Skies of Arcadia/Fridge

Fridge Brilliance

• I've always liked Skies of Arcadia, and I've found Galcian specifically a pretty cool villain since my first playthrough, but something I noticed years after first playing the game really underscored his villainy. Skies is pretty subtle about ingame religion, but if you look it's clear that most of the Arcadian cultures worship the Moons. So what does Galcian do? He bends the Moons to his will with an ancient superweapon. He subjugates what the people see as gods. Galcian is now definitely one of my favourite villains. -Sparky Lurkdragon
  • Also, the music in the Dark Rift and the Vortex doesn't appear on the soundtrack. The Dark Rift looks strange, people are afraid to enter it, and there are no (save Vyse and crew) survivors. The Vortex is buried where pressure should kill anyone who dares go near. So maybe whoever heard the music was not meant to live?
• All of the Gigas have a number motif associated with their color's number. Recumen has four heads, Grendel has one eye, Bluheim has three tails, Yeligar has four arms and a head to make five, and Zelos winds up looking like a hexagon, then gains six claws. But what about Plergoth? Sure, the setting for the Moon Crystal had two dots, but that seems a bit of a cop-out. But it also has two names, Plergoth and Rhaknam!
