Radiata Stories

this game i think could have been much better if it wasn't filled with non stop lame sounds. like the kind you hear on the radio sometimes. & if the charecters weren't really lame & child like i mean your main guy is suppose 2 be the son of the greatest knight & he acts like a little girl. this game is definately targeted 4 younger audiences which is wierd why they gave it a teen rating. Also the combat was really lame, it was one button & if you hit a guy enough times you could do a power hit... yeah super exciting, but it was really boring & the whole game looks really cartoonish, like kingdom hearts... another bad game if you ask me who thought it would be could 2 put final fantasy & disney together?

the game is ok so far, though i stopped playing after a couple of days 2 play a different game i bought at the same time. as i've enjoyed the other game so much, i'll get back 2 this one after. but...like i said, its ok so far. graphics are different, not bad though. voices aren't the best, but what they have 2 say is pretty bad indeed! gameplay is ok, fighting can be frustrating at times though.

so yea, its OK so far!

This game is pretty good & original on SQUARE-ENIX's part. Sure, the time system can get annoying, but check out all of the stuff 2 do. Over 100 characters 2 recruit, pretty good graphics, & more. It also has an extremely large amount of voices done, basically every NPC has a voice.

If you want a fun RPG, this would be a good one 2 get.

Yeah, that's right, this game is really great. It's the only rpg that i did a lot of time (except maybe shining force 2 a tactical rpg on the sega megadrive). It's simple, when you got beautiful graphics & musics, sharp controls, a pleasant story, a "living" world, & a great sense of humor, you can not really complain.
But nothing in this worls is perfect so maybe even if you can gather a lot of people in your friends list & have them in your party, you will always play the main charachter, Jack. Then, even if you can choose your side & finish the game twice, the main story itself is not very long. It took me about 80 hours 2 finish the game twice & recruit Lenneth Valkyrie, a hidden character, in the optionnal dungeon. And let me tell you that i'm no god of game. But it can be about 150 hours if you want 2 complete everything because you'll have 2 do the game over & over again 2 add everybody in your list, have the best items, & more. Plus, you do not loose your leveling when you restart the game.
But i speak too much. Still, i believe radiata stories is one of the best rpg games that the ps2 had. And when you know that it had been made by the ones who did the star ocean series & the valkyrie profile series, you just know what you have 2 do now...

There's so many great qualities about Radiata Stories that drives me 2 play it over & over again savoring every moment! First of all, you have the option 2 recruit over 170 characters who each have a unique request you must fufill before they join you on your quest. I won't say much as 2 avoid spoiling anything but as you get further into the game you have 2 choose sides: the Human Side or the Non-Human Side. Whichever side you choose greatly affects what the ending will be like so choose wisely!

Radiata Stories offers real-time RPG action in a beautifully-rendered fantasy setting. In the land of Radiata, human & fairies coexist. 16-year-old Jack Russel lives in this world -- he's a poor peasant whose father was a heroic soldier. When Jack enlists in the army 2 follow in dad's footsteps, he meets a wealthy young aristocrat who seeks 2 be a knight. With is unlikely new friend at his side, Jack will find his place in the world by fighting in a terrible war that may doom their world.
