I give this a 8/10 based on the battles, voice-over, graphics, and gameplay. The story itself is marvelous, about air pitates and the Empire. The battles are great and all having a SP bar on top that determines how much skills you can use in one turn, but in my opinion I think that the battles are too slow. Seeing how I am used to playing "Final Fantasy's" games, I am used to the fast-pace battles, so the battles in "Skies of Arcadia Legends" are indeed slightly slower. Also, the graphics are not perfect, I see characters with polygonize arms and chin. The voice-over is bad. Having characters saying just "eeek", "whoa" are a very annoying thing. The last thing about this game is that the controls are bad in the world map. The way in which I steer the ship can be done in a better way, such as the "R" and "L" buttons to turn and the "C" to increase and decrease. The story makes up for it though. Hail the story.
