With All Stars just a week away, now seems like the perfect time to start posting Tuesday Tunes again, focusing tunes for the characters and tracks featured in the game.
Skies of Arcadia is an upbeat game that eschews the usual heavy drama common in Japanese RPGs for optimism and a thrill for adventure. Embodying this is Vyse, a young idealistic air pirate who wants explore the world and do things no one else has ever done before. The above track is the perfect theme for the character, embodying Vyse’s energy and optimism.
I’ve got Fina’s character theme below the fold for another dose of Skies of Arcadia auditory glory!

You’ve been doing this tuesday tunes for a while now. I can’t help but feel your picks are always too obvious. You do this almost every time whether it is the sonic franchise or any other one from SEGA. I’m like, these games are so vast and full of great(er) tunes.
I guess it’s a matter of opinion but if you wanna make the tuesday tunes have its merits, try to share things that are either mindblowingly beautiful (which skies of arcadia is full of), or something that people have not heard or heard too little.
Take this as you will, hopefully you’ll apreciate it. Just speaking my mind because the tuesday tunes section has been the weakest in my opinion, untill kori maru posted that amazing daytona track the other week.
That’s probably because I tend to only post what I’m familiar with…and what I can find on YouTube. If you got anything like that you’re welcome to send to me over PM. Through just one song I could probably find a load of other stuff to feature here that fits what you’d like to see.
Thanks for the reply Nuckles. Glad you didn’t take it the wrong way. Nonetheless these are great SOA tracks.
I’ll defenitly pm you if something comes up in my mind. Saturn franchises defenitly need more love as well (IE, Shining force 3, Panzer sagas, astal and whatever)
Was checking back here to look at the list again. It occurs to me. I actually had a whole month devoted to Panzer Dragoon XD. Won’t be going back to that one in a little while. Astal is something I’ve been meaning to get to though.
The Intro of Vyse’s Theme remember Twinkle Park from SA1 :D…both are amazing songs
*”remind”
Fina’s theme, 2nd one, sounds so dreamy, and Dreamcastish.
Dreamcast seems to be the first console to bring this sort of ochestrated quality, and real professional piano sounds as well, not just on Skies, but Soul Calibur and Shenmue too.
