By this metric, Skies of Arcadia is one of the greatest Japanese Role-Playing games ever. ThatвЂ™s why tools like Metacritic are useful in judging certain games, as a wide gamut of views are taken into account before tallying a final score. My truth is likely to be different than someone elseвЂ™s truth. Game rankings are largely a matter of opinion. Skies of Arcadia has a Rightful Claim for being the Greatest J-RPG of the New Millennium With no known plans for a Skies of Arcadia вЂremasterвЂ™, we are forced to remember the classic title for what it was nearly 21 years ago on the Dreamcast. Even Game ArtsвЂ™ Grandia II received a remaster on Switch, but Skies of Arcadia remains tied to 20-year-old machines. I find it tragical that the gameвЂ™s confinement to the Sega Dreamcast, and later to the GameCube, doomed it to oblivion.ДЄs of today, Sega has left the property behind. To me, Skies of Arcadia is every bit as good as Final Fantasy X, and consequently any of the top PlayStation 2 RPGs of the era. Skies of Arcadia is a Tragically Great JRPG Very few games looked as good as Skies of Arcadia did 20 years ago. This is particularly damning when the game in the 10 th spot of that list only sold 360,000 copies. In fact, no JRPG made it to the systemвЂ™s lifetime top ten sellers list. JRPG fans did not flock to the Dreamcast. Grandia 2 did not sell well, and Skies of Arcadia (arguably the superior game) sold even less. This fact did not bode well for the DreamcastвЂ™s JRPG prospects.

However, in 1999-2000 it was common for gamers of the era to purchase a PS2 just because they wanted to keep playing future installments of the Final Fantasy series. Square Enix has lost some influence today, as very gamers fans say: вЂњI need to get a PS5 just to play Final Fantasy XVI!вЂќ. The reality of the DreamcastвЂ™s situation was that for JRPG fans (most who probably purchased Final Fantasy VIII for their old trusty PS1, instead of a DC console) only the PlayStation 2 guaranteed their future JRPG prospects. The Dreamcast вЂ“ Squaresoft = No Choice but to buy a PlayStation 2 Final Fantasy X (and Square Enix) was a large reason why JRPG fans flocked to the PS2 (as opposed to competing systems). For JRPG fans, however, the Dreamcast was an attractive machine on the strength of two titles: Grandia II, and SegaвЂ™s own Skies of Arcadia. Still, Dreamcast adopters were mind-blown by Sonic Adventure, Soul Calibur and a few other titles that were truly вЂњnext-genвЂќ in terms of visuals when compared to previous generation gaming efforts. The Dreamcast needed to be massive sales success in order to keep struggling Sega afloat, but unfortunately, it failed in that (impossible) task.

() in the midst of late gen N64 software (which looked pretty good), and the beginnings of a massive PlayStation 2 hype campaign. The Dreamcast was a weird little system, not because there was anything wrong with it, but because it launched in the U.S. By Samuel Rivera Dreamcast, GameCube, JRPG, RPG, SEGA, Skies of Arcadia
