Favorite Feature of SoA

This seems like it could go along with the favorite moment, but it's different. What is your favorite thing in Arcadia, like a battle mechanic that just works well, or is unique or you like for some other reason. The things that come to mind to me is how you learn spells (colored weapons) and how Cupil progresses with the chams you feed him.

Also, what would you add? Hands down the one thing I'd add into SoA would be a command that makes all 4 party members attack the first enemy in the list. It makes mashing A less tedious on those random battles. Arc Rise Fantasia (a game I talked about in the Games like Arcadia forum) has a plan feature where you can decide what each of your 3 members will do and just select that plan. I only really use the first plan it starts with which is all 3 set to attack, but it can be useful, and is really customizable, and it would be great in SoA.

I'd have to say that my favorite feature, by far, was the ship battle system. Who didn't love the flying ships, and the combat system and strategies that it took?

One other feature of Skies that I'd never seen was the music in boss battles. I don't know of any other game where the music actually changes depending on how well you're doing (ie if you're losing, it plays that really dissonant, tense music, but if you're winning, it's upbeat and hopeful sounding) in the fight. It has no effect on the mechanic whatsoever, but it's kind of a cool way that the game itself "talks" to you through the music.

well Valkyria chroniles is best strategy game ever! I loved Vyse's personality in that game which lead to me getting SoA! so I guess Vyse is the best part of the game for me! but the game has many good spects!

I did enjoy the coloured magic. I thought that was epic. I was slightly disappointed that I worked and worked and worked until Aika was pretty formidable when it came to magic, and then all I could do with her with the final battles was Delta Shield.

I think I'll agree with the Ship Battles. They were pretty damn awesome.
I also liked that Vyse could make decisions for himself, so you could choose how fast he ranked up. (and you could choose how nice you were to the girls. I'm sorry, but I NEVER hug Fina.)

I loved the characters and the designs. It's just something very right about it all. Vyse was a very inspiring hero. You don't see a lot of cheery heroes anymore. They all have a horrid past, or something up their ass and it's very refreshing. I mean, Aika's parents are mentioned to have been killed, but she doesn't let it bug her. SHe mentions it once herself, Vyse mentions it, and that's the end. (although I'd have loved to known what they were like)
