Hi, there! I'm kinda new to this community, but definitely not new to Skies of Arcadia (I used to post all the time on the SoAWorld forums back in the day as "motosada"). It's one of my favorite Dreamcast games - and GameCube games - and I still am mad that I missed the chest in the rooftop chase sequence with Marco in Valua during my first playthrough. haha

Anyway, I mostly exist in TTRPG spaces these days, and was curious if anyone would be interested in a Skies of Arcadia-inspired tabletop roleplaying game? Ever since Phantasy Star got one, I've had Skies of Arcadia rattling around in my head.

Now, to just throw it out there, this would not just be D&D 5e (or 5.5e, or 3.5e, and so-on) with a Skies of Arcadia skin over it. I'm sure there's an audience for that kind of thing, but I am not interested in making that. This would be its own system, built from the ground up to capture the spirit of Skies of Arcadia.

So... yeah. That's all. I'm just trying to see if it would even be interest in the idea from people in the community. Please let me know! Thanks! 😁

Hi !

I'm trying to do a 100% run for the first time and i'm at the endgame but i don't know why the three secrets won't appear and it's driving me crazy.

Here's everything that i've done and finished :

- 100% chests

- Moonfish quest completed

- Piastol quest completed

- All bounties done and reported

- All discoveries found and reported

- All crewmembers found

- 12 optional battleship fights done

- Fought and kill the giant monsters (Giant looper / Obispo / Roc / Raja / Alenia)

- 2500+ monsters killed

- Current title is "Vyse, king of rogues" because i ran away some battle early (didn't know that it decreased the swashbuckler rating when i started)

The only thing that i found is that giant monsters can sometimes respawn due to a bug even if you already fought them. So i checked their locations multiple times and nothing.

I even did a copy of my save and checked it on a save editor to see if something was missing and everything was good (except that you can't check giant monsters and battleships fights count).

So i'm really going crazy because i don't know what i'm missing to get the three secrets.

I would take advise if someone as an idea of what the problem is.

After 45 hours into my 100% run, I found I missed not 1, but 3 moonfish. No clue which ones I missed, I was using a 100% guide to ensure I got them all, but I must have got distracted during the run at some point and now I'm sad.

EDIT 1: Found 1, Moonstone mountain!

EDIT 2: Second found, Maramba docks!

Edit 3: Third found, Temple of Pyrynn! Now I just have to turn them in and verify that was all I missed!

Edit 4, the final edit: confirmed only missing those 3, now to sleep and mentally prepare myself for the Piastol fight!

Is there an ongoing decompilation project?

After a quick search, I couldn't come to a conclusion.

I think it would be neat.

I forgot what the ice place is called, but what ever happened to the people that lived there? I'm currently going through that area and even in the game so far no one in the crew knows what happened to them.

Currently playing the game for my YouTube channel and then BAM! Surfing the net lead me to here. I used to play this a lot when I was a kid. One thing that I never understood was why are all the land masses floating and what caused the Black Moon to dissappear? Lots of gaps in my memory and I have a hard time putting lore bits together in the game.

This is where photoshop shenanigans can get you. I have to admit, I use her as healer between battles as well.
