I dunno if I am the only one who noticed, but apparently there isn't any originality left in the world of RPGs.  Almost every RPG game I have played since Okami which is more action adventure has had something to do with being a pirate, an air pirate.  It just so happens that a major city in FFXII is called arcadia, and the ships in Rogue galaxy are similar to skies of arcadia but more futuristic.  It drives me crazy that even the characters in rogue galaxy have similar outfits.  Where have all the good fantasy RPGs gone?

Since Okami? Well give them a little more time to release another truly great RPG, Okami was released less than 6 months ago.

Skies of Arcadia Legends is the GC's best RPG IMO, only Paper Mario is close.

Some of these developers stole ideas from SoA, but they haven't been able to top it :)

ToS is very overrated by the people in this forum IMO. Its a good game, but nothing fantastic.

wow, that brings back memories, but on the topic of copying games, tales basicly just took every element of a great japanese rpg, took out the 50 million long boring cut scenes and put it in a blender. So one mite argue that it is the ultimate copy cat rpg.

On another note, my 360 broke so I decided to start playig tales again and its just as addicting 2 and a half years later. 25 hours in 5 days just isn't healthy

If you want Tales of Symphonia with a deeper story, I recommend Tales of the Abyss. It damn near surpassed Symphonia in every aspect of it's execution, and to this day has one of the most memorable plots in  RPG history. You do need a  PS2 for it though so ....

In regards to the topic, I don't mind if more games have pirates in them. Pirates are cool!!! 8)
