    I should probably finish the game but was horrified by the action sound effects to really get into it. Instead, I moved on to the Star Ocean series which oddly is by the same company and way more legit. If there's anything going for this game, it's the story. Everything else seemed kinda lame

    This one didn't stick with me at all, so excuse if I don't say too much about it. It just felt like a cheap version of Suikoden or Chrono Cross, and that's about all I remember about it. Plus having 10x the amount of recruit-able characters than a party can be does not appeal to me, you can't learn about them all, or even remember much about many of them, let alone get around to using all of them.

    If you manage to stay the course and get past Radiata Stories' early rough spots, you'll find an engaging adventure beneath the goofy exterior. [Sept 2005, p.54]

    I'll take a well-meaning comedy with a few mishaps over standard RPG melodrama. [Oct 2005, p.103]
