Skies of Arcadia Get...or shall I say SoA:L has me. Or perhaps it's a mutual obsession. Alfonso loves me, and I love...err, anyone else notice Alfonso's resemblence to Richard Simmons? I'm just started, so I've only got the chance to explore the first sky area, but what I've played is EXACTLY what I have been craving for the past 10 years. I'm particularly impressed with the specials. Aika:Get away, or I'll ALPHA STORM your ass! Talk about pickup lines. :-) It's the traditional RPG that has been looking for me during the RPG dearth on N64. I can't wait to get deeper into the story, and I love the battle system already. Battle frequency seems pretty standard for an RPG, and it takes one of my favorite elements from Chrono Trigger: the efficacy of some attacks are dependent upon position of enemies/allies. For example, if all the enemies are in line with Aika, ALPHA STORM will tear them all up. Loving every moment.
