Well, I've noticed that FFXII, which seems awsome, seems to be taking the premise of Skies of Arcadia.
Vyse, the main character of SOA? Vann, of FFXII. Not a big deal, just should be brought up.
The world is set in a place where "Airships are important."
Different races are prejudiced against others.
And most of all, this one really stands out, Vann wants to become an.. Air Pirate.
Just a coincidence?
