The peace of the world of Radiata was broken by the sudden attack of a water dragon. In order to save the human kingdom, a renowned knight of the Royal Knights, Kean, stepped forward and defeated this dragon and brought peace back to this world, but alas, at the cost of his life.
With such a heroic father, 16-year-old "Jean Russell" aspires to follow in his footsteps and successfully joined the Royal Knights, passing his time completing tasks put forward to him. However, the gears of fate are relentlessly moving on…
A rare gem on the ps2 Tri-Ace, a company that makes awesome RPG franchises, have made this unique original IP, that is fun, funny and exciting to play. Great story pacing and action gameplay.
Fun, light hearted, and FUNNY This game will make you smile! The characters are incredibly cute and fun, and the game is not shy in letting you laugh a little.
The graphics complement the personalities you see, and while the game itself is standard rpg fare (while being able to kick anything you see to get items!) the game is definately fun to go through
Pure love! Radiata Stories is such a unique game. The graphics are really cute and the story is interesting to to mention funny! It's really interactive, you have tons of things to do, there are over a 100 character you can recruit to fight by your side. The plot once it reaches certain part can seem a bit rushed, but in my opinion it was still great and you get to choose from two "sides". Tons of great items and Jack actually wears the armor you equip him with in every single cutscene and of course when you're playing until you change it. Great overall, you won't regret buying it, it's an amazing game, buy iiiiit!!!!
Radiata Love! (Accurate and fair assesment of the Game, be warned this is kinda spoilerific, if you dont mind knowing what kinda story your getting yourself into then read ahead)
the game was developed by Tri-Ace the same people that produced Star Ocean, and Valkyrie Profile, but at times, you feel over the years the quality control department over at Square Enix is slipping, technically theirs nothing wrong with the game per say but if your going into this game expecting an epic RPG and you possess, a brain cell, you may come out disapointed
the games main character is Jack Russel, ironically named after a simular sounding dog maybe, Jacks dad was obviously a heroic knight, Jack wants to join the knights, and ends up meeting Ridley, and various other characters, long story short, we have a young would be hero in a world of goblics, orcs, you name it, trying his hardest to follow in the footness of greatness, but as with any RPGS something happens, and this is where the game changes, the game likes to subject you to vague Racist scenes between the different races, in an attempt to draw the gamer into choosing a "side" once the game reaches its climax, the climax of the story however is rather underwhelming, and cliched, the whole be with your sweetheart or go against your sweetheart that you love but will never get loved back in return
the story actually, does get intresting but it seriously lacking in any meaningful plot once the game reaches a half way point you have literally a few hours on either side and its over, i almost wish they made this into an Epic game because it could of been regarded as one of the best games currently on the playstation 2.
now the games battle system is seriously fun, its real time, you can recruit your team by doing various events of subquests or meeting them at different times of the day, yes the world still moves and changes for people as your day goes on, like for example if you want a girl you like the look of to join you and the story permits you need to forfil the requirements which could be anything from meeting her at... oh i dunno the sewer at 11pm - 4am and asking her, but, your character must sleep and rise for another day when the story goes on!
you can also, pick a fight with anyone and i mean ANYONE in the game, Jack has a kick function that when used, gets a grrrrr(plus warning) kick the same person again and its battle time, you vs ANYONE.. its funny
the game is fun, give it a try, it may not be amazing but it has a lovely dungeon extra right after you beat the game thats guarenteed to test you and up your characters level to 99 at the end, also characters like the ethereal queen, gabriel celeste or fightable, also leneth valkyrie is also recruitable in the game(you recruit characters to join you for your friends list)
friends list basically means once your friends with someone, you can call them to join you, like a shop girl can like join you and someone takes her place in the shop if you"ve made a friend in her
graphics, sound etc, all good, its a great game, its just a shame the story isnt up to par, you will like this game if you want a decent rpg to browse through which will last 20-25 hours, + 10 for the extra content
Painfully Cute The game itself has an interesting combat system that takes a bit of getting used to, and it comes out very hard in places that you would expect it to be easy. Like the beginning quest. Its graphics are smooth and easy going but the game has a almost childish cuteness running through it that was just a little much for me. I agree that some interaction or something might have helped solve this, but all and all its a good thing to find cheap, or something to borrow from a friend.
radiata stories is the best hello every1.
Radiata stories is thwe best title.Its story is also very good it is funny rpg game.Its fighting style is same as starocean and more good than that even blocking.I played this game and yet i did not completed this game but this game is becomming intresting.
thx.
Great game! This game is great! It's so great and cheap that even if you can't play this game on your PS2 you should get it anyway and just frame it and look at it every day.
FINE FINE At this game you can see: There are more wonderful RPG's in the world - not only Final Fantasy ;-) Lovely charakters, a funny story, and so on...
You make nothing wrong if you buy this game - I think you will love this game. For this cheap price you don't have a excuse to buy not this game!
A great game! This is a very fun interactive game, another masterpiece by Square-Enix
Good:
-A very fun rpg with 20+ hours of gameplay
-Loads of different areas/towns to explore and monsters to fight
-The characters in towns and other places have a daily routine, they done stay in one place
-(this is what I liked) when you equip a new armor, the main character wears the armor not only in battles but when walking around AND at cutscene, it never changes unless YOU change it, so try different armors even if t's for the look not the stats
-hmm lets see..oh yes! The story really shows the character's personalities which makes the game even more fun then it is.
Bad:
-They could have made the game a little longer, it was about 20 hours for me, but when I played Star Ocean(also by Square-Enix), It took at the least 70 hours.
-Make Jack(YES HIS NAME IS JACK NOT JEAN lol, they made a horrible typo in the game review) and Ridley be a little closer, even a hug could have made the game more interesting.
-Well, I wont give anything away but Ridley didn't like jack at first but when she got hurt and woke up afterwards, she suddenly stared getting closer to him even though he didn't do anything but say "RIDLEY", they could have made that a little better and make jack do something else to make her like him.
-I did not like the ending at all, Square-Enix could have made it a little better, no a LOT better
All in all, this is a very fun game, the downsides are really an opinion thing, but as a girl who likes games, you might agree with most of what I say. Buy it! =D
