Question: is skies of arcadia worth it?
Answer: Yes, but get the Gamecube version if you can. It has more content and the random encounter rate is more balanced. If you really really like JRPGs (I assume you do since you're here) I think Skies of Arcadia is easily worth $45. ... It's very much an old school JRPG - turn based, simple magic spells and skills.
