A Pirate's life for me!
Feb. 21st, 2011 07:04 pmSo, how many people here know Skies of Arcadia?
See, it's a wonderful game about Air Pirates! Well, there is also this plot about saving the world and such, but really, it's about becoming a Legend!! You fight bounties and make discoveries and go to lands and places that no one has ever seen before all while making sure everyone in the world knows your name!!
Don't tell Cloud (or Zack) but I love the game more the FF7 ^^; And I'll play it again and again and never get tired of it. Sure it's not for everyone, but for me, it's pure joy. It also has one of the few threesomes that seems to work. Vyse, Aika and Fina simply belong together! And I adore that! But....Vyse, has this affect on people of Arcadia. They seem to become obsessed with him. Other Captains will follow him. Amazons try to marry him (by force), wealthy merchants try to buy him (I'm not kidding), and even the enemy seems possessed by the idea of owning or defeating him!
It's rather amusing to watch.
And while playing through again, I noticed that one Captain in particular seemed to ALWAYS get right up in his personal space...
( So I had to draw them! )
Of course I'm sure Gilder is just using Vyse as a decoy against Clara, and Vyse knows it...but still, the thought amuses me ^^
And to be honest, I really like how this pic turned out. But I can't put my finger on what it is about it that gives me that feeling...
....
Yeah, there will probably be more art from this game at a later date. I had always been too scared in the past that I wasn't good enough to attempt it.
