I hold Radiata Stories as a top favorite game and important accessory to my past.
The story and gameplay just caught me and sucked me in, who would have thought it'd hold me forever? Ha!
No matter where I go in that game, it's all great.
Recruiting all 177 characters was worth it. Wide variety and two seperate paths and endings to the story.
Any others played and enjoyed this game?
It also has a great official website: http://na.square-enix.com/games/radiata/

Those who make mistakes tend to blame themselves and close their hearts. It's impossible to fix the mistake; you can't return to the past.
Forgive but never forget.
Man I remember when it first came out and Caesar and I got talking it up.
Clearly a great gem for the PS2. I also loved the two paths and the recruiting.
Edit: I was sidetracked. Allow me to continue.
I also got a kick out of the animation, it was pretty light hearted which made the game more fun. And the armor actually changed for Jack which was a pleasant surpris. (Surprise for you English folk)
I remembering wearing certain armor just because of the look and not the effects which in post game wasn't a big deal. I remember being a two handed sword/spear guy, never liked the axe at all. I don't think I ever got all the characters either. I was only missing like two or three. (But I try to make it a habit not to be a completionist in games)

I don't know why I said 108 characters in my first post. Fixed.
Glad to see someone else in the forum enjoyed the game.

I wouldn't mind playing that one but i only have PAL version of PS2 :/
Looks interesting, looking for games like that.
I felt I was playing though a Y-7 cartoon when going through this game. The best part was figuring out how to get different people in your party. I had to at least have one monster in the group, and that was usually a Goblin. I remember the chef was strong...it's been a while.
Chrono Cores:
Man this game takes me back lol, I remember playing it and loving the 2 separate paths scenario (I choose the bad side first lol), also I think I got a few characters, getting all of them was way too much of a chore, kinda reminds me of Chrono Cross, another game with too many characters.
I recently tried playing the ending again about 7 months ago after beating it years ago and I had no idea what I was doing but eh awesome game to say the least, I think my brother has it now..

-98% of all teens have tried smoking pot and drinking. If you're one of the 2% who hasn't, copy this and put it in your signature.
Now, I remember. Mentioning the two paths, I did both. I remember the best armor I found might have been the best set in the game. It was after you take the dark or monster path and run through a cave dungeon with Ridley. I also liked it because of the look over the function. Does anyone remember the name of the goblin in Shangri La who was the chef? I used him and Ridley thoughout the monster path. Was Gabe his name? The fourth member I kept switching out.
On the human path, I kept Marietta from the Star Tower in the party. I don't remember who I kept in the party for the other two slots. There were so many characters I ended up trying each one in combat. I also remember collecting all of the elemental weapons. The one for Wind and the one for Earth I liked the best.
Chrono Cores:
Extremely addictive game. I've probably logged close to 800 hours on this bastard throughout multiple plays through over the years. I like how they were able to make a relatively serious RPG, and still weave humor into it. Jack was always doing something humorous. And the intro to the Gabriel Celeste fight is still one of the funniest things I can honestly say I've ever seen in a game. Story was somewhat cliche, but still easy to immerse yourself in, and easy to love. Though the human path was usually better as far as making an epic party went, never felt quite right to me taking it. But then the superiority complex brought out by having a godly party of Jack, Elwyn, Kain, and Nyx makes me not care anymore!
