Honestly Sega...DON'T FUCK WITH ME ON THIS.
I wanted to experience one hit kills by myself.
If it's based on the Gamecube version I think they were nerfed. I dunno.
It was totally random and had nothing to do with the plot.
Yeah, I recall them inflicting their horror on me many times. :lol

Would love an HD update. One of the few JRPGS I sat and really played through without getting up I loved it so much. Such an unparalleled sense of scope for the time. Up there in my top 5 games, so many fond memories came out of that game because it really affected me in some areas outside of gaming, such as world-building in my personal writing.
The character themes are fantastic as well. Dat Ramirez Theme.

This is about the level of excitement I have but could not articulate quite as eloquently.
INTO MY BELLY YOU GO NOW, is what I was going to say.

I remember trying to get this on Dreamcast back in the day but being unable to find it, so I grabbed it on Gamecube instead.
My only gameplay memories are of being constantly wiped out once all the enemies start using OHKO Silver magic, and giving up shortly thereafter.

I have no idea why this game is so popular. It was always generic to me. I couldn't get past the first hour without dying of boredom first. I had tried several times to play it so I could understand the hype, but it just wasn't happening for me.

Love this game.
Gilder was a BAWSE.
Vyse is one of my favorite RPG protagonists, because FUCK YO WHINY EMO EXISTENTIAL BULLSHIT, THAT'S WHY! I'M GONNA GET MY CREW AND SAIL AROUND THE FUCKING WORLD IN A FUCKING SKY BATTLESHIP AND KICK ASS WITH A HOT PIRATE REDHEAD CHICK ON ONE ARM AND A MAGIC MOON PRINCESS ON THE OTHER! SUCK IT, CLOUD!

I hope it's an HD remaster on the level of Sony's, but it's Sega so probably not. Anyway make it a port of the GC version with the reduced encounter rate, and while you are at it do something to speed up the slow as shit ship battles.
A lot of the greatesr RPGs do start slow though... (Persona 4, Suikoden 6, etc)

It's pretty sad that we're excited about a port instead of a sequel.

This and Chrono Trigger are the greatest RPGs I have ever played. I probably would say Chrono Trigger is the better game, but SOA holds a very VERY special place in my heart, and even had a hand in the creation of my handle (which I created a long time ago). I cant think of a game that has since captured the feeling of exploring quite like SOA did.
I gave up on this pipe-dream a long longgggg time ago. So many days spent searching the gamefaq boards, hoping the long rumored sequel would finally become real. :/

Nothing beats flying through the air and seeing something kinda weird at the corner of the screen and turning to see it and being like, WTF IS THAT THING HOLY SHIT RUN OR FIGHT? RUN?! OR FIGHT!?
the answer is always fight

There was a report that JSR was supposed to be an example of what to expect from Sega's digital re-releases in the future. It's on track to being one of the best HD remasters.

Sega can just have all my money at this point. It wouldn't be too surprising if they put it up considering they put Vyse in ASR this time around.
Still have a DC version and a GCN version, but will probably (most likely) give this a purchase.

I enjoyed the game the first time through on Dreamcast, but I honestly don't know if I could play it again as it was a very slow burn through the game - meaning I remember the battles being slow, the encounter rate being high, and even moving around the world being slow. I think they need to tweak some of these things in any HD release (though I have no idea what was changed for the GC release).
