Things become more complex when players realize that they are competing with other explorers for these discoveries. Find a location after some one else has discovered it and Vyse will be given less money and no credit. The more discoveries Vyse and his companions make, the better his reputation becomes amongst the people of Arcadia. Choose the more adventurous of the options and Vyse's reputation will improve. From the very beginning Skies of Arcadia features outstanding music that never overshadows the action and never fades into the background.
Every piece seems to fit the atmosphere perfectly.
What impressed me is that the music will actually change during boss battles to reflect how you are faring. If you start to kick butt, you will notice that the music has changed to indicate that. It's a cool effect and is representative of the quality of music to be found in the game. My only complaint about the sound is that they chose to use the traditional all-text method of telling the story as opposed to voice acting. The voice acting that is in the game consists of single words during text exchange or phrases uttered both during and after battles.
