This is one of the best RPG games I played in a long tie. Graphic's are not the greatest, but for the story-line, and the play time is worth it. I ve played 40 hrs and I still havent beatin it. Its a must if you own a game cube.

Sweet RPG

This game has it all a solid engrossing story line a great cast and easy controls. You could not ask for a better RPG. The length is about average 45 hours if you want to beat it 80hrs if you do all sidequests. The story plot is great full of twists and truns always keeps you guessing till the end. Plenty of items and weapons for each of the 8 characters. You and strength, speed, magic, healer, summoner, and a few balanced characters. One for any person. You can switch control to any character at any time you are not limited to the choice you make at the begining. All in all this is the best RPG I have played in a while. I could not put it down till I completed it. Then new levels of difficulty open up and new shops open also. Changing the game for the second time around keeping it fresh and challanging. I would rank this up threre with Zelda games. They should make this a mainstay in gaming. This game is an A+++ I will play this time and time again. It does not get old. I recomend that all lovers of RPG play this game they will not be disappointed I promise you that. Namco knows what the gamers want.

Awesomeley Awesome

This game receives a perfect score from many users for one reason - It's a good game! It has good graphics, the battle systems is unique and FUN (no more turn-based stop-and-go battles), and the characters are believable. The storyline sends you out into the world, with many twists and turns. You learn new abilities based on how much you have practiced them in battle (realistic, right?), and have the option of choosing which stats the character is more inclined on getting by setting a title, which can be accessed in various ways. Overall, this game takes about 60-70 hours to beat, depending on how you play it, and is fun the whole way through. I'd recommend this game to any RPG/action fan.

one of my all time favorites!!!

this Game Cube game is one of the best games for the Game Cube that i have ever played. it is really fun because when you think the game is starting to get really slow or boring, it bursts back in to life with either a new plot or a new character with a strange background. the best part about this game i think is that it is a RPG and i LOVE RPG's. even though this game is for game cube wich i think isnt the best console. anyway, this is a GREAT game.

this game is amazing i highly recommend this game to all rpg lovers this game takes the gamer into a whole different world and lets them experience hardship, glory, and revenge all throughtout the game. Those who decide to play this game i highly recommend a guide to all those who are interested in getting the best of the best items and gettin every item or recipe in the game. This game also lets you take control of other characters and throughout the game you meet new friends and exciting new enemies that will challenge the gamers perspective. Aside the fact that fighting plays a major role in this game when your friends are tired you can cook up learned recipes in the game and feed your friends. This game has a great fighting based system it goes along well with the storyline even with a guide i managed to beat to game with a little more than 60 hours of gameplay. I highly urge this game to any and all RPG lovers.

This game is one of my favorite games of all time.

Graphics - 4/5 Cartoonish, but very good. Im not a cartoon fan, but I have to admit these are very nice.

Game Play - 5/5 A classic RPG travel system, with a free-form battle system.

Replay Value - 5/5 I've beat it over 10 times and it's still addicting!

Controls - 5/5 Very easy-to-use.

Side Quests - 5/5 Plenty of side quests to add to the already 60+ hours of main story.

Story - 5/5 The key element in RPG stories is twists at the right time. TOS has that in abundance. The occasional comedy in the story also adds a nice touch.

Total Value - 5/5 A great game all-around. You cant go wrong with getting this game.

A Must-Have RPG For Any Gamer!

It doesn't matter how old this game gets, until a Wii replacment comes out, this game is THE best RPG behind The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. If you have a GameCube and you've never played this game, buy it, pop it into your Wii or GameCube and play it until your eyes fall out of your head or you suffer from seizures.
