As a big fan of the Squaresoft RPGs, especially the Final Fantasy games, I was psyched to check Radiata Stories out. Game Informer gave it a great review, and they were absolutely right - it's a really fun, creative game that you can't help but love. Younger players and adults alike can enjoy this diverse game, especially since it gives the player tons of freedom. As another reviewer noted, it's not a super-serious RPG epic like Final Fantasy X. Rather, it is an entertaining and often funny story about a young man's coming-of-age in a beautifully realized fantasy world. The depth of this world is the real draw here. It's more about exploring, making friends, and doing things your own way than it is about following a linear storyline like Xenosaga or similar RPGs. When the story finally starts to kick in during the game's exciting second half, you get to choose one of two paths, ensuring a unique replay. By the time I reached this halfway point, I'd already been playing 30 hours - there are that many sidequests, recruitable characters, and explorable areas. The story is more interesting than it initially seems, with some subtle influences from Norse mythology and a few cool twists. Ultimately, I haven't had this much FUN with an RPG in a long time. At once lighthearted and full of depth, this game is a must for anyone who wants an original RPG experience with lots of freedom.
Great RPG! March 1, 2008

There's so many great qualities about Radiata Stories that drives me to play it over and over again savoring every moment! First of all, you have the option to 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 to avoid spoiling anything but as you get further into the game you have to 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!
Really original and fantastic so please do a good action, buy it March 6, 2008

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 and musics, sharp controls, a pleasant story, a "living" world, and 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 and have them in your party, you will always play the main charachter, Jack. Then, even if you can choose your side and finish the game twice, the main story itself is not very long. It took me about 80 hours to finish the game twice and 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 to complete everything because you'll have to do the game over and over again to add everybody in your list, have the best items, and 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 and the valkyrie profile series, you just know what you have to do now...
Almost like playing an anime... March 24, 2008

This game is pretty good and original on SQUARE-ENIX's part. Sure, the time system can get annoying, but check out all of the stuff to do. Over 100 characters to recruit, pretty good graphics, and 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 to get.
Good Game November 5, 2007

This is a very cool game. The art is gorgeous. The game play is really awsome after you really get in to the game. My only problem with it is the lack of save points, but thats just a challenge. Just play it.
