This game started off quite well. But it has flaws that just detracts from the game so much. A serious lack in the ease of finding the plot. After a while it can be tricky to have any idea what the character is meant to be doing. Alot of rpg's spoon feed the plot. This ones becomes so hidden that you are left wondering what is the point. The graphics are ok, but the repetative use of graphics makes the game not only harder to navigate but also visually dull. It just lacks deapth and interest. Interesting characters like rummy just are not in it enough. There are better rpg's out there and there will be better ones for the PS2 coming.

How Cool!!!!!!

This game is overly brilliant in all area's: Graphics, Gameplay, Battle System, and Music. The most enjoyable game for the PS2 yet! You play as a young musician who has been hired to play at a wedding on the island of Pandule. Although when you arrive, you unravel a time consuming secret.

The graphics in this game aren't stunning, but enough for a solid game. The background art is awsome, and very rich in color, and lush with shadings. Brilliant!!

Gameplay is so smooth, and angles of view are in your permanent control. The controls are so easy that it hardly takes any time to master. Hold 1 button down to run, 1 to talk, and 1 to open you menu, its that easy. There are a variety of different ways to use the controls, minigames, negotiation, free-roaming, battle, and more!!

Battle System is described in just 2 words, real, time. You must be a quick thinker to master this system, but I'll tell you that this is the most up to date method around. You must be fast to choose your next ttack or your opponent will attack before you. You can use, magic spells, skills, and other tactical manuvers to win the fight. Your characters can also learn from eachother by using different magic. Cool huh?!

The thing that just blew me away was the music in the game, it never gets old, and there's always a new tune to play. Expand your horizans even more by playing your own guitar and playing plenty of songs, for many people. Its just incredible.

Last but not least is game length and flexibility. This game is so long, so fun, so exploritive, that it takes a long time to navigate it all. 49 different map pieces are scattered around the world, each waiting for you to find and explore them. A wide range of 10 party members to choose from, and us different ones at any different time in the game, its incredible!! Each character has a different strength he or she excells at. But this game isn't all fun'n'games, this is a hard core RPG that can get frustrating at times, but can always be resolved.
All in all this game will have unlimitted replay value and awsome fun for anyone interested in RPG's! This game is a must buy for the PS2, and if you don't buy it, your missing out on 1 heck f a game!!

This game completely rules for the RPGer in need of a little fun. Past few nights since I have had it. I couldnt help but stay up until 2 a clock in the morning playing, then get up at 6 it is cool like that. Playing the guitar is hard at first but it gets fun as you practice. Music is great, girls are hot (for videogame chicks), game play is exciting, takes about 15 mins before your first battle, but after that you will be having all sorts of fun. Great story and all. One of my fav PS2 games.

Confusing so far (haven't finished it yet)

I got Ephemeral Fantasia from Hollywood Video, played it, then bought it. I played it, but then got so totally confused and stopped playing. I've started up again and am starting to get the hang of it. I have to say though, it's very difficult. I suggest you look up a walkthrough on the internet. It'll take you a while. But I LOVE the fact that you can save wherever you want to. That's a MAJOR MAJOR plus. And the 'guitar-playing' thing is really fun. The battle system is okay, I like that you can change view angles. The monsters could be a little better... at one time you have to fight bunnies in the forest XD. So I give this a 3 for the time being. I might change it when I find out how to beat this dang thing and have more content to rate. I just wish they could've renamed this game. It's a pain to type and spell. Oh, and by the way... Xelpherpolis is a scary Sephiroth-clone. Watch out for him. He's really mean ;).

EPHEMERAL FANTASIA

This game is quite different from most rpg's i have played, trying to play the guitar on this was hard at first, but i have gotten the hang of it. the characters have more subtance than say for example NASH on lunar 1. if i have to choose between dark cloud, and this game . i'll choose dark cloud hands down. because dark cloud does not get old real fast.

... WASTED!!!

When i bought this game i thought it would have decent sound the reapetive "Music" really gave me a headace in the first 5 minutes I've played it!!! If you want this game keep in mind you'll be wasting your money!!! If you want real rpg games buy Final Fantasy games!!!

Is this game lame? Is it fun? Is it the right RPG for you?

Yes... sometimes people wonder; Is this game lame? Is it fun? Is it the right RPG for you? Well, this game here is not a ordinary RPG. Most of it is about time. If you don't get to work on time, always say you will do your chores later.... Then I suggest you do not play this game.
