Topic	Rate the VG Story Day 66: Skies of Acardia
plasmabeam 08/07/21 9:38:15 AM #14:	9.5/10 Like its GameCube cousin Tales of Symphonia, Skies is a familiar tale that is well told. Unlike ToS however, SoA doesn't have a fun battle system to carry it. And yet the game shines because of the story, atmosphere, and characters. The only way I can enjoy a JRPG with a dull battle system is if the storyline is strong, so I have no qualms about giving it a high score here. Things I love about SoA's story: One of the rare JRPG stories that absolutely nails its finale. Characters are charismatic, vivid, and fun. Atmosphere and worldbuilding are top-notch. I still get chills at the thought of ~~leaving Esperanza for the Dark Rift. That whole sequence of the game where you end up going after the Blue Gigas had such an adventurous feel to it~~. Skies has a sense of adventure that few other JRPGs possess. No silly/forced romantic subplots. Instead the focus is on developing friendships and loyalties. Drachma's subplot.
