But, this state of affairs is nothing new to console vets. In fact, it's expected. It generally takes at least a year, and sometimes longer, for a new console to gain its first worthwhile RPG experience. With that in mind, the Dreamcast seems to be right on schedule. That doesn't make the wait any less painful, though.
Skies is an interesting game for a couple of reasons.
First, it's an RPG by Sega, which alone is enough to pique one's interest. Sega, believe it or not, is responsible for some of the best console RPGs ever. When the NES was toiling along with Dragon Warrior, Sega had the infinitely superior Phantasy Star. Later, the Genesis's Phantasy Star II proved to be one of the best RPG sequels ever made. Then there was Shining Force, and Phantasy Star IV, a bevy of Shining series sequels and side stories, and of course, Team Andromeda's visionary Saturn game Panzer Dragoon Saga.
