Skies of arcadia was a great rpg, but I still havent found a game that is like Panzer Dragoon Saga.
The Story is fantastic and the Graphics pushed the limits of the Saturn. It was one of the few games to ever receive a 10 from EGM
ITs a very meloncoly story. Its basically just you and your Dragoon so there is a connection with just a lone character instead of the traditional JRPGS where you tons of characters to chose from.
My favorite parts of the game were the Boss Fights which were huge and the Music.
The only games that recently have come close to the same setting are ICO and Shadow of the Colossus.
I dont think that we will ever see a sequel to one of the best games ever made. Like someone else said it is rumored that the "offical code" of the game was lost. Smilebit is gone and Sega is not what it used to be. IMO (still my favorite though) I still remember I had to reserve the game through a Mail order company from new york because no one here where I lived was going to carry it. I got home from work and the UPS guy left a note. I drove around the neighbor hood with my girlfriend at the time (now my wife) and I tracked him down. I still have that copy in my game room. I always hope deep down inside that a company like NIS or Atlus will strike a deal with Sega and rerelease their older RPGS for the new Handhelds I mean PDS and Shining Force would be amazing on the PSP or DS. If you get lucky there was an ANIME of Panzer dragoon (i heard its terrible)but its only for VHS.
I would have to agree with a previous post that most Sports games fit your description. Other than that Im an avid game collector for 20 years and todays games are fantastic. You have the innovation of the Wii controllers. The HD graphics of the 360 and PS3 which adds so much more to the game experience. Plus you have the Nintendo DS and the PSP. These two handhelds are IMO where the creativity if really flowing. Play Bioshock and then ask if game creativity is dead. No way game story telling has changed dramatically during this generation of gaming. To me this generation is almost as exciting as the 16 bit wars generation. I have never bought more new releases. The only thing that is sorely lacking in creativity is Online gaming. I do not like matching and think this needs to change, but thats my opinion
