Nostalgia Fantasy Forum

Hey guys and gals, FC here. If you played Skies of Arcadia Legends and visit GameFAQs you've probably seen me around. I got into Nostalgia due to it's similarities to Skies. I'm 24, live in Delaware, play numerous games when I have time or watch anime. Many favorite games and anime as well. I have 2 more S rank Quests, Hanging Gardens and 2 more ultimate airship weapons to get. Just got 4 Sage's Stones today Don't know if I'll crazy stat max or not due to difficulty of getting Spirit Shards. Favorite character is Melody though her power progressively and unfortunately goes down due to high MDP enemies.

If anyone has any (Skies or Nostalgia or whatever) questions, feel free to ask as I tend to not leave out any details.

Hey! I'm Nina. Welcome to the forums! We could use the activity. x3

I don't play Skies of Arcadia (but I sure do play Nostalgia! xD). Would your recommend it?

Without a doubt, yes. Yes so much. Skies laid the foundation, IMO, for both FFXII's plot and Nostalgia style itself. There are some key differences that are to Skies advantage.

1. Skills don't cost MP but rather Spirit/SP.
2. All magic is learnable by everyone and only costs 1 MP but varies amounts of SP.
3. SP replenishes every battle and every turn so you can fight pretty much however you want.
4. There are no battle ranks and drop items are harder to obtain. Some are extremely worth it.
5. Everyone's weapons can eventually be changeable to any 1 of 6 colors which determines magic growth and attack damage vs. enemy colors defense.
6. There are discoveries like world treasure, airship battles although not random ones, dungeons with treasure and someone who tells you rate of treasure discovery.

Both games are extremely good. I've mastered Skies on Gamecube to the point of writing a perfect playthrough board faq and heavily assisted making an faq because of it. Nostalgia I'm getting near the end and I'm trying to not use Dead Shot on everything in sight.

If you have a GameCube, pick up Skies of Arcadia Legends. You won't regret it.

Hello, welcome to The Nostalgia Fantasy Forum.
It hasn't been too active lately, but I hope you enjoy your stay. ^w^

Ooh, repleneshing SP. Interesting.
Is it on the DS? I haven't seen any GameCube games lately, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to get it, but I'll be on the lookout.

I don't have any videos of regular battles but I'm sure you can find some if you look. This is my video with maxed out attack stats during an airship battles resulting in nearly 200K damage. The difference between Skies and Nostalgia is that your attack is added to your main cannons and S Cannon. This can result in overkilling an enemy ship by over 4 times in one attack round. The enemy airship that I fought only had 40-45 thousand health IIRC.

The game is unfortunately not for the DS but is for GameCube and Dreamcast if you have one. You can also play it on the Wii if you have that. Anyone who has played Nostalgia should play and enjoy Skies.
