I actually liked this game, and I with the exception of a few lulls, I found it enjoyable...EXCEPT for the time thing. I didn't mind doing the days over and over again, I just had a problem keeping up with the clock in the corner. Luckily, I figured out that when you go to save, you can see the time, but it was still annoying. I rented the game and then printed out a few things to help from gamefaqs and was actually starting to get the hang of everything when I had to return. Overall, it's a good thing, it's just trying to keep track of the stupid clock.

Got a bad rap

True, I'll be the first too admit that EF has it's problems... problems that will smack you right upside the head a few times as soon as you start in fact. Example, whenever you look at a character head on, looks like they don't have a nose...okay that's not a gameplay flaw, but a graphical oddity. As to a gameplay factor, it is EXTREMELY non-linear after the first few days, so while it offers a ton of freedom to do as you please, that also means alot of chances to get lost. But still, once you getting past those inital hurdles, I think you'll found a very enjoyable story. Patience is the key in this game, and it will pay off if you can manage it.

Dont buy it a waste of money!

i love this game, but people don't seem to like it. the reason being is that they lack the motor skills to hold down multiple buttons, thus, creating a bunch of babies across the internet. if you didn't like the game because of the graphics, then you need to stick your head into a blender. because almost everyone interested in RPGs loved final fantasy seven, and we all know about the graphics. so yeah, great story, somewhat difficult (need to get a hang of it), graphics were fine, overall good buy. loved it.

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 ;).

Fun to play!

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.

When I looked at the cover, I was convinced that this is a good game. Indeed, this game delivered a solid RPG gameplay. However, as I compared it to FFX, this game was lacking. It has no characters vocal, no point of destination, and the game repeated for several times.

The graphics was not so good, which made me lost my interest in playing this game until the end. The monsters were not as unique as other RPG games.

It's really fun to play a musical instrument (a guitar). I get hooked by the mini games. Although it has a variety of songs, it only based on one song. The last song that Mouse should performed to Xelpherpolis was so difficult. The rhytm was so fast.

Seriously, this game needed some modifications before it was released to the market. I hoped Konami will remake this game^O^.

Please rent this game before you buy it. If you're satisfied, then purchased it later.
