Looking for a RPG that is simple, objective e fun? Legaia 2 is one of a kind that makes you play until its end.
The history is a basic, but winning one: some wacko got lots of power and want to get revenge of the rest of the world by destroying it planning for a "world restart" (lots of RPGs give some motivations for villains and they always explain it well in the game).
As an old game for PS2, Legaia 2 isn't a show about graphics and effects, but it's good enough for a good experience.
I like most about the "arts" battle system: good camera, gret voice acting, characters movements and good sound make the monter spanking a pleasure.
And the cast of characters is great and distinct.
I am an old RPG player (31 years old), I'm married, I work all the day, have a lot of stuff to do... by the final of the day I'm tired, so, I tend to avoid too much complex RPG games (like Final Fantasy XII, Star Ocean 3). Lighter RPGs, such Legaia 2, makes my pleasure for enjoying RPGs like old times.
Well, you are an young player and have lots of time in your hands: look for newer RPGs as they are more complex and lenghty. If you are a bit tired and with little time left, go for it.
