I appreciate the shout-out to Skies of Arcadia but personally would rather see the game re-released on modern platforms just so more people get a chance to play it. I don't think a remake makes much sense right now in that there likely isn't enough demand. Sakura Wars, for instance, is a more popular IP from SEGA and even then they look to have changed the combat in the remake, likely to try to appeal to a wider audience.
Also, I'm a bit disappointed you didn't mention anything about the awesome airship battles! It's such a unique feature of Skies of Arcadia as well as being able to recruit the 22 different crew members and see them populate the interior and exterior of your airship. I also enjoyed flying around the overworld map making discoveries and reading about them.
