Radiata Stories (PS2) Review

Posted on February 10, 2019August 19, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

Radiata Stories is alongside Dragon Quest VIII as Square/Enix’ newest poster boy. RS was developed by Tri-Ace a team which I personally believe is the best that Square/Enix has at its disposal. Yeah Tri-Ace is the studio responsible for the great Star Ocean 3 which might be the best damn Japanese RPG in this generation….

Kingdom Hearts 2 (PS2) Review

Posted on February 10, 2019April 25, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

IS 2 BETTER THAN 1? Kingdom Hearts, what began as a weird experiment between Square and Disney, turned into a multi million dollar game that ultimately, led Nomura to be Square’s leading man, and might have driven the FF series as we knew it to oblivion. Kingdom Hearts was a commercial success and to a…

Growlanser II: The Sense of Justice (PS2) Review

Posted on February 10, 2019April 25, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

Growlanser II: The Sense of Justice is part of the newest Working Designs RPG compilation on the market, which is named Growlanser Generations. The package includes the aforementioned game, and Growlanser III: The Dual Darkness. Why Growlanser 1 wasn’t included in this compilation, is anyone’s guess. But I will not dwell into that here. Working…

Grandia III (PS2) Review

Posted on February 10, 2019April 25, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

It’s all about pedigree When faced with the decision of purchasing either Grandia III or Kingdom Hearts 2 a few weeks ago, the choice was easy and simple to make. Kingdom Hearts ( I have yet to write the review) in my book rates as an 8.5 game, which is not bad, in fact its…

Grandia II (DC/PS2) Review

Posted on February 10, 2019April 25, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

Grandia II is the sequel to the Saturn/PS1 RPG classic, Grandia. The orginal title is remembered by many as one of the best RPGs to ever grace a console. Consequently, Grandia II had some ‘Grand’ shoes to fill indeed. Fortunately, for fans of the first game, a worthy sequel it is, even if it falls…

Final Fantasy XII (PS2) Review

Posted on February 10, 2019April 25, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

THE SERIES TURNING POINT After ten entries in the longest, and greatest traditional RPG series ever (FFXI doesn’t count) I approached FFXII, the eleventh game in this series, with doubt, and even dread. No longer was the series helmed by the wise Hironobu Sakaguchi, and almost no one (Ito being an exception) who had worked…

Final Fantasy X-2 (PS2) Review

Posted on February 10, 2019April 25, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

Final Fantasy X‘s ending while excellent and very cinematic, left a lot of us wondering about Tidus’ fate. Yet, when I finished that game around two years ago, I felt that its ending had been a great one, and that as much as some people wanted a sequel, I was satisfied with FFX as it…

Final Fantasy X (PS2) Review

Posted on February 10, 2019April 25, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

Final Fantasy X is a masterpiece, in fact the game is so amazing, that calling it a ‘game’ is unfair, because Final Fantasy X is not a game, instead Final Fantasy X is an experience. The best part of Final Fantasy X is its love story; thus I’ll save the best for the last. So,…

Arc The Lad: Twilight of the Spirits (PS2) Review

Posted on January 29, 2019April 25, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

After almost four years of owning my PS2, one thing had become clear. The golden era of the RPGs had started with the release of FFVI and Chrono Trigger for SNES and had carried over into the release of Skies of Arcadia in the Dreamcast at which point the Golden Era was over. During those…
