, like it was nothing. Not only is the Delphinus a huge upgrade to your party, but also a big lost to the enemy, who wanted to mass produce the ship. Thankfully for the crew, Enrique leaves Valua and joins your party as a Blue Rogue and helps you on your journey to find the Moon Crystals.

Sure, its just a ship in a game, but I loved The Little Jack, it was the my first ship and I spent hours exploring and getting into annoying random battles.īut The Little Jack was a ship intended for fishing, which was modified, while the Delphinus was a legendary war ship built for the Prince of Valua, Enrique. He was just a kid that wanted to be a pirate and who the hell doesn’t want to be a pirate? Getting the DelphinusĪt first when I found out that I was going to trade my first ship, The Little Jack for the Delphinus I was a little bummed. That’s when I knew that I liked Vyse as a lead character, he wasn’t some whiny little emo kid, a stereotype lead character that most popular RPGs at the time used. He talks about all the rumors and other dangers that people use to scare kids like him from leaving the island, the whole time he talks about it with a smile on his face. This is probably one of the scenes that I most vividly recall about the game, where Vyse, Akia and Fina are just staring into the beautiful sunset.Īt this moment the game explores the character of Vyse as this outgoing kid that is searching for adventure, searching for whats on the other side of that sky.

Great games have great moments and Skies of Arcadia is full of them, so if I don’t mention a moment you loved, share it with us in the comment section. Some disliked the game due to its constant random battles but I think it more than makes it up with its charming characters, light hearted humor and sense of exploration. Regardless of what version of the game play, both are fantastic experiences. The game later got 2002 re-release in Japan and 2003 in the West on the Gamecube, which included better graphics, less random battles, extra content, and more. The game originally came out in 2000 on the SEGA Dreamcast. Hey everyone welcome to another episode of The Weekly Five, I’m your host George and today we will be talking about my favorite moment of Skies of Arcadia.
