this is by far the worst rpg game in the history of rpg...flat graphics..no walking or talking to npc's..confusing storyline at best. How could Square make such a game and call it a rpg is beyond me!

Hey Square? Are you sick?

Uh, I can't believe the ever popular Squaresoft, the makers of the world loved Final Fantasy series, made a huge dud. I'm probably one of the most diehard RPG fans out there, but Unlimited Saga? This game is a disgrace! I ordered it off amazon and thankfully it did not ship properly. So I played it at my friends house.

I would first like to point out the graphics. The anime style animation is a good idea, but not here. As soon as you start up the game you will have a hard time looking at it. The graphics are all cartoon!

Moving around is another problem. You don't move! You point in what direction you want to go, and the screen changes. To me that is a whole chunk of RPG that is gone. And to move around in towns, you press X on the house you want to enter and your there.

The battles. Oh geez the battles. Interesting yet boring. You can choose up to 7 attacks to use on one turn using all your characters. You can also pick a small number of abilities. Then you are done and this spinning reel thing shows up. You stop it and attack, either kicking, punching or throwing.......thats about it. Oh, and the enemy attacks!

Next is sound. Thsi category isn't that bad. The sounds and music are wonderful. The music being very original and colorful. The voice acting is very poorly done however. There might be 3 characters on the screen and suddenly a voice pops up. You can't really tell who it is, mostly because its a cartoon and their lips don't move.

I'm always bummed to see very bad RPG's. They are a waste of money, and you don't really have fun with them. Unlimited Saga could have been great. Spice up the graphics, add a new battle system, and hire the FFX voice people and this game is golden. Sorry Square, but you've built a boat with no paddle.

Take my word for it and don't buy this game. Its not like Square to make a RPG like this. I'm just hoping Square will split up with Enix, so they make something worth buying. Don't buy this, its not worth the $... But if you happen to buy it, the only thing worth seeing is the preview for FFX-2!

Worse RPG Ever Made

With the maker name Square/Enix, would think the graphics and game play would be outstanding, but it's not! The cartoonish talk bubbles and cutout figures kills the game. I makes me think of NES, not PS2, when I played it. Don't waste your money on this game. It's not worth it.

I had the displeasure of buying this game on the first day it came out. I thought to myself Square-Enix doing a rpg, I can't go wrong. Needless to say, after playing for thirty minutes I was in a for a rude awakening. The graphics were horrible, mainly due to your characters looking more like comic strip characters with ridiculous text bubbles coming out of their mouths. When your character left a town, you weren' t actually walking--it was more like moving a chess piece across a gameboard. The combat system was just horrible, you have to spin a wheel to execute an action. The whole game looked like something they had just thrown together. I think they were aiming to do something that would be different, but it just ended up as a mess. I advise you to not waste your time with one of the worst games I have had the misfortune to purchase. So I did not think the game even warranted 1 star!

easy and short/ long

Square dropped the ball with this title. A waste of time on so many, many levels. An uninspired journey into boredom.

The combat system is... not bad. Interesting. Different, yes. If the gameplay were even remotely interesting, the combat system would push this into the highest echelon of rpg's.

Thing is, the gameplay is *horrible*. Boring, boring, boring. There's no animations worth dealing with, everything is 2 dimensional flat cutout images in a pseudo 3-dimensional world. Exploration is boring. Interaction is boring. Everything, in fact, aside from the battle system is... boring.

The battle/combat system alone isn't enough to save this game. Terrible. Don't waste your time or your money.

Goin' old school on us..

This is more or less a pen and paper RPG put into a video game, what my friend who loves the stuff told me.

I unfortunately despise those, so when I bought the game I found myself being disappointed. I have a feeling a lot of other people will despise the game as well.

The battle system is well thought out, and when I learned it was extremely fun. It is very frustrating to get use to it though, and takes a lot of patience (and deaths.)

So, if you are thinking about buying because Square made FF, DON"T!!!!!!! but if you do like the pen and paper stuff, you probably already have this.

This game sucks!

The developer of this game must wake up on the wrong side of his bed. I had no fun playing this game but frustration. It is uninspired and not motivating at all. Once I start playing this game, I turn off the system after about five minutes. I just cannot stand it!
