The Other Worlds Shrine

Your place for discussion about RPGs, gaming, music, movies, anime, computers, sports, and any other stuff we care to talk about... 

  • Brand new Skies of Arcadia details, plus Nintendo set to break World Record, but wait it's not what you think!

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>First I'll go onto the Nintendo record, for the launch of Super Mario Sunshine Nintendo is hosting a strange contest. First of all they will break the World Record for largest bowl of Pasta ever, it will weigh 1.3 Metric Tons. Second they will host a a contest of people dressed up like Mario, the crowd will choose the best Mario's and then the Mario's will jump into the giant bowl of Pasta for the purpose of winning a Trip to Hawaii. That's all the details I have for now =P

Next onto Skies of Arcadia Legend, first of all, the new Characters name will be Piastar, a Bounty Hunter hired by one of the Admirals of the Imperial Armada.

Next the Story will be expanded

The Graphics have been improved and the difference is very noticable during Battle Scenes, the magic attacks particularilly. I'm unsure as to whether this includes the Animations.

Lastly, new people and enemies have been added to the game as well.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Unless Sega's Website is wrong, her name is Piastar. I also doubt that if they were going to add a new character to this particular game that they would make it a boring one.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Where's her character development going to come from? The whole story is basically just about Vyse, Aika, and Fina... it's hard to squeeze another character in.

Don't really care about graphics. The game already looks pretty enough and it's not like anyone uses spells anyway.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Also magic attacks probably include Special Attacks which most people use in every battle.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Why use spells when you can buy crystals? I use Lunar Light for healing toward the end, it's a much better deal than any of the heal lines.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Special attacks are fine the way they are... I skip them anyway since you've to use it so many times (of course I didn't find that out until a long time). Wish you can skip enemy attack animation though... Silver Eclipse takes a LONG time to finish.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Like I said above, they probably meant special attacks as well, and Special attacks are used in every battle, they're like spells that don't use up MP.</div>
