What more can you ask for: great story, beautiful graphics,great summons and a lenghty quest. I recommend this RPG to every true RPG fan. Most people are just paranoic about FFX that they can not appreciate anything else or diffent than a final.....title or .......fantasy.......title 1,2,3.......1000. I have played about 100 rpg's on nintendo, super nintendo, playstation, sega dreamcast, playstation2, so I know what I am talking about. So everybody just give Sony and Atlus a chance and stop worshipping Square, after a few hours of playing Tsugunai you will dicover that the world is round and not square......

I bought this game expecting a mediocre rpg. But instead, I got much more. I got a game that balances graphics, sound, and storyline brilliantly, resulting in one of the best and most interesting RPGs for the PS2.

I highly suggest this to people who have beaten FFX and want more hard core Role Playing Action. But on top of that, I reccomend this to anyone looking for a good game. Whether RPGs are your thing or not, Tsugani will own you, from the second you turn on the game. So don't hesitate. Buy this one now.

Need a second opinion?
IGN.com gave this game an 8.4 out of 10.

This game is nothing compared to the other games out there. I highly recommend that you don't play this game. If you want something good play " The Lengend of the Dragoon" for PS1 or " Final Fantasy X" for PS2. If you play FFX you discover that the world is Great and not Terrible.

This game... is bizzare... and bad as well.

Ok, I don't know what the producers of this game were thinking when they decided to make a story about a man trapped inside a womans body. Now that's a blue ribbon winner!!! Seriously though, this game is lacking in all possible categories. DO NOT buy this game.

Original concept,great storyline and alot of fun

Tsugunai is not only truely unique in storyline but gameplay as well.In Tsugunai the player takes the role of a "hero" who has angered the goddess of light by stealing the treasure orb from a shrine.After the shrine collapses,the hero awakens to find that he is not dead,but his soul is looking down at his own body which
is in a comma.A monk being the only one who can see him relays to the hero that as a penalty for his actions he must endure a trial by making a diffrence in people's lives.How?(this is the really cool part!) by possessing the bodies of individuals who have sorrow in their hearts and solving the problem/problems that disrupt their lives.Think of that old tv show "Quantum Leap";the idea of possessing people and going through the game as a soul was enough to hook me in!

Alot of people bash this game because there is only one town, which to me doesn't really justify dismissing a well thought out,original and addicting game.There is only one town, because under this trial,the hero can't stray far from his body or his soul will be lost forever.Another thing which is really good is that the diffrent people you possess never have to level up to the acceptable point that you or former characters you have played are at!In other words,whatever level your soul is at,
the person you possess automatically inherits the same level!Say
goodbye to tedious level building in weaker characters!Also the weapons and armor that you equip the people you possess will always have them,so you don't have to worry about losing those hard to earn goodies!

The soundtrack was good,but not outstanding(except for the celtic music in the tavern...I LOVED THAT!)Although the soundtrack was simple,there was nothing annoying and i found that the music to the random battles was nicely done and strangely grew on me!The characters were all believeable and you even began to really feel for some of them esp the goudovi(a little sprite/dwarf who helps you through the quest)near the end
of the game.

To sum it up,I think you should try this game for yourself instead of listening to the negative feedbacks of people who are terrified of originality.I'm almost positive that you will enjoy this title as much as I did and wonder why it was given such bad reviews.

First RPG game I played

Tsuganai is the first RPG game I've played besides Baldur's Gate. I've always stayed away from them but I bought this one because I thought the cover art looked interesting so I didn't know what to expect. I beat the game in 4 days (in 48 hours)and I thought it was great. The beginning was excellent. So was the amulets system which I thought was very innovative though I don't have anything to compare it too. I thought the music was great, and as far as the whole game being in one town (which is isn't actually true-once you possess a character you can leave the town and go to at least 7 different places if I remember right), I thought it was cool because you get to know all of the people in the town and that makes it unlike any other game that I've played. I'm 22 hours into FFX now, and I still think that Tsuganai is great.

Not a bad RPG but definetly lacking something

The game itself is fun and interesting, and a good enough story line to hook an RPGer.

Its too long for a rental but not good enough to buy, so that leaves waiting until the price goes down to buy it, or just rent it and see how you like it.

The problems with the game are mostly that you can't really explore too much, you have to accept a mission and follow it through until the end, and then get a new mission. Theres only one town you play out of, and it get dull after a while, although some peoples responses change after some missions are accepted, but that should be standard for RPG's.

The good parts are a very interesting battle system which allows the player to block or counter attacks without special items or commands.

As I said before the storyline is interesting but the actual conversation and other written parts of the game can be dull and dry. It can make you want to drop the game and never look at it again.

Personally I got into the game mostly the first ten hours or so, before it lost its charm and just got repetitive, and any good parts of the game didn't seem so appealling anymore.

In conclusion, rent it, and see how you like it. If you like the game, wait for the price to drop, and then buy it.

I found this game had a fun plot and an interesting fighting system. A roleplaying game in which you need skill! The puzzles can range from really easy to really difficult. However, every moment of it is enjoyable. My only complaint is that the monsters could be a little bit more diverse. Still, the game is worth a shot at trying.

awful

If you've ever played the final fantacy series (ESPECIALLY the latest one) you will be very, very disappointed.
The game playes in a limited area and revolves around solving puzzles. So far so good, but the load time between scenes is horribly long and annoying. I'm a gamer and I could sit hours and play a good game, but this one puts me to sleep after an hour! Every turn you make, you enter a new scene (remember there are limited number of scenes to start with) and you'll have to stare into a black "now loading" screen for up to 7 seconds.
I don't recommend it for anyone over 12.
