great game, i liked it a lot, would recomend to anyone that likes rpg's or is a sucker for a storyline
~Eman~
The combat is the highlight of this game I believe, as should be expected of the makers of the Star Ocean series. You have your choice from a few different weapons each having unique attacks that you earn through use. You can combine up to 5 of these standard attacks to form your combo any way you see fit. You eventually learn one power attack (Volty Attack) for each weapon. I pretty much hack and slashed my way through every battle even though you can block and counter. I found that after you had attacks that could break the enemies guard you had basically won the fight. You can also call on your partners to use their various attacks once you get to a point in the story. Finally you can change formations on the fly which allow you to surround enemies and pound them or do flanking formations and other such things. The only thing that sucks about all of this is that you gradually open these features with the story so you're forced to wait quite a while before combat gets even remotely interesting.
Combat aside, this game is basically one big distraction of collecting friends Suikoden style. The crappy part is you don't get a castle/stronghold like in Suikoden, you simply collect 100+ equally worthless allies (Because your main character is all that really matters) while you wait for something to happen in the story. This drove me completely bonkers. I was so bored sometimes in this game I would repeatedly have to sleep or leave my game running just to get the story to advance because quite frankly I didn't care to collect every character after a while. In Suikoden you felt compelled to collect everybody because every now and again they acutally did something additional for you like sell you stuff or teleport you, not the case in Radiata Stories.
In summary, this is a collection game. The story is superficial and cliche, the combat is fun but one dimensional, and everything takes a side note to making friends. It's really a shame because the game looks and sounds good but it's can be a terrible bore to play at times.
Definitely worth the money.
The game play is pretty typical. Not complicated at all. People of any age can enjoy it. My only complaint is the inability to skip cut scenes. Playing this through more than once can be annoying.
