I found the Skies of Arcadia reference.

A little clue in this video (first minute)

Is it just...
Here's another fun little reference I found in Valkyria Chronicles 4. No playable Vyse and Aika, but I'll take whatever I can get:
the back of that dude's jacket?

Nice, they give a shout-out to the older novelization I linked earlier!

I always thought Zivilyn Bane was one dude, sort of like a rival that you fought a bunch of times throughout the game, but looking it up now it's apparently a group of people? My world is shattered at this revelation
Everytime I see this topic on the first page, I think it's for a sequel or a remake and my heart gets broken.

I feel you but at the same time, it allows for some semblance of awareness to stay at the forefront. We feel something will happen but just when....
That is pretty badass. I'd love to have like Vyse's cutlass with a bunch removable blades for each moonstone!
Yeah! Did you play the Legends version? You fight a bunch of them with their ringleader as a wanted battle in Soltis.
Ah, I did play Legends but I guess I never got that wanted battle. Crazy stuff.
A bit late for the 20th anniversary, but this Skies of Arcadia zine that I've worked on with many other talented artists and writers has gone live! Please check it out and spread the word :)

Trivia question for you guys. What's the airspace called where Crescent Isle and Daccat's Island are located?
Skies of Arcadia has a very good chance of being remade.

Sega should adapt the Hedgehog Engine just like they did with Sakura Wars.
SEGA survey results reveal what franchise fans want to see return

It's an official account. (But the Sega forever team is a bunch of old die Hard Sega fans... Their Twitter, fb account are filled of daily Sega trivias)
Oh, well that's... fine, I suppose. Maybe we'll see all this fanfare again in three years for Legends' 20th? Or maybe not.
It was charming, and I enjoyed it on Dreamcast, but not sure I wanna go back to 60 hours of the voiceless dialogue and battles every ten steps.
I'd love for Sega to give the game a re-release, but I doubt I'd play it after buying. (am also not the type to re-replay many games).

Sorry, i post weekly news but i didn't notice Mugen's message. (Same video)
It's all good, thanks for keeping the dream alive!
...Don't... just don't. It's not worth the pain brother.
Lol, I know it's not going to happen... I'll just plan on replaying the original instead.
The very most I could ever hope for is Vyse being the new Smash character. I'd run out and buy a Switch immediately to play him lol. Too bad it's not going to happen though :(
I mean, Sakura Wars of all things got a new release. I still have the tiniest shred of hope for a remake. Someday.
There's not a whole lot of older games I want to see on newer systems but my god i keep holding out hope that Sega hasn't forgotten about Skies of Arcadia. What a crazy underrated game.
I just dont get why they cant remaster it and at least offer it digital only. Oh, well original it is.
I'll keep hoping one day that they'll remember SoA. Don't think there's any game that I want to have a re-release/remake more. But till then, I'll just cherish my Dreamcast copy lol.
The original on Dolphin is as good as any remaster, and with fast forwarding it fixes the only real complaint that most fans have with the original (slow and plentiful random battles.)
There's also a Dolphin texture mod out there I learned about recently that looks pretty slick too. I'll post some screen caps when I have a chance. Characters and UI have never looked better.
I'd appreciate that, I didn't know about the texture pack! I just replayed this earlier in the year and might need to do it again now, lol.
No problem! Here's a direct comparison:
Some other assorted Screen Caps from the beginning of the game:
And here is info on the Texture mods themselves, including how to download and install:
Skies of Arcadia HD v0.06 (June 27, 2020) (dolphin-emu.org)
I didn't play too far since I already have an active play-thru on Dreamcast I've slowly been chewing through, but I can't wait to play the entire game again on Dolphin with the texture pack and widescreen hack!

Thanks, looks great!
Don't forget to remove the fog when you play on Dolphin, as well. There's a bit of pop-in on the overworld when you do this, but it's still much preferable to only being able to see a very short distance in front of you. And make sure to turn it back on during the fog dungeon under the ice cap, of course.
