I really like this game but my cousin loved this game he played the hwll out of the game we doing all side content I didn't but this was on the original ps2
Dark Cloud is a series I wish lasted into later generations. There's so much potential with that formula. Probably my favorite PS2 rpg series that isn't by Square Enix or Atlus.
Such a brilliant game. Its sense of exploration, story, soundtrack and characters really immersed me in it’s world. One of the hidden gems of the ps2 era. You did an amazing job reviewing this game.
Man, I would love you to cover Dark Cloud or Dark Chronicles. There is a ton of nostalgia in these games to me, as they are just "fun". No false sense of grandeur, no pretentiousness, just plain and simple fun. I think thats what Level 5 excels at.
This game, God this game! The PS2 is my favorite console hands down. Spent most of my early teenage years on it and love it to this day. There was one game I wanted for years but never got the money nor could I find it anyway. This was Rogue Galaxy! So finally buying it a few years ago was such a joy.
Always thought this game was just ok, although it's hard to deny how much level 5 pushed the PS2 visually. Favorite PS2 game would have to be Metal Gear Solid 3.
great review, wasn't sure if i should pick it up but the world building, art style, voice acting and music you highlighted sounds like its something for me. thanks for the helpful review
Just startrd playing and wow , what a gem this appears to be. That title screen tho. Phenomenal video, and phenomenal video journalism. This girl has it
Thank you for this review and also for being a black "nerd" youtuber that doesn't revolve their whole online identity around them being a "black nerd" just so a bunch of strangers can claim they know one while also not acting as if your blackness doesn't exist or you need to make a point to distance yourself from it to please someone. Happy Black History Month, Lady Pelvic
Hey, thank you so much! I stumbled across this game on PS Now and it interested me enough to try to seek out a good review. Your review is excellent, told me everything I wanted to know, and the game is now downloading. Thanks again! ❤️
There is a way to mostly know if a chest is a mimic. All mimics have the earth key seal so if you see an earth key seal get ready cause it could be a mimic
Galaxy Corp, Factory (In editing), Le Marie Glennecia, and Shadow of the Sun are my fav tracks. I thoroughly enjoyed the game combat was simple with the button mashing aspects sort of like Dynasty Warriors. Characters where kinda interesting too. But i loved the factory for making the toys make the toys. I love puzzles and thats what it was for me. I truly love this game and its very underrated IMO. Hope everyone is safe, healthy and happy!
I used to have this game like 12 years ago, it froze at the part where Deego was stopping Angela from leaving Vedan so I was never able to finish it. Now that I have a PS4 I'm currently playing it on PSN. I'm also currently on Planet Juraika in the Ancient Ruins
"If I'm going on an adventure throughout the Galaxy, I better see more than Humans and Humanoids." THANK YOU! ........Granted the party here still fits the latter, Humanoid doesn't mean human looking, it means bipedal and 2 arms and legs. Your thinking of 'Near-Human'.
All there are a lot of companions in Rogue Galaxy who are either robots or anthropomorphic aliens. Hell, the three main antagonists, who are greedy executives don’t even look human at all. It’s good that Rogue Galaxy is one of those JRPG that has companions that aren’t even human at all, like Ni No Kuni 1 and 2, Final Fantasy 9, 10 and 12 and Legend of Dragoon.
I can’t pick only 1 PS2 game. Okami, Drakengard, Shadow Hearts, Ar tonelico 1 & 2, Mana Khemia, Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne & Digital Devil Saga, Xenosaga, among many others.
Great channel! It's always interesting seeing someone else's perspective on older games. It also takes a lot a perseverance and patience to play many older games, due to the dated mechanics. Much respect for tackling these older games despite their shortcomings by modern standards. Anyway, I'd love to see you do reviews of two games - one old and one new. Growlanser 2 is an old PS2 game that I think you may appreciate for it's sprite work and battle system. Ys 8: Lacrimosa of Dana is a newer game that I recently played, and added it to my list of favorite JRPGs. I think you'll really like Ys 8.
Nice review! I never got around to finishing Rogue Galaxy. My favorite PS2 JRPG is Shadow Hearts. I like its gothic fantasy theme and more timing based action combat mechanics. Great game that still holds up very well!
Played this back in the day on a PS2, whew. This game has a lot of systems and some grind if you want to get past certain dungeons. There are weapon recipes that require you to grind with sub par weapons, the factory, which is crazy, and the combat is blink and you're dead. Unfortunately, the tougher parts she mentioned (monster hunting / crafting / side quests) are all necessary to get the higher level gear. A very in depth and honest review.
My lord, I recall playing this game in my midteens over a long period of time, and I especially remember reaching the final boss (or well, that whole gauntlet), dying and being disatisfied with how far back the checkpoint took you. I ragequit, and then... never picked it back up, thus never finishing it; like, c'mon dude, you've spent such a long time on this game and had the patience for all the other difficult parts, now this is where you throw it in? But yeah, without noticing the grander story that much, I pretty much related to every point you put forth. Good shiz.
ok. so, first things first, those earrings are amazing, thanks for spreading the word because we need more people to buy from PoC artists. second, now i really want to play this game. i’ve been sitting on a copy i bought years ago for PS2 with the mentality that “i’ll play it eventually”, while always pushing it back in the queue for other, newer games. third, my favorite PS2 game that isn’t related to SquareEnix is definitely Dokapon Kingdom! it’s such a cute and unique board game style adventure that gives an RPG twist to normal, run of the mill, move five spaces and get money for your next star or chaos emerald. it’s great!
Actually, Mimic are very easy to kill if you know the trick to them, fire the gun that creates a platform on them, and jump on them and keep bouncing, it'll kill them in a few hops.
Here's a quick tip for mimics. If you use the monography shot on them, the platform spawns on their head and then you can jump on it for good chunks of damage while avoiding having to fight it directly. Just set your party to disengage, hit it with the monography shot and then jump on its head until it's dead!
If you buy it guys make sure it is the double-layer 8.5GB DVD updated ver , If you download it make sure it the 8.5GB ver larger rom not the under 4GB ISO. They did update the game looks better and it does not crash part way into the game anymore.
Great review! I picked this game up recently on a sale and while it doesn't blow me away it felt kinda like JRPG Star Wars so I was enraptured by it's charm right away. I also made the mistake of being stubborn with my AP and had to break that habit real quick because I was getting blown the fuck up by regular ass mobs.
Oooh, I remember loving Rogue Galaxy. Played it again not too long ago and it was tougher than I remember. And a favorite PS2 game...? SMT:Nocturne maybe, but there is so much good from that era its hard to say. Also I've check out the linked store, definitely going to be buying something from them. Everything is beautiful! Thanks for sharing that.
I seem to remember Mimics being slightly different. Like, one shade off. And, you don't have to die if your third player goes down. Just immediately jump to the menu, and revive your people. It gives you, maybe, half a second?
Not at all. The mimics looked identical to chests. I'm pretty sure once all three characters are down. It's game over. Now the game is good about letting you have 1 HP before you go down. So you have to act fast. But that doesn't change the fact how hard enemies hit and how annoying it is to live in the menu. EDIT: Holy shit you're actually right. Mimic's have locks on them. I NEVER noticed.
Love you support independent businesses. I had high expectations for this game, though I'm not surprised with the result. Level 5 never excelled at "grandiose" games. This and Ni No Kuni 2 pale in comparison to similar games. Their smaller games are much tighter and overall better experiences.
Glad to see you tackle RGalaxy. I definitely tried to love this game for about a decade and a half before coming to the conclusion there are much better Level 5 games and this game is just arduous and less fun than it appears. I think it's the battle system that sucked the chrome off my male cheerleader trophy. I loved the graphics and the outfits you discover. I now realize that Rogue does a few things very right, but mostly is out to do you wrong. Your wisdom is, as always, duly appreciated.
I LOVED Rogue Galaxy back when it came out, it consumed my nights and I remember being completely enthralled and immersed in its world. It's one of the unsung gems of the Ps2 era (is it though? I have no idea, all I know is that it doesn't get talked about nearly enough, so coming across this video was a nice surprise :))
I really loved this game back in 2008 when I played it for the first time. When it came to PS4 digitally, I instant purchased it and told myself I was going to beat it all over again. I had rose tinted glasses about the game. I have a lot of the same feelings you did about the combat, and just did not find the game fun a second time. I feel it has not aged well.
I lovingly call this game "One Piece, but in space", since some of the progression elements within the story and the general feel remind me of the series, even though some of the emotional beats (like a couple of deaths) really fall short due to not having enough time to care about said characters.
The maps look like they were automatically generated, probably with the same system they used in the Dark Cloud games...so it's no wonder they just look like endless tunnels. They probably could have set up the procedural generation algorithm a little better. Great review, and that was a really cool about out at the end. Their art looks awesome :)
Hi great review! If you ever wind up replaying and want to cheese the chest mimics you can shoot them with the platform gun and then jumped on the spawned platform to do damage without getting hit.
Great review. Knocking my rose tinted glasses right off especially when it comes to combat. I guess I forgot about all the aggravating aspects. I do remember jumping and platforming being a hassle. Favorite PS2 non FF or KH? I'll go with a non RPG and say Rockstars The Warriors. One of the few 3d person brawlers that I really enjoyed that's also a favorite movie of mine. Lots of fun destroying rival gangs
I wish this would get a Switch release. I played Rogue Galaxy originally on the PS2 but it was at a point when I got out of gaming for a long while. I never got to finish it but I really enjoyed the game. I'd love a chance to play this again today.
When this game first came out I thought it was awesome, but when I tried to replay it when it dropped on PSN, man, it felt mid as hell. Pretty much agreed with everything you said about it.
As for favorite PS2 game that isnt FF or KH? I wouldn't have picked FF or KH anyways because it's a toss up between Tales of the Abyss, Devil May Cry 3 and Shadow of the Colossus.
I have a huge soft spot for The Summoner on PS2. I *think* it was the first RPG on it, and it's really cool, with a huge world, and the art and graphics are that perfect mix of "chunky early PS2" and super charming. Also, The Bouncer. Screw everyone, I love that game.
Guilty here...tried to play Rogue Galaxy back in the day because a friend of mine wouldn't shut up about it. When I realized that 2/3 of my playing time went on insect battles and grinding to get "good" weapons I gave up on it.
I wanted to play Rogue Galaxy back in the day. But the 360 launched just before Rogue Galaxy, and I was in an Xbox 360 state of mind. Hopefully one day we get a remaster.
I got this on psn cause i remember playing some of it. Im glad this, the dark cloud series, and okage are available. Edit: wait, i just realized something - that frog who merges weapons is in jeane darc doing the same thing!
Those are great earrings, thank you very much for highlighting Culture Beautiful! I will definitely show that to some of my buddies who might dig it. As for fave PS2 game not of those listed, hmm, probably Suikoden 5.
I remember loving this game so much but that was damn near 13 years ago! Did you do the after game dungeon? It's cool because you meet a "new" character.
Thanks for the review. I have been kinda balking at this for a while on ps4 and it slipped past my radar when it was on ps2. I think I'll finally give it a shot.
Yoooo i got this game like 3 years ago and played up to the metropolis looking planet before breath of the wild came out and consumed my game time shortly after. I do need to get back and complete it after this review (thanks for not spoiling much, tho thats probly cuz there's not much too spoil) That shirt art looks amazing, definitely gonna check out the shop!
Rogue Galaxy is one of those game i see all the time but didn't pick up now it seem interesting great review lady I have to stan arc the lad twilight of the spirits is a gem of a ps2 game a good fire emblem like game with a crazy cast . this really came
Favorite PS2 game for me is the .hack//G.U. trilogy, such nostalgic and amazing games for me and they recently got a remaster that bundles all 3 together on the PS4 and PC! I hope you check them out because I can't recommend then enough for amazing music, world building and heart wrenching moments! I feel that the gameplay and especially the dungeon design doesn't quite hold up but if your decent at them you can blast through it really easily and it can get fun in its own way.
Looks a lot like ff12. They have a gambit system, monster hunting sidequests, a battle system that's a mix of real time and turn based, and it takes place during a war that your characters aren't actually fighting in.
Favourite playstation 2 game is mos def Persona 3. The game play is amazing and it is visually very nice for PS2. Demon collecting is so much fun in the SMT series in general.
![Rogue Galaxy Review! [PS2] The Game Collection](/img/n.gif)
Love me some Rogue Galaxy! Level 5 on PS2 was freaking unstoppable!
Yeah I platinumed this game and 100%ed it as well
I really like this game but my cousin loved this game he played the hwll out of the game we doing all side content I didn't but this was on the original ps2
Dark Cloud is a series I wish lasted into later generations. There's so much potential with that formula. Probably my favorite PS2 rpg series that isn't by Square Enix or Atlus.
I'm still dreaming one day level 5 say dark cloud 3 😂😅
Favorite PS2 game was Shadow Hearts 2: Covenant.
From the characters, to the combat, this story will always stick with me! An amazing JRPG.
Zombie response lol.. I still have a physical Shadow Hearts Trilogy.
Love shadow hearts covenant
Favorite PS2 game that's not FF or KH? Well obviously that's gotta be another hit from Level 5, Dragon Quest VIII. :)
For me, it's Dark Cloud 2.
THAT'S MY NEXT ONE ON MY DRAGON QUEST TO PLAY LIST!!!
star ocean 3 anyone??
Yeah Dragon Quest 7 was pretty fun. The music was the only let down.
Geronuis definitely
Such a brilliant game. Its sense of exploration, story, soundtrack and characters really immersed me in it’s world. One of the hidden gems of the ps2 era. You did an amazing job reviewing this game.
Shadow of the Colossus was one of my favorite PS2 games. The simplicity of it's objective and it's atmosphere were just perfect.
found you via searching anyone mentioning about rogue galaxy and to see the plethora of rpgs you cover, i cant wait to binge! you got a sub :>
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy. :-)
Man, I would love you to cover Dark Cloud or Dark Chronicles. There is a ton of nostalgia in these games to me, as they are just "fun". No false sense of grandeur, no pretentiousness, just plain and simple fun. I think thats what Level 5 excels at.

Per par, a highly detailed review. And thank you kindly for promoting Black History month.

@6:30 Mimics CAN BE DISTINGUISHED! You gotta LOOK CAREFULLY at the lock piece if there's that gem look or not.
Youre right! I made a mistake haha!

Really loved the commentary. Looking forward to more great reviews. Favorite PS2 RPGs are Shadow Hearts 2: Covenant and Dark Cloud 2
Answer: Tales series! Tales of Destiny HD is simply the BEST PS2 I ever played! ( I have played most FF n KH title on PS1, 2, 3 n 4, so far).
Ah Mimics the bane of any DnD/RPG player ever. Great review as aways!
I can’t pick only 1 PS2 game. Okami, Drakengard, Shadow Hearts, Ar tonelico 1 & 2, Mana Khemia, Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne & Digital Devil Saga, Xenosaga, among many others.
Favorite PS2 JRPG: Megaman X Command Mission
Think this may be one of my favorite TH-cam review series now
My favorite would have to be Xenosaga. I just finished the series for like the 5th time. I think you would enjoy it!
Great channel! It's always interesting seeing someone else's perspective on older games. It also takes a lot a perseverance and patience to play many older games, due to the dated mechanics. Much respect for tackling these older games despite their shortcomings by modern standards.
Anyway, I'd love to see you do reviews of two games - one old and one new. Growlanser 2 is an old PS2 game that I think you may appreciate for it's sprite work and battle system. Ys 8: Lacrimosa of Dana is a newer game that I recently played, and added it to my list of favorite JRPGs. I think you'll really like Ys 8.
I can’t believe that I will see a review bout rogue galaxy on 2020, but u made it omg very nostalgiccccccc
Nice review! I never got around to finishing Rogue Galaxy.
My favorite PS2 JRPG is Shadow Hearts. I like its gothic fantasy theme and more timing based action combat mechanics. Great game that still holds up very well!
Downloading this from PSNow right now. I absolutely adored the Dark Cloud games and this is by the same devs
Played this back in the day on a PS2, whew. This game has a lot of systems and some grind if you want to get past certain dungeons. There are weapon recipes that require you to grind with sub par weapons, the factory, which is crazy, and the combat is blink and you're dead. Unfortunately, the tougher parts she mentioned (monster hunting / crafting / side quests) are all necessary to get the higher level gear.
A very in depth and honest review.

But yeah, without noticing the grander story that much, I pretty much related to every point you put forth. Good shiz.
Sick jungle beat is right! Glad u pointed that out haha
ok. so, first things first, those earrings are amazing, thanks for spreading the word because we need more people to buy from PoC artists.
second, now i really want to play this game. i’ve been sitting on a copy i bought years ago for PS2 with the mentality that “i’ll play it eventually”, while always pushing it back in the queue for other, newer games.
third, my favorite PS2 game that isn’t related to SquareEnix is definitely Dokapon Kingdom! it’s such a cute and unique board game style adventure that gives an RPG twist to normal, run of the mill, move five spaces and get money for your next star or chaos emerald. it’s great!
Definitely cemented my desire to go play Rogue Galaxy, thanks for quality content as always!
Missed out on this one originally. Just so happens to be on sale now so I’ll check it out.
@Pelvic Gaming not only did he do number 1 from KIDS but he also did Joseph Joestar from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
I clocked around 220 hours of rogue galaxy. I couldnt put it down. Loved the game. Loved the review.
Favorite PS2? You know me. It's gotta be Suikoden III. But other than fanboying out on anything Suikoden, X-Men Legends 2 was awesome.
Lol You're such a Suikoden stan I love it ♡
I remember wanting to play this back in the day when I had my ps2.
They definitely need to make a Rogue Galaxy 2 to expand on the story and fill in some of the gaps from the first one lol such an underrated game
My alltime FAVORITE JRPG!
Wish it got more attention.
My favorite non FF/KH ps2 rpg?
Persona 3 , that's one of my favorite cast in video games.
Armadillomon, I'm crying 😂😂
also!! my favorite ps2 game is Radiata Stories, I hope you consider touching it, its an action RPG too
Actually, Mimic are very easy to kill if you know the trick to them, fire the gun that creates a platform on them, and jump on them and keep bouncing, it'll kill them in a few hops.

Yup
Adjust the hue to give more magenta in post to get rid of that green tint

If you buy it guys make sure it is the double-layer 8.5GB DVD updated ver , If you download it make sure it the 8.5GB ver larger rom not the under 4GB ISO. They did update the game looks better and it does not crash part way into the game anymore.

I love your roll call of the cast. "Littlefoot" probably got the biggest laugh out of me.

0:32 - 0:42 Story of my life since Xenoblade Definitive trailer back in September, I hadn't even heard of it before gahhhh that title screen music
This game is still my favorite video game of all time and ive played so many others
My favourite game on Ps2 (and all time) is Radiata Stories. It is an excellent jrpg with a funny story.
i started playing recently and i,m already in love
I have a huge soft spot for The Summoner on PS2. I *think* it was the first RPG on it, and it's really cool, with a huge world, and the art and graphics are that perfect mix of "chunky early PS2" and super charming. Also, The Bouncer. Screw everyone, I love that game.
Those damn Mimics! I usually like them in game but these beasts ate me every time and really had me hesitant to open a chest!
"What's your favorite PS2 game.

"That isn't KH or FF?"

This game is on sale on the PS4 store if anybody wanted to buy and play it for themselves.
Suikoden 5 was one of my fav PS2 games. Wish the load times weren't so long though

Beyond Good And Evil is my favorite PS2 game
Those are great earrings, thank you very much for highlighting Culture Beautiful! I will definitely show that to some of my buddies who might dig it.
As for fave PS2 game not of those listed, hmm, probably Suikoden 5.
I remember loving this game so much but that was damn near 13 years ago! Did you do the after game dungeon? It's cool because you meet a "new" character.
This game was kinda perfect for me as a kid-- sci fi RPG with a ton of side stuff to do/collect to scratch my 100%-completion-or-delete-save-file itch
Thanks for the review. I have been kinda balking at this for a while on ps4 and it slipped past my radar when it was on ps2. I think I'll finally give it a shot.
Yoooo i got this game like 3 years ago and played up to the metropolis looking planet before breath of the wild came out and consumed my game time shortly after.
I do need to get back and complete it after this review (thanks for not spoiling much, tho thats probly cuz there's not much too spoil)
That shirt art looks amazing, definitely gonna check out the shop!
Rogue Galaxy is one of those game i see all the time but didn't pick up
now it seem interesting great review lady
I have to stan arc the lad twilight of the spirits is a gem of a ps2 game a good fire emblem like game with a crazy cast . this really came
Same for me. I've seen and heard of it for years but just never bothered playing it. After watching this, I think I might enjoy it
Favorite PS2 game for me is the .hack//G.U. trilogy, such nostalgic and amazing games for me and they recently got a remaster that bundles all 3 together on the PS4 and PC! I hope you check them out because I can't recommend then enough for amazing music, world building and heart wrenching moments! I feel that the gameplay and especially the dungeon design doesn't quite hold up but if your decent at them you can blast through it really easily and it can get fun in its own way.
Awesome review, LP, and I love the BHM shout-out. I’ll def check out Culture Beautiful, those earrings are sick.
that dude that was the kid from kids next door is also dagget from angry beavers
Looks a lot like ff12. They have a gambit system, monster hunting sidequests, a battle system that's a mix of real time and turn based, and it takes place during a war that your characters aren't actually fighting in.
Nope not the same
I hear so much about this game. Need to give it a chance
I really love how u reviewed this game right !!! Thank you
My favorite PS2 RPG is Suikoden V but the one I like the most that can be bought for PS4 via the Playstation Store is Dark Cloud 2.
One day ill play suikoden 5!
Favourite playstation 2 game is mos def Persona 3. The game play is amazing and it is visually very nice for PS2. Demon collecting is so much fun in the SMT series in general.
I never played this one, thank you for checking it out. I knew just about nothing about it.
