GI - Tri-Ace has been uneven with its RPG offerings this generation, but on the PS2, the studio produced some of my favorite games. One of those is Radiata Stories, an often-overlooked gem with a fantasy world filled with endearing characters. Partway through, you have to make a critical choice that impacts which of those characters can be your allies, as well as which ending you receive.
16 years after its original release, players have datamined never-before-seen footage of Radiata Stories hidden deep within the game files.
The game shouldve had a 3rd route similar to fe fates. A neutral route where you go off alone making the difficulty the hardest and you recruit members from both sides. A path that actually gave us a satisfying ending lol. The potential.....
This game was a masterpiece for me. Somehow someway Tri-Ace took the Suikoden formula and delivered it in a new refreshing way.

HPP: "Hoping to see Radiata Stories on future consoles and preserved digitally for generations to come? Be sure to sign the petition to #ReviveRadiata."
You know, I miss Radiata Stories, Vagrant Story, and Valkyrie Profile. Back in the day jrpgs has a more epic feel to them compared to now.
You can mod your ps3 and ps4 to play ps2 games, yet VP2 always has horrible problems. Even in emulation it has all sorts of bugs and graphical glitches. Needs a remake so badly. VP1 had psp and mobile port.
The DS VP game is really great, too.
Oh God I would love a remake/remaster/definitive edition that does a much better ending than the two that the original has.
Would love a revival of this game it was never released in the EU and i would love to play it.
It's been 15 years since Radiata Stories released on the PS2, a one-of-a-kind JRPG released at the end of the PS2's console cycle; to commemorate the occasion, fans are coming together to petition Square-Enix and tri-Ace to revive the hidden gem and digitally preserve it on the PSN.
I played it wayyyy back when, and it was fantastic, unfortunately due to a ps2 issue I was unable to finish it. But I would definitely play a legitimate remake of the game.
I haven't either. There are so many games these guys could revive or remaster. The PS1 and PS2 were filled with amazing rpgs that I never got to play
Played this back in the day, didn’t have time to finish it. Bought and repaired a PS3 Fat Japanese launch model and this game (400yen for the game) two weeks ago. Planning to play it all the way to the end.
I remember the music and graphics being really good, and the game having some interesting story developments there as well.
Sadly, the ps2 version is in my backlog to play. I found a copy of this a little while ago and i have a ps3 with BC. I will get to it.
Oh, hell yeah. This game has a pretty unique feeling, too bad not many people know about it.
Yoy say that but, I don't think it's that obscure . Look how many people know about it and are posting.
You know what never gets mentioned? Koudelda/shadow hearts...
Koudelda is a bit too weird to be honest, I love it, but it feels like a game designed to be niche. Shadow Hearts had two sequels, far from "never gets mentioned".
OMG, instant nostalgia. How could I forget about this great rpg. PS2 had some of the best rpgs hands down.
my friend just gave me a copy of this game, i just started it and it really is a great game so far, i cant believe i never heard of this one, i even grew up in the SNES days , but this still missed my radar somehow.
