I don't know what it is with all the negative reviews here on this game. Yes, it's not Final Fantasy but it wasn't meant to be one. I found it to be entertaining just the same. If you go into it not expecting Final Fantasy, then you might find a good RPG in it. For RPG fans only.

Playstation's 1st RPG

Not too complicated, yet entertaining, this first foray into fantasy RPG's by Playstation was great fun without being particularly unforgiving like some other games. The main downside was the constant combats; you couldn't walk three feet without an encounter. Also, judging which of the three late stage additions to the party should be allowed to judge to 5 person roster was cumbersome. Nveer mind waiting forever to get Samson's curse lifted! Still, a pleasure all the same.

Quite easily the worst game i've played

If you like to play the most irritating games possible, then you simply must pick this one up. You spend more time running from battles than you do actually fighting them, building up your characters takes forever, and the game is not balanced at all! You will consistently encounter enemies that are too tough for you to reasonably handle, and the game is just too time consuming (in a bad way) to be any fun! About the only good thing that I can say is that the graphics were pretty good. That's it.

Utterly dismal game

This is one of the worst RPGs to be released on any platform. The story is absolutely horrible and the gameplay is beyond dismal. Avoid this one unless someone gives it to you.

Beyond the Beyond is one of the most 'classic' RPG's on the Playstation. It has poor graphics and bad character animation. For instance, every emotion in characters is expressed by a couple of white lines over the character's head. The battles are pretty fun, and gameplay is challanging. If I had to choose, I wouldn't buy it again though.

This was the first RPG for Playstation.

This game is as hard to find now as when it was first put on the store shelves. This game gave a good idea of what was to come in the future. If you have played any of the PS1 Final Fantasy games this game will not be too fun, but held those who bought it over till FF7. If you have it DO NOT SELL IT, a very rare game to have.

Fun, but not Amazing

This game was really fun to play, and the story line was decent, but overall it was far from the best I've ever played. At the time this game came out, it was pretty good because there wasn't much of a selection for Playstation RPGs. But by now, there are much better games out there.

The story line is based on the usual "Young boy goes off on an advneture to save the world." Most of it has been done before. The magic is pretty good. Most of the spells are fairly original, and the graphics that go along with them aren't too bad considering the cartoon appearence of the rest of the game.

I remember being a little annoyed by the excessive random encounters in some of the dungeons, but it's nothing I haven't dealt with before. One dungeon that stands out in my mind however comes near the end of the game, and it was by far the most nervewrackingly annoying dungeon I have ever encountered in ANY RPG (and I've played them all!). There are invisible pit traps all throughout the already long dungeon, which drop you down to the previous floor somewhere, which also has pits... Combined with the high random encounter rate, this place is an absolute pain to complete.

Most of the game is straightforward, with only a few elements of surprise. This is the kind of game I'd recommend only to a first-time RPG player. All of us RPG veterans should look elsewhere.

Its Ok.

This games is not as bad as everyone says it is. I will admit I have not played it all the way through, but I have played worse RPGs. The graphics are not great, and the storyline is a little dry and the characters dont really develop. Yes, this game lacks, but its not down right awful. Although with the release of the PS2 and all the new RPGs hitting the market, you can easily find a RPG that would be much more fun!
