Rumor: Sega Working on New Skies of Arcadia

EGM's Quartermann whispers that Sega is quietly working on a new Skies of Arcadia game. The sky pirate RPG first appeared on the Dreamcast, then was revamped for a GameCube release. Not very many people got to play either version, more's the pity--those ship-to-ship battles in the sky were awesome.

We've heard a lot of rumors lately, but this might be the one I most desperately want to come true.

Sega's really bringing out the big titles it seems. Good to hear.

I bought SOA for the Dreamcast years ago, but sadly, I never played it. The constant random battles really put me off. I should plug it in again and just Gameshark those annoying battles away. The presentation was great. It had a nice Zelda-ish feel to it, but still unique.

I hope to God this is true. I'm an RPG fan, and this game tops any FF game. This is what old-school RPGs are all about. Hopefully they won't ruin it though.

If they make it, I hope it has some good production values. This is not a game to rush.

Eternal Arcadia 2 eh? I think I'd prefer first seeing a random game set in a similar world or something, but as long as it comes out on Wii I'll be happy.

bought it for £3 from the bargain bin for the gamecube but i soon realised why it was there, dont get me wrong you cant go wrong with a game for £3

I think it was great. It's not as good as some other gamecube games, but I liked the story and music.
