Should I get Skies of Arcadia for DC or GCN?

[BoringSupreez]

I have both systems, and I want the game, but I don't know which version I should get. The GCN version is somewhat more expensive, so unless it's the better version, I'm just going to get the DC version.

The DC version hands down, as while the GCN port was enhanced slightly the timings on attacks were screwed up and several more bugs were added.

If you still want to go for the GCN version though here's the GS link just put in your zip to find the nearest place:

I would recommend the Dreamcast version...

The Gamecube version is more complete in terms of content. However, the DC version seems to have a higher encounter rate, which can be annoying. It is also said to have slightly better quality music. The GC version has a lot of extra gameplay content though include some really hard optional fights. I never played the DC version, but thoroughly enjoyed the Gamecube one and never encountered any bugs or problems with attacks, but that's just based on my experience. Here's some more info:

Scroll down a bit and there are two paragraphs discussing the differences between both versions

Dreamcast version. Runs a lot better, and has a more nostalgic feeling than the GCN version.

Dreamcast. I'm currently playing it on DC. and I freakin' love it. Besides DC>GCN

I played through about half of both and Ill say whichever version you can get. The Dreamcast one has a better score and a VMU minigame but the random encounters are at a silly level. The Cube version is far easier to obtain and has the extra bosses.

Lies, and also nostalgia has no merit on newcomers.

I played through both to 100% completion. The gamecube version is basically better in many ways, while the only downside is the music sounds a little rough. Go with it.

After reading that article, I think I'll go with the DC version.
