Skies of Arcadia

Decent but unexceptional JRPG notable for doing 3D sailing before Wind Waker and not much else.

I gave the GameCube version of this a shot and it was basically unplayable. No idea how this has any sort of positive reception unless it's held up by people who got it as an apology gift from dad after the divorce.

An RPG with a unique setting, a great sense of adventure, exploration and discovery. Largely light hearted and charming with a huge cast of characters and a vast array of unique NPCs. A gorgeous soundtrack really adds to the feeling of sailing the skies and exploring uncharted areas. The average battle system and ridiculously high encounter rate hold it back a little but the ship battles against colossal monsters, crew recruitment and base management help pull it back to greatness.

Harmless but mostly generic sixth-generation JRPG that rips off Castle in the Sky like it was born for it.
