  • Skies of Arcadia continues, as we break into the Valuan mine, tracking down some very useful new allies, but it's possible that we may have walked right into a trap, and two vengeful Admirals will do anything to stop me escaping...
    Skies of Arcadia is tragically completely unavailable to purchase on any currently existing store, and was also never released on PC. If you want to play it yourself, your options are the GameCube and Dreamcast versions, which were the only releases. Sorry.

    DeLoco sees you enter the mines, and traps you into following a predetermined path. And yet you manage to catch some guards by surprise. Either the guards are completely incompetent, or DeLoco didn't see fit to inform the rank and file what was happening.

    29:00 I wonder if "Stay Awhile, Stay forever" was a nod to old 8bit era game Epyx: Impossible Mission. It also had maze, and the boss said "Another visitor. Stay awhile. Stay forever " Having a clear speech was rarity on Commodore 64 games.

    (10:20) Jon... it's a surprise turn and you know you won't be attacked: why are you Defending instead of Focusing if you want to build a lot of Spirit?
    (20:25) The "instant KO" spells like Eterni are terribly unreliable for the player party, but they work GREAT for enemies, so always use Delta Shield if you encounter enemies that can use it.

    • @ShaimingLong

    • @reliantncc1864
      @reliantncc1864 21 день назад +3

      That is a FACT. Enemies get like 50% effectiveness on Eterni, but you're lucky to get 25% against regular enemies, and nothing against any enemy tough enough to make it worth trying.

  • @Nesetroll
    @Nesetroll 22 дня назад

    Is there a reason Jon is guarding rather than focusing in the ambush attacks? I guess it saves time on a guaranteed kill, but if the point is to gather spirit I'm confused. Or maybe it's just Jon being Jon and forgetting the things while he's talking about it.

    • @donovanfaust3227
      @donovanfaust3227 22 дня назад

      Well, you gain spirit points even while guarding and means he takes less damage overall, saving on items overall. While focusing allows for faster SP gain it is arguably more dangerous. Or maybe we shouldn't worry about Jon using the "best" strategies when he's making it through just fine.

    • @StarClan4evr
      @StarClan4evr 22 дня назад +4

      @@donovanfaust3227 Enemies can't attack you on ambush turns. Didn't sound like they were worried what Jon was doing was suboptimal, just sounded like they didn't know why he wasn't taking full advantage of a free turn. Guarding does nothing on a turn where you can't be hit.
      I'm guessing Jon was just saving time because he knew one Rain of Swords would be more than enough to clear the field. Having everyone focus makes you watch the animation for it.

    • @SpeakShibboleth
      @SpeakShibboleth 22 дня назад +2

      Spirit resets each battle and all he needs are the points he gets. There's no point going through the focus animation if you're not going to use the points.

    Day 104 of requesting _Age of Mythology_ (A full playthrough if possible)
    It might be a little late to ask this, but are there life jacket equivalents in this setting? Do they have safety harnesses? How many people are falling off these ships in the middle of epic battles of destiny and vengeance over the new world?

    • @hylianmarc4745
      @hylianmarc4745 22 дня назад +1

      Good questions, the answer is probably zero though. With the ships being powered with moonstones for flight, you don't need crew members on deck rowing, manning the sails, dropping anchor etc, everything can be done inside the ship. As for falling off, there's no body of water beneath, just a massive void which we all seen Alfonso's vice captain forced into in the first episode.
