If you own or plan to buy a PS2. You should look out for this stunning RPG from Level 5, possibly the best RPG to come on the PS2.


Rogue Galaxy begins on the planet Rosa with the title hero, Jaster Rogue, a young man with avid dreams of exploring the galaxy. Unfortunately for him, Rosa, despite being a planet on the outskirts of the galaxy, is rife with highly contested natural resources. As a result, the planet has been invaded by the Longadia Commonwealth, and its citizens enslaved and forbidden from ever leaving. However, thanks to a few misunderstandings and a series of fortunate events, Jaster is recruited by a gang of space pirates, and joins the crew of the pirate ship Dorgenark-Go and her captain Dorgengoa. Immediately he finds himself in a galaxy-wide search with the crew for a legendary planet said to hold the secret to eternal life, which soon turns into much more than a simple voyage as the Dytron Corporation and its devious president Walkog Drazer, join the hunt for the mysterious and much desired planet.



North American and European gamers get a bonus from Level 5

Thanks to its success in Japan, Level-5 has opted not only to localize Rogue Galaxy for North America and Europe, but to also add a significant amount of new features and content, and address any complaints concerning the original version. These improvements will include

  • A fifth planet, the water world of Alistia; while separate from the main story arc, it includes its own sidequests and special items.
  • Revamped Chain Attacks; players now collect orbs during battle, which allows them to execute these attacks when they choose.
  • The layout and visual design of several dungeons and planets has been altered and improved.
  • Additional content within the Insectron Tournament sidequest.
  • New items, weapons, monsters, costumes and special moves.
  • Improved and expanded battle animations.
  • Over 2000 lines of additional voiced dialogue.
  • Higher quality cinematics, due to improved compression.

I don't know much about Level-5 and do not know why this game should be on my radar. What am I missing? What's going to make this game different than other j-RPG's?
