Best roleplaying ame around, great story and great characters a definate buy for anyone up for a challenge.
My total time on this game is pushing 65 hours now and I have still not reached the end I have been playing this game for a good 4 years now and I am still not bored of it. This is because the games graphics are very good and the game play is different to any other game but in a good way, for example the battles in this game are turn based this is a good thing because it means you can think of what you are going to do next, basically you can plan ahead and use items, armour and weaponry you have collected through the game. Available to your characters is also the ability to summon beasts to protect you these creatures are powerful and look amazing every time you summon them they make a cool entrance which never gets boring. If you get this game you will need a lot of patience as in the battles you make one wrong move and it could all be over which means you have to load the save up and try again this sometimes can become frustrating but hardly ever. I am nearing the end of the game and this shows as the game now has turned into a string of boss battles one after the other, I have to say that this is now starting to push my patients a little but not enough to want to give up.
The story in this game is also one of the best as it has kept me guessing right up to the point I am at. Every time I though that I knew what was going to happen or the story calmed down a little it would jump back up adding a new twist and had me guessing again. The story is the games best part as it is one of the best and most entertaining ever to be out on the PS2
If you like role-play games then this is definitely the one for you as it is cheap to buy and is worth every penny.
