If we're
(maybe) not getting a
Skies of Arcadia sequel,
Wind of Nostalgia sounds like the next best thing. In fact, it sounds like the
same thing, only instead of air pirates, you're ... Londoners. Even with that not-as-cool difference, the gameplay of this RPG includes both dungeons and air battles, just like
Skies. Interestingly, though, the setting for
Wind is in the 19th century -- you don't usually associate the 1800s and air ships together, not that we're complaining.
IGN pointed out another interesting detail that has us salivating over this new IP. Not only is Matrix (think the
Final Fantasy III and
IV DS remakes) working on the project, as we knew, but also the producer is Keisuke Kikuchi of
Fatal Frame fame. asdlfjasdlkjfa -- oh excuse us there, we were just wiping drool off the keyboard.

I may be a heathen for saying this, but I hated Skies of Arcadia. The section early on where you have to sail your airship against the wind and fight (what feels like) hundreds of random fights killed the game for me.

Pfft, give it a second chance. The game is amazing. And the airship battles are fuuuuuun.
Also, Delphinus. 'Nuff said.
