"Skies of Arcadia doesn’t pretend to revolutionize the role-playing genre. The game is full of many common RPG trappings: random battles, elaborate dungeons, multiple playable characters. Where Skies of Arcadia shines -- and the reason it is still worshipped to this day by anyone who has played it -- is in the world it creates. The main heroes of Skies of Arcadia bubble over with personality and inhabit a world full of numerous charming characters, brightly-colored locales, and some of the most entertaining use of airships in any game that has ever featured the popular fantasy vehicles. Skies of Arcadia may be a highly polished role-playing game, but, most importantly, it has a heart." - Destructoid
