Love that game. I still haven't beaten it, but I believe I played around 30 hours of it a ways back. The whole "sky pirates" motif is so incredibly up my alley, it ain't even funny. And the sequence where you get stranded on a deserted island is just classic for me.
I will say the random battles are a drag though. I usually have no problem with random battles, but good god, they were probably more frequent in Skies than in anything else I've played. That's how I remember it at least. I also seem to remember the battle intros feeling like they were way too long, so even when you get into fights with the weakest of enemies, it's still irritating because of how long it all takes to get through, over and over.
Either way, need to finish that one day.
