I went looking for any news regarding an SoA remaster and came across this again. It looks like it takes from the anime Last Exile as well, and to be honest with a main character like that, it just screams Vyse/SoA rip off to me. Drawing inspiration from other titles is one thing, but if you feel you need to make the MC brown-haired wearing a red scarf and wearing a blue coat in an airship setting to make that point (in this case), it's clear you have no idea on how to be truly original. You can't take any masterpiece, copy paste the bits you like and then call it your own. If it wasn't stated that this draws from Skies of Arcadia, it would be blatantly obvious that it is based on the main character alone. It's a case of "tell me you've played Skies of Arcadia without telling me you've played Skies of Arcadia." Just copy the main character's colours to make sure everyone who has played SoA knows! Really? If the aim was to pay homage to SoA, and/or any other title, making it so in your face obvious puts it in borderline plagiarism territory. It's a real put off for some people, including me. Not interested. If I want to play a game like SoA (which managed to express its own identity and originality), I'll go and play SoA itself, because at least it's true to itself.
