Radiata Stories

One of the greates adventure rpg

Strengths: Great story and good graphics

Weakness: You cant change the course of your characters.

This games comes from the people who developed for the PS1 called Threads of Fate. Which consisted in a two main characters story lines. This game fully develops the action rpg wich is very unique of this series. This game has good battle development and leveling attributes. I consider this one of the game must have if you like action rpgs.

Radiata Stories

Strengths: Fun action-battler RPG with 2 different story paths and great graphics

Weakness: Fairly linear story and environments

Radiata Stories is an often overlooked game that I think is a solid RPG for the Playstation 2. The combat is real time and the monsters are visible in the game world (no random battles). The graphics are excellent for the PS2. Part way through the game you have to choose one of 2 paths. This is a fairly clever device as it allows for a second play through with substantially different content. Yet...

Radiata Stories

Strengths: Fun RPG

Weakness: Weak battle system

Radiata Stories is a fun and entertaining RPG from Square Enix. The story is a bit short but it's fun and engaging. The graphics and music is another great point in the game. The weak part of the game is the battle system. It's basically a dumb-down version of that of the Star Ocean 3: Till the end of TIme. It is ok, but is a less challenging version.

Radiata Stories

Strengths: Fun, short RPG. Graphics.

Weakness: Just another typical RPG

Radiata Stories is another one of those typical RPG's we see nowadays... save the world, win over the princess, and listen to quirky japanese dailogue while you do it. Nonetheless, the game does play different enough from the others that it warrants a quick playthrough. Luckily, the game is fairly short, clocking in at around 20-25 hours. The battle system is stupid, but easy to understand....

Radiata Stories

Strengths: Great RPG, graphics and music.

Weakness: battle system

Radiata Stories is a decent RPG from Square-Enix. It has great graphics and music but a subpar battle system similar to Star Ocean 3. It is nothing revolutionary. However, the great story is the real gem in this game, and the tons of characters featured in it. Radiata Stories is an usual RPG. It's nothing revolutionary about it. Still, it's worth playing for the story and the nice music.

Somewhat Familiar

Strengths: beautiful graphics, lots of colorful characters

Weakness: the time system in the video game world, very simple battles

If you're looking for an epic rpg like Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest, Radiata Stories is not one. The one thing that it does have going for it is the quirky dialogue, its distinct art style, and the large world full of characters that you can recruit. While the story is cliche - save the world type - the dialogue was quite offbeat. Since it sets this mood early in the game the dialogue doesn't...

Radiata Stories

Strengths: Nice RPG, graphics, music

Weakness: battle system

This game has great graphics and music. This is one of the RPG games that fans will like. The battle system isn't that bad. Some might not like and some will like. But hardcore fans probably won't like this type of battle system. The great thing about this is that there are tons of characters. Pick this up if you can find it for cheap.

Capable rpg

Strengths: No random enemy encounters, kicking stuff, solid graphics and music

Weakness: time mechanics, jack

Being able to kick stuff is a great play mechanic in rpgs. It satisfies my dual desires of being able to interact with an otherwise static world and killing time when you are wandering around. Couple with a lack of random encounters (you initiate battles) and Radiata has a great foundation for my personal tastes. Unfortunately the story is rather forgettable and I never got attached to jack. It...

Radiata Stories

Strengths: fun, lots of characters to recruit, choice of paths

Weakness: dumbed down Star Ocean 3 battle system

Radiata Stories features a dumbed down version of SO3's battle system. However, it works pretty well, but takes some challenge out of the game. The game has an overworld where all the characters follow routines depending on the time, and you can recruit pretty much all the characters. The best part of the game is you can choose your path, however, I wish that there was one path that was clearly...

Great fun RPG play

Strengths: Really funny, engaging story, great environments

Weakness: Battle system a little too simple, nothing is revolutionary

Radiata stories isn't one of those RPGs out there that's meant to blow the roof off of anything. It's a little unassuming, but that's where all its charm comes from. I enjoyed this game a lot. The story was great because the game wasn't afraid to make fun of itself or games of its ilk. The graphics reflect this, as they are in a nice cartoony style. You play Jack Russell who joins the Radiata...
