    This is a B-list JRPG, but, surprisingly, a damn good one.

    Graphics are really sub-par by PS2 standards and most of the time this does look like a PS1 title. Not to mention the obviously poorly translated script, which actually unintentionally gives the game a greater sense of humor. Critique aside, it has allot of interesting systems and side activities that keep you invested throughout. While all the characters are generic tropes of the roles they are filling they are all very well flushed out with deep personalities and histories. You learn to love them all. If anything, the combat system comes across as a bit odd at first, and a little repetitive, the stronger your characters get, the more fun it become, group combos and special attacks are so satisfying to pull off.

    Overall:
    While it is VERY far from the bigger named JRPG franchises in terms of overall quality, it still is allot of fun and is good enough to compete in the big leagues. Go into this game with an open mind and so patience and you will learn to like it after just a few hours.    … Expand

    Incorporates a moving story with surprisingly addictive gameplay, while adding a dash of comedy to spruce up an otherwise sinister plot. The environment and it's great and fun i recommend

    This is one of those RPG's which never really received it's fair share of praise from the critics, yet most of the user reviews are positive.

    The graphics aren't anything special, fairly average for it's time, but there is enough dialogue and responsive options, mixed with plenty of hard battles (which are interactive rather than just point and click), combined with a decent skill and magic system. Add to this the cooking options, plenty of mini-games and a plausible enough story, and you are left with a very good although not quite perfect RPG.

    Well worth getting, especially if you can pick it up cheap enough.    … Expand

    This game rocks, if you like final fantasy this is your kind of game, and besides the battle system is the best ive ever seen.

    Great game but some parts are frustrating. Provides quite a challenge but well worth the effort.

    I absolutely loved this game. The story is very involving but is also very interesting. The battle system is great and I especially like the arts system.

    This game is great. I cant understand some of those supposedly pro reviewers. They seem to only focus and rate the game based on its graphics. Graphic is just a part of game reviews! The overall gaming experience is what you should review.

    I the game the arts are very good and its fun experimenting on them but i miss some bad guys like Songi on the first game coz i just love beating his ass but still he keeps on playing on you. One good thing i like the game is that they did not include a character that is the same as Noa on the first game coz she really is annoying!

    This was an excellent game. Improved graphics, the ability of bleeding and everything else. The only let down was the fact that just as i was getting into the game, it ended. season mode was far too short.

    I dont care what you people think, this game rocks. Just because your lack of gaming experience frustrates you, dont take it out on the game. It ruled both times, and i hope for a third! So up yours you lazy bastards.

    This game is awesome, but they look away some of the best features. I miss being able to capture enemy powers to use, changing looks with equipment, long dungeons, extremely hard bosses, original characters, and walking around on the map. I love multiple origin attacks, more characters, auctions, the casino, multiple tournaments, upgradable attacks, mission quests, nicknames, and cooking.

    The novelty of the battle system wears thin pretty quickly, and befroe you know it, you'll be wishing you could just skip fighting altogether. [Dec 2002, p.204]

    The seductive power of its plot is relatively weak and you may find yourself too overwhelmed by the absurdity of the gameplay to even care what develops in the story, but this title does in fact have a plot.

    The interesting to watch, yet boring to actually play combat engine, the absolutely horrendous voice acting, and rarely used weapon/armor/item creation system makes this an average title at best.
