I've loved Skies of Arcadia for a very long time. But trying to go back to it has been a pain, due to how ridiculously high the encounter rate is.
I know the Gamecube version of the game has an improved (but still high) encounter rate, as well as multiple other additions such as side-quests, etc. It seems like it'd be the definitive version of the game to play, but the OST on the GC takes a definitive hit! It's such a drastic difference at times, and Arcadia's OST is one of the best. I can't find it in my heart to replay it with the much dodgier soundtrack, nor can I confidently recommend it to others knowing what they're missing.
Is there any mod for the DC version that lowers the encounter rates (and tweaks the EXP gain to compensate)? And if not, can I request one? It seems there's mods that patch the game in PAL to 60hz, and others that fully retranslate/undub the game, so I imagine it shouldn't be too unfeasible, but idk. It'd go a long way in making a version of the game I'd be down with replaying, and recommending to others.
I'll even put a bounty of $50 on it if it doesn't exist, lol. Anything if it means the DC community can enjoy this game better.
