Who has their own easter eggs, Secrets, or trivia they'd like to share for Skies of Arcadia?

The CD secret is so cool. Also, Aika responding to the player snooping around was funny too,

More Skies of Arcadia content is *always* a great thing! I'm currently on another playthrough of it, and it's fun every time.

I mean it's noticeable if you're being picky. There's entire instruments and riffs in the songs that are compressed into oblivion

It's always bothered me that the GC version's audio was desynced more than it was lower quality. Pirate's Wrath is almost a full 3 seconds out of sync with the visuals. I like the GC version's extra content but I have a soft spot for the DC original, excess sky battles and all.

@Dr_Mel Ай бұрын

I'll add a couple. You can win the Recumen and Grendel gigas fights normally with a ton of patience or using cheats. The fights end the same way though with no extra rewards. The regular cutscenes simply trigger anyway.

Fina actually isn’t a recruit able character in Valkyria Chronicles. She is in the game. But only as a medic Also the Bios do Vyse and Aika heavily imply that the ones in VC and the ones in Skies of Arcadia are the same people. And as another bonus, if Vyse walks up to Aika when she’s knocked down. He’ll say “Aika Baby”

@WesDoesGames Жыл бұрын

So Vyse and Aika are the canonical pairing I guess

@LancerkingNoel Жыл бұрын

Vyse & Aika are not exactly the same, but rather a version of them if they have been born in Galia. As for them being a couple... don't remeber their after-war profile update pointing them doing the same thing. Something else on Fina is that she's one of three sister medics

Did anyone else save the Captains Stripes from the Little Jack ship Boss fights, and save them to upgrade the health of the Delphinus? Really makes the late game ship boss fights much easier.

To say the gamecube audio for the tracks is bad is an understatement. I have the original OST a long time ago and still do. The Dreamcast ones are literally superior.

@loneskankster2242 Жыл бұрын

I think Elcian is a black looper, because Galcian had something to do with the Black Moon. When you find the discovery of the Black Moonstone, it says it converts negative energy to positive, and vice versa. I'm pretty sure this is how Galcian turned Ramirez evil. Ramier even has a line about his "Sword of the Dark Moon". The Dark Moon is most likely responsible for the Dark Rift. And Galcian had ties with the Dark Moon. Hence why his Looper soul is sent there. You can fight him over and over again as well. So i guess that implies some kind of immortality. Either way: The influence of the Dark Moon is felt, but never talked about.

@WesDoesGames Жыл бұрын

Interesting theory! The dark moon stuff was always so mysterious, it feels like they were planning on expanding upon it in a sequel that never happened

@DecoytheSkeletalBoy Жыл бұрын

God, the Valkyria designs of Vyse and Aika look like they've had their souls removed... which I suppose they would feel that way, going from pirate to military dog, so that checks.

I mean they were really just added as fanservice, so think of them more as "dlc skins" lol

Incorrect on GameCube having a lower encounter rate. No idea where this rumor ever started (did Sega say this?) but recently speed runners have been testing the encounter rate plus the idea with it that rewards and exp from fights have been adjusted along with it. The first few battles you get more exp and magic points on GameCube and that’s all. The rest is exactly the same as Dreamcast. The Black Map and White Map also change the encounter rate in the exact same way as Dreamcast as well.

@michaelkramm4284 5 ай бұрын

I've beaten this game probably 4 times. Of those 4 times, I 100% completed it only once. Worth it in the end? For me, yes, but for most people, probably not lol.
