It's not bad, although I never got super far into it. It's one of those games that has all the elements that I would think would make me like it, but it never quite landed for reasons that are hard to place. Maybe one day I'll go back and give it another try and figure out whether I do like it or not.
Without any previous knowledge of what the hell "Arc the Lad" was, I sure did try my best to play this after my mom bought me a copy from Costco (????). It was my first real experience with a JRPG of any kind and I've never really been able to get into them in the 20+ years since.
I just don't have the patience anymore for this type of game. Losing progress bc I couldn't safe before a fight bothers me more now that I know this is basically a rarity in modern games.
I'm sure I would have loved this in my teens and I would have had the time and patience for this. But I'm not. :/

Deimos side carried this hard.
Tremenda Saga, no muy conocida, jugabilidad original, personajes carismáticos, dificultad alta, no le puedo pedir mas a este juego.
Not very well known game, but really good.
No me gusto nada
It’s an ok game. I tried it out again because I played it as a kid, the nostalgia was nice but if I hadn’t played it as a kid I would have quit a lot sooner.
I enjoy the combat system, but it gets very repetitive and the way exp is earned is off putting. You need to keep your party evenly leveled (which is difficult because of the way exp works, based off damage dealt) or else some characters will be completely useless.
I quit at the last boss because my party was too weak to continue, and there wasn’t any way to leave the final area to grind exp.
Deimos were the only interesting part of the story for me personally, and I would have liked the game more if humans just weren’t in it at all tbh.

Played a long time ago and stopped... from what I remember, I thought the game was fine. Maybe I'll get back to it someday...
Totally underrated/underplayed JRPG gem for the PS2. The uber-generic OVERCOMING DIFFERENCES storyline is goofy and simplistic but super endearing in its sentimental delivery, and the turn-based / gridless SRPG combat system is inspired and so satisfying. I have no idea why Bebedora isn't more of a gaming icon because frankly everything about her rocks. Tatjana also maybe takes the cake as the most morally irredeemable and disgusting villain turned good guy party member in any game? Love that TOTS' naive and sunny idealism has room to even forgive the Dr. Mengele-level eugenicist mass torturer. Unpretentious, stupid, and cute!!!!
