Where do I start, check out the faces of the femmes in the opening sequence, UGGGLY! The camera angles are poor. Then when you actually get to the fighting, the enemy attacks four times to your one, and you can't move until this little red bar counts down. I just don't understand, do these companies establish any kind of forum for feedback before they market these games. This game is flawed in the most basic of ways. Save your self some money, do not buy or rent!

Worst RPG EVER!

...The graphics and environment are barely average, the story is rote, and the combat system is easily the worst ever invented. What initially attracted me to this game before it was released was the sheer size of the environments you can explore....and the game is big, but all the vast expanse of this game serves to do is make it seem even more boring and lackluster. ...

Nothing good at all

After dying of boredom through some very bad cut scenes that I can't skip. And after playing through the battle tutorials which seemed very unfun. Then finally finding some castle where I could apparently get some weapons I pull the switch and all I see is white polygons. The game crashed, first time I've had that happen on the PS2.

I did only pay the reduced $ cost but still hardly worth it, I wasted 30 minutes of my life watching bad cutscenes to only have that wasted by a faulty game. Now if I could skip those boring cutscenes I might turn this on again...

Don't buy it, I was really looking forward to a new RPG when I got this but was let down. I would give it zero stars if I could.

A very bad battle system

The most annoying part of this game is the battle system, its absurd, it doesn't make sense.
When you swing a weapon at your enemy you have to wait way too long before you can swing it again, its stupid.
Even I could fight better than that moron in the game. You could probably bear that out with one handed weapons, but
two handed weapons need you to wait a good 5 seconds between swings
(maybe more)and when you are fighting someone it seems like forever. Graphics are average, at some points less.
And i hated that after you beat the final boss there is no conclusion,
the characters just walk off (I love a game with a good story e.g. Legaia 2).
And the point is that don't buy this game, there are better games out there with the good sides of this game.

...awful...

This is the most sorry excuse for an RPG game that I have ever played. It has awful graphics, cheesy and fake voice acting, a god-awful battle system(you die so easly in the beginning of the game), and it's got very little replay value. If you just HAVE to play this game, then a weekend rental is the way to go.

An all around impressive game

I had heard a lot of hype over this game before playing it. That usually means the game doesn't live up to the hype. Not the case here. The graphics are impressive, as is the sound. The opening movie is spectacular. The controls and gameplay are great, which makes exploring the lush environment a lot of fun. The game does well on the small details such as the sound your feet make when walking on grass vs. a path or bridge, and the inclusion of flocks of birds and meandering sheep in the 3D landscape. The controls of the game are nicely done which makes exploring easy and fun. The learning curve is fairly short. The battles are real time turn based, so strategy definetely comes into play when fighting. All in all, this one is worth picking up if you are an RPG fan.

Takes some getting used to...

... You start out with a very basic character that you can mold into the warrior you want him to be. As the game progresses three additional characters will join you on your quests and you can mold them as well. Dozens of weapon and magic skills you can choose from. Become an expert in a skill and weild that weapon or cast that spell with deadly force. That "little red bar" is your recovery time between weapon swings/spell casting and becomes less of a factor as you improve your skills (especially the "speed" skill). The graphics are so-so... but good enough. The sound is excellent and replayability is almost limitless. I'm playing for the third time trying to complete all the side quests available. ...

pretty good game

I spent 15$ on this game and think it's very worth it.The fight system is extremely creative, the 2 player mode is tons of fun and character advancement makes it all the better.I find it very annoying when you cant heal after using your weapon.offensive and defensive should be seperate.Other than that, graphics and sound are great, just dont give up.

waste of everything

A sense of accomplishment, one thats been long forgotten by society and time, is what you will be granted if you play out and beat this game. Its a history of life, taught in the most subtle of ways, and its a good challenge if you're up for it. Its the type of game that one can easily find himself getting lost in, and one that will provide you with hours of mind tantalizing fun. The graphics are pretty good, as are the views, but the best part is the weapon/magic selections that it offers. Definitely a game for a true RPG fan.
