There's well over 100 of these in Legends, and they include Will 'O' Wisps, Temples, Looper nests and many other things. Then there's the Discoveries, which can be found all over the world. The more Chams you feed him, the more powerful he becomes.
In the second half of the game you can also gather crew members from around the world and equip them on your ship, and each one gives various benefits, such as better defense or a quicker ship.Īs well as all this there are several other things to keep you busy throughout the game, like finding Chams to feed Cupil (Fina's little companion that can be used as a weapon). From time to time you are offered choices, such as "Try and get behind them!" or "Come to a dead stop!", which either leave you in the ideal position to attack, or leave you wide open. There's also some special weapons such as the Harpoon Cannon and Moonstone Cannon that you can unleash from time to time, SP permitting. Then there are C! squares which mean that your enemy is off guard and now is the best time to unleash all you've got on them. You should use guard on red squares, and sometimes on yellow as well if your health is running low.
The colours along the top represent the likelihood that you will come under attack, green being safe, yellow being caution and red being danger. You have a grid where you put in your four moves all at once so you have to plan carefully when to fire your cannons, heal, use a spell, etc.
Towards the end of the game there are several ultra powerful moves that you can only do if all your characters are alive and your SP bar is full, which isn't that hard to achieve and kind of removes all the challenge from the final boss, although no one's forcing you to use the moves, are they?Īs well as the regular battles on foot there are also ship-to-ship or ship-to-gigas battles, which I thought were one of the best things about the game. All your characters use one pool of SP rather than having their own points, and using Focus will give your SP a bigger boost than simply attacking. One of the earliest moves, Cutlass Fury, uses 7 SP and it'll help a lot against the early bosses. You also have a range of special moves for you characters that you learn by finding Moonstones throughout the quest, and they each use up a different amount of SP to perform. Early in the game it's a good idea to use green weapons as much as possible to get more potent healing spells, and later when you get the silver moonstone it's advisable to use that until you get the useful Riselem spell which will Revive fallen comrades. The more you use one colour of weapon the more experience you gain in that colour and gradually you will learn the spells that go with that colour. So hitting a green enemy with a purple weapon does more damage. Green is the earth colour and has healing spells attached to it, red is fire based, purple is ice, etc. Firstly, enemies and weapons both have different colours which represent the six moonstones in the world, and each of them have their opposite.
Skies of Arcadia Legends is a traditional turn-based RPG with a few twists. Is it worth it, I hear you cry? Well, hang on a minute and I'll tell you. It adds a couple of new characters and sidequests that can push the time to complete the game to 70 hours. Those who played it loved it but because the Dreamcast never acheived the success it deserved not as many people got the chance to play it, so Sega decided to release a slightly remixed version for the Gamecube. The original version of Skies of Arcadia came out quite some time ago for Sega's Dreamcast console.
