What I love more was that every equipment sword etc change how the character looked. Sowrds armor etc

i would love a remaster of the game that included these scenes

Went through so many playthroughs of this game when I was a kid to fill out the friends list. Recently decided to go back and play again. Really wish it was more successful.

I miss this game so much 😢

Yeah, I love this game. I always tell people that it's a cozy Suikoden, so maybe with that collection coming out next year, games like this will gain more traction. I would love to play this on the Nintendo Switch someday.

How do you do the special attacks on radiata stories. Please🙏. I can't remember

this game is better than ff bro, im having an absolute blast playing it

I saw the ganz, ridley, fire dragon and fort interaction am i misremembering or did i unlock the secret ending somehow?

Ill try it

I love this game I played it for years.. until my playstation 2 went kaput

I'm playing this game again this year, just got out from the castle, with Ganz drinking beer 🥲

We need this game either as a remake or remaster.

I loved this game, I wish I could play again

When I played this game, I felt the Devs Joy and passion. You can actually feel it's alive and they truly loved doing the game.

I just re beat this game about a week ago working on completing the friends list

Visions of childhood, therefore good game. Same with Rogue Galaxy

I still remember the knight at the beginning who drops a gold when you kick him. and you can kick him infinitely. guess how much time I spent with that guy

I LOVEEEE RADIATA STORIES!!! bro this game was ahead of its time

I still have this game and I have a PS2 just to play this game. I really really loved it. I still have the print out of how to get all my friends. I think someday when I'm old I'll stream this.

I loved Radiata Stories. Still have my copy and thin PS2 nearly 20 years later and have played it with my kids and man the good times just keep rolling. Great video, sir!

I remember early on kicking that one old guy or blacksmith or something, and finding out he was like level 89 and bodies you😂

Man I want to replay this so bad now

Games need to be just ended, they would just mess up a remake or what have you.

It still looking beautiful, we need a remaster HD.

Amazing review.

Radiata Stories was definitely an unappreciated gem, but Square Enix had tri-Ace develop it simply to test how well the PS2 could handle numerous functions and routines, such as the multiple characters' daily schedules. While the game was nothing more than an experiment on their part, it was still quite enjoyable, especially with all the teams you could put together among the many allies to recruit. Sadly, it left behind a lot of unresolved narrative threads and it's unlikely we'll ever see them addressed. Jack and Ridley did make appearances in both Star Ocean Anamnesis (as recruitable allies, but only in the Japanese version) as well as collectable figurines in Star Ocean: The Divine Force. Seems like Square Enix only marginally remembers Radiata Stories existed once. Some of Team Radiata's members still work today as part of their own created company, Aiming, and they released an MMO called Caravan Stories some years back. It definitely has Radiata Stories's DNA all over it, with its numerous races, lots of characters to recruit, legendary dragons, and the overall feel to the world of Iyarr. Unfortunately, the game is plagued with numerous issues that still persist to this day, but for what it's worth, it's the closest thing we have to a spiritual successor for Radiata Stories.

its 2024 and for some reason i've been thinking of this game the past few months. i dont know why but i really enjoyed this then. now im realizing i should have appreciated it more. i will definitely play it again on the emulator. but i do want this to be recognized more and digitalized. thank you for the video!!

I miss this game so much

I was developing a tcg based on Radiata but quickly clocked in that getting licensing from square enix would be too difficult and too expensive so I’m developing my own independent IP with the hopes to one day cross over with Radiata

An old friend let me borrow this game when I was in highschool. I didn't really give a shit about it when it came out but I played it anyway on a whim. It's now one of my favorite RPGs of all time. So familiar yet different in all the best ways.

Best game I have ever played! I'm huge fan of all Square Enix games but canlt help being said that Square Enix just forgot about Radiata Stories

For Radiata 2 I suggest retain the same concept and graphics but add a guild. Your skills should depend on the guild you joined. Knight guild = tank build / melee attacks Mage guild = magic spells / long range attack Healer guild = full support Assasin guild = speed crit attack You get the point

I can't even finish this game because my memory card slot is broken when i was child 😢

what a game...!! Absolutely amazing

I cringed a little bit when you didn't kick the stack of boxes to your right. 5:05

Just starting a replay. Such a simple game and yet so rich and memorable.

Thank you!!

Hidden freaking gem, as a big fan of suikoden.. Radiata really took away many hours of my life

I've played this game when it was released and I still remember it fondly. I just love the characters so much. I would love another Radiata Stories, with updated gameplay (the battles and only controlling jack was kind of annoying to me).

One of the few games I beat multiple times. The post game also was great and the fact they had so much post game content for a ps2 games was amazing

Dark Cloud 1 & 2, Musashi Samurai Legend, Threads of Destiny, Skies of Arcadia, Vagrant Story, Rogue Galaxy, Mystical Ninja 64...I wished these would get re-released!

I saw mention of this game in an unrelated thread, and what I discovered of it immediately piqued my interest. I don't usually enjoy games with as lighthearted a tone and as slow a start as this one, but the kicking mechanic, the NPC routines and the characters kept me invested through the intro section. And now that the game's opened up? I'm having a ball just running around finding characters to nab. I'd like to thank you for this video. It was after watching this concise, yet thorough review that I went from "mildly intrigued" to "actively looking to give the game a whirl." And I certainly have no regrets so far!

oh wow- i was just looking for radiata youtube videos cause ive been replaying it im doing the human side first and recruiting everyone in two playthroughs- and i stumble on this treasure trove of info- this is soo cool <3

Still waiting for a port to Steam or Playstation. 🤞

Around 10 years ago, I bought a brand new PS2 and a used copy of Radiata Stories. I had already owned both, before, but my brother sold a bunch of our video games when I was out of state. I was all hyped to start up a new game. I popped the disc into the PS2 and the familiar opening cutscene began to play. I was getting pumped when, suddenly, the game crashed and the cutscene wouldn't progress past a certain point. I tried restarting again and again to no avail. It was truly one of the saddest moments of my life 😭

I played quite a bit of this game, it was very entertaining, however being a kid I couldn't get a hang of the systems at all and once you got past the point where you have to pick a side, I'd just get my butt handed over to me no matter what.

I played this back in the day when it cane out.... i just perchused it again to add to my collection, a remaster would be AMAZING! PLZ any more info would be amazing. 😊

Legend of Dragoon recently came to playstation store. Radiata Stories belongs there too!

Wish i could play ist... Sadly never came out in Europe

I come back to this game almost every single year for a playthrough. 🥲
