SnickerdoodleNinja's Radiata Stories Game Review
Rated:
Through its gameplay, Radiata Stories provides a number of different ways for you to amuse yourself. One of the more creative elements is the method of recruitment. As the in-game clock (able to be checked by the player at any time) progresses, day and night come and go, and Jack can follow each of the 177 character in their daily routine as you try to get hints as to how to recruit them. Yes, that’s right: one of the game’s main attractions is stalking people. It’s slightly creepy when you think about it that way, but still very fun to be able to see the detail put into every individual character. That said, not every character you can stalk is recruitable, and unless you look it up you could end up wasting a large amount of time on a non-player character.

Prose's Radiata Stories Game Review
Rated:
One thing that struck me with Radiata Stories was this: I went into it not expecting much, just another standard blah blah RPG that Square Enix put out while people are waiting for Final Fantasy XII to be released. But I was wrong. Radiata Stories is probably one of the most enjoyable RPGs to date. In my eyes it's definetely a classic and will be a hard to find title later on. Maybe not Valkyrie Profile classic, but a classic in its own respect.
The battle system is basically Star Ocean III done right. You only control one character (Jack Russel) throughout your adventures, but you can form various battle formations and commands through the "Give Orders" menu after learning either from books or from using formations in battle.
