I remember seeing a very old brazilian TV Show talk about it and I loved it. The next day, the little me walked to the local video game store and luckly they had it there so I purchased. I didn't understand a single thing of english at the time but I loved the game so much and also the characters. With time I could understand their motivations, everything, and that helped me learn english as well because now I'm not only fluent but am working in an US based company without any prior english class before. This game literally changed my live.
Beautifully crafted story and one of the most underrated games of all time. I grew up playing JRPGs like Final Fantasy 7, Breath of Fire, and the like. But i was too young when those games first came out to truly appreciate them, and I only played my older brother’s copies years later when he replayed them with me. Radiata Stories felt like a classic JRPG style, with a breathtaking world to explore, and it came out in my peak video game phase as a child. It will always have a special place in my heart, and I would love to see a remaster of this hidden gem. Anyone who enjoys role playing games needs to try this, especially if you enjoy character recruitment for parties. The amount of interesting and powerful characters you can get to join your adventures has truly never been matched since. It’s a 10/10 game for me.
This is one of the best games I have ever played due to various reasons. I have played it on PS2 when I was a kid and have finished it again last year on PS2 emulator. Here's some of the reasons why this game is so special.
Best NPCs: Radiata stories have raised my standards when it comes to NPCs. If you have never played a game with NPCs of Radiata Stories' level, you may find this unimportant but I'm sure playing this game would change your mind. There are more than 150 characters that you can meet, get to know and recruit to your party. Nothing procedurally generated, they all have their daily schedule and background story and in no time, you'll start memorizing their names. Each one of them are as unique as a video game character gets. It gives the game a great persistent feeling that they live not to serve your gameplay. You just live amongst them. Combat Approach: This game is not on my top list because of how good combat is, but because how creative their approach to it is. Learning new moves for each kind of weapon (swords, axes, spears, greatswords) as you play using them and composing your own attack combo with those moves within limitation that your weapon's combo point allows is an astonishing approach to give the player a sense of progress and room to tinker around for different kinds of enemies at the same time. Story: You know those games with premise of how your choices matter but they almost always connect to same results in downstream? This game has only one choice. Game doesn't warn you for it whole game until it comes, but when it comes (around halfway), rest of game becomes completely opposite of what would be if you have chosen the other option. This is a game to finish twice. Art: Definitely unique in terms of art design. Radiata city and every single toad that diverges from it will give you a new ambience yo experience. Music is written with heart. Scarlet wind is still the best score written for a game bgm to this day in my honest opinion.
This is a nice Blade video game where you keep on pulsing and frosty Wise Monicer of a warrior and warrioress whose profession is love and integritry in observing the ratio and movement of extraterrestrial life Sword
Ganz tolles Spiel. Regt zum Nachdenken an, wie wir miteinander umgehen. Sehr gute Geschichte. Es gibt einen Tag und Nacht Modus mit wechselnden Wetter. Sehr innovatives Kampfsystem. Sehr witzige Dialoge, mit wundervollem Soundtrack. Hab das original PS2 Game sogar noch. °o^"
This was an odd little game I played by chance because I loved the cover image and probably saw a nice Gamepro ad about it. Very good decision on my part. Such a beautiful story and art, one of the coziest games I've ever played, and I don't usually play those. My favorite thing about the game is all the characters and trying to recruit them. There's also a new game plus where you play the alternate plot of the other MC. I really hope it gets the remaster/remake treatment a lot of these other older games are getting. Would love to give it a swing again with new graphics.
On my 14th birthday my mom took me to the store and I was told I could pick out one game and she'll buy it for me. I didn't get new games often as a kid since my family wasn't well off, so this was special. I looked at the large wall of games and couldn't decide until I spotted an interesting cover with a boy and a girl with the title of "Radiata Stories". I had never heard of it. I saw the Square Enix logo and as a huge fan of Final Fantasy, I thought I'd give it a chance. This was the greatest gaming purchase I've ever done. I was hooked from the first few seconds of the game. The music, the characters, the visuals....everything about this game was astounding to me. I've been trying to reach the high that this game gave me ever since, but nothing comes close. I really hope Radiata Stories can be ported or remastered for modern systems. It's way too good to be locked on the PS2.
Radiata Stories is my favorite game of all time. It was the first game my family got for the ps2 and I have countless memories of my brothers and I sitting around the TV, taking turns and playing the game. We even printed out our own faq strategy guide that was well over 200 pages so we could recruit all the characters. I still have their save files on a ps2 memory card.
Played the game on my ps2 when k was even had the strategy guide! Such a unique and compelling RPG that has such a vibrant world. Also has a banger ost that deserves recognition.
This game is one of the few of its kind that has been completely lost to time and its a shame.
This game has been out for 20 years and no game after that has even captured even the similarity to this game. It's got the story, it's got the gameplay, it's got RECRUITABLE CHARACTERS ALL OVER THE GAME. No game has the immersion like this one, even Suikoden 1 2 3 which you can also recruit from that but every character is static and staying in one place, in Radiata Story, each character has their own habits and routes which makes each playthrough so different that you can never have the same roster each playthrough.
