• Let's Play Rogue Galax...
![Rogue Galaxy Review! [PS2] The Game Collection](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/SigdJ2u64w0/mqdefault.jpg)
one of my favorite games of all time..such an underated game.
In the west the game was released on the PS2 after the PS3...went completely unnoticed. Sad, as this is one of the best games of the 2000s.
@@Nervarel its due for a re release
poisonjam44 you can download it on ps4
@@omensoffate really im gona do that. hopefully my region can.
@@Nervarel Yeah, when the PS3 launched, the game press/PR machine kind of treated everything that came out for PS2 after that like vestigial limbs or something. There were some amazing games that fell into that window: Rogue Galaxy, Steampunk Chronicles, and more. Maybe if enough people keep bringing it up and buy the PS4 port, we'll get more of it someday.
I didn't find this game difficult because my poor sense of direction combined with confusing dungeons made me inadvertently grind my characters to godlike levels.
Same
@@theflyingninja1 Saaaammmeeee
That'll do it.
I think the point of an RPG is to become godlike by the mid-way point and then destroy everything. Always do mini bosses in a JRPG
I'm ending up doing that in the prison - my guys just die left and right so at this point I'm running back and forth from the warp platform and fighting and spamming specials. And yeah - even after all these years, this is my first time playing it. Somehow I missed it when it came out and just happened to hear about it on a video.
I still can't believe how much depth they put into the Insectron stuff. A mini-game that had more depth than some full price releases.
it's absolutely shocking, in all honesty. Never got too much into it personally, but I could see that there was a LOT there
One of the signature things I remember about it. Yeah, it's better than a lot of complete games released now.
Welcome to the world of triple A games where they feed you a a plain hamburger with french fries and a flat soda yet price it like you were eating at a five star restaurant being served by Gordon Ramsey himself.
Here I am still waiting for a Remaster. Everything was so good. Insectrons, Lilika, Gear Upgrades/Fusion/Smithing, Lilika, Story, Skill Arts oh and I almost forgot Lilika.
it's available on ps4 and it aged well !!
....As did Lilika ;)
Ah yes, Liklika! Sorry Kisala, step aside for the warrior queen😍
tbh - the only bad thing about the game was that it was still too short
It doesn't need a remaster, play it on emulator it looks great to this day, ps4 have poor emulation
This is on of my favourite rpg and probably the best on the ps2. It's sad that this game didnt have the recognition that it deserves, such a gem.
I haven't even watched half of the video, but everything you showed and every point talked about already made me want to buy it. And there is a port for the PS4 for only $6!!!! Wow!!! (Christmas sale)
I said it then, and I’ll say it now, “Rogue Galaxy” should have been pushed to the PS3. At least in the West. It came out like 2 months after the PS3’s release and was overshadowed by it. There was very little to play on the PS3 at launch and I think it would have sold much better.
@genius2012: Yup.
Plus, it would run a lot better (most probably 50-something fps) and with the extra horsepower it could even have co-op!
Same thing happened with FF9. It was overshadowed by PS2
This game was so good... I miss the colors, the feel good vibes, the different costumes before the paid dlc culture.
This game was in fact, ahead of its time. Playing now it has so many elements to it for that time between the factory the frog and your characters and weapons level up and evolved plus skills trees to boot. This game has alot to offer if you have never played it before.
I remember I bought Rogue Galaxy a few days after it came out. I had no idea what it was, I had never seen any ad's or articles about it before it came out. If they advertised it, they didn't advertise it much. I bought purely because the cover looked cool. When I took it home, I was completely hooked. I didn't play any other game until I completed it. And I did everything, even the ridiculous post game dungeon. I had to have that pirate outfit. This game will always hold a special place in my heart. It wasn't overly difficult a game, but I do remember dying a healthy number of times. Especially against the recurring antagonist/alter ego of Jaster. Some of the dungeons were absolutely bonkers though. With the worst being the towers. It was a time commitment, but if you haven't played it and you like to invest in your games with none of this new game bs there seems to be nowadays then i highly reccomend you give it a try. Plus its under $20 just about anywhere you go. So it won't break the bank. Might want to keep a guide on speed dial though. You may need it.
This game LOOKS and PLAYS amazingly fresh to this day. Incredible. Apart from the infuriating last boss, this game is a timeless masterpiece.
Wow, finally some people who can relate, I must've tried atleast 50 times before killing that last boss, but the feeling was amazing
As someone who beat this without the guide in 2010 and beat the story under 20hrs. Playing it a second time (still without the guide) I noticed i missed a lot. None of the mazes really confused me except the Gladius Towers due to its size. My main concern is with the difficulty of certain monster spawns compared to boss battles. Giant monsters u have to jump to hit, hit u especially hard and are sometimes on par with Bosses. Not counting Mimics as to me they are just side challenges to get Coins.
My favorite part is of course post story. The Ghost Ship is my favorite location, Especially GS Extreme. If ur lucky u can beat GSE around 6 hrs. I have yet to get much lower than that. I'm curious what everyone else's favorite part is?
I do love this game and one day i hope to beat it 100%. The frog log and monster huntings take the longest to complete.
Love this game! Wish they continued the series.
Well Darksiders proved that if you want a game badly enough and the developers can still make bank on it, then keep asking all together in one voice and one day they may listen.
N11 The game was voiced by movie actors instead of standard voice actors(seiyū) in Japan. I know it's a small thing but here you go.😊
KIDS NEXT DOOR! BATTLE STATIONS!!!!
Back then it's was one of my favorites Jrpg
I really wish they would revive this game, bring it to the Nintendo Switch and hopefully breathe new life into the series, it's made for it.
Sony IP?...,so imposible
@@diditekoandreas85 pretty much that XD
Nintentards "we want everything on switch even 1st party games even though we don't want our games on other consoles"
I'm waiting for someone to just remaster this game for current consoles and pc. It is worth it! I played it once many years ago and had so much fun with it. The story is really good and music too.
It's on ps4. I own it.
It’s there tho but not remastered
This is such a good game! Thanks for doing this video.
The bug mini game was actually fun for me.
Think So too
I love videos like this. Thanks Erick! I have this in my backlog, hoping to get to it. I love dark cloud though. Wish they’d make another. I platted the first, but the 2nd is a bit tedious.
The music in this game is a masterpiece. The magic effect in the game stake so you can double attack 5 times or ten times with it you can finish the bosses with 2 hits.
what a timing.. i´m playing this game now.. back in the day i just fought the first boss and now i´m in the middle of the game... the game is hard but the balance between action and turn battle its so incredible, i wish more rpgs got influenced by this game, and funny how it took two years to get a north american release because it got close to FF XII.. with similar design and some concepts... and the difficulty.. the game can be very easy if you use weapons according to your level, but if you are trying to craft different options your damage rate falls and becomes a much more challenging game... don´t know if this was an original intention but to me seems an interesting mechanic to balance the game. Wow i´m so into this game right now.. thanks for the video...
I've owned this game for a while now and my backlog is so big that it keeps getting pushed back. I really need to start playing some of my older games since I usually end up enjoying them more.
which games do you play? I love kingdom hearts, one piece pirate warriors 2 and 3, and grandia 2 and 3 :)
@@samuraireflection I've beaten kingdom hearts 1, 2 and 3 but havent played the others you've mentioned. I play a lot of jrpgs which is why my backlog is so big because they are so time consuming. I play other genres too of course. Today alone I played sekiro, trails of cold steel 3, pokemon sword and a hat in time lol. It's hard for me to focus on just one game at a time when I have so many but I end up beating none of them because of it.
we need more of the old school rpg games.
lot of rpgs nowadays are not that good.
Rogue Galaxy really sounds right up my alley. I liked Dark Cloud (not 2, but that's a tale for another time); I love Final Fantasy XII, Skies of Arcadia, and sky pirates; the massive worlds of FFXII and Xenoblade are one of my reasons for loving those games, especially the latter; and lastly, I'm not a huge sci-fi fan, but love fantasy worlds with some sci-fi-like technology (like Xenoblade). I bought this game thanks to Erick's PS2 JRPG Ranking video, and that was a good choice, apparently.
Regarding the development, the reason I feel it didn't sell well compared to DQ8, is because Rogue Galaxy was a new IP that most people would have been unaware of, whereas Dragon Quest 8 was part of a known franchise and already had a giant install base. Don't know why sony didn't realize this.
Well I think what happen cause DQ8 had a giant install base... in Japan not that much in the west, turns out DQVIII before DQIX was the easily the most succesfull Dragon Quest in the west, it help making DQ more well known in the west and give a Level 5 a good reputation, Sony thought that following that the name of Level 5 will be enough to reach good sells and.... well we all know how it end up ^^
I have fond memories of buying this game the first day it came out in college and spending a lot of time with it. Still one of my favorites.
Rogue Galaxy was a gift from my uncle who knew how much I loved Star Wars and Pirates of the Caribbean. It then became my favorite game of all time!
Love this game man. Awesome video broski
Now I will have to go play it on my PS4. It is a windy/rainy day, perfect for some RPG's.
It was still called Dark Cloud 3 during some of production, because the show list for E3 2004 listed Dark Cloud 3 but it was pulled at the last minute and then Rogue Galaxy released in Japan a year and a half later. It seems like the choice was made later in development that most think.
I loved this game when it came out, been meaning to replay it just... never get around to it...
Playing right now! One of my all time favorites. So so good.
Great video on a great game. The fact they wanted to make it a blend of sci-fi and fantasy now explains why it feels like Treasure Planet to me at times.
I loved Final Fantasy XII and Skies of Arcadia so I guess it makes sense that I ended up loving Rogue Galaxy!
But, yeah, I really did think it was just too hard especially the very last few boss battles.
Oh, Rogue Galaxy. I have somewhat a love hate relationship with this game. I love it so much for its gameplay, its colorful world(s) and its characters. I also hate it so much for the amount of grind I had to do to get all the tidbits it has. Man, if I can replay it, I'm gonna hack the hell out of that part. So many hours spent. I loved it, but oh the suffering.
As a game the wife and I loved and always will this was a treat for us as we never knew most of these you covered Erick. Huge thank you
The insectron tournament was one of my favorite things in the game.
Love this game
I feel like playing again
Buena info sobre el juego, otro de los que hablas que jamas he jugado pero que hoy en dia se me antoja mucho. Tarde que temprano voy a entrarle.
Great video, I didn't get the game on original release but own a physical copy and got it on ps4.
Need to complete it still, the game does have it's moments I struggled with (more trying to keep an eye on health) but not enough to put you off the game
I recently re played dark cloud 2 and started Rougue Galaxy last night because ps now has it. I noticed the similarities with dark cloud immediately so was happy to see when you pointed that fact out.
I'm a simple person, I see Rogue Galaxy in a video and i give it a like.
I love this game, is soo good 💪🏽
I hadn't considered the parallels between FF XII and Rogue Galaxy, but the similarities don't diminish my appreciation for the strengths of each game. I invested a great deal of time in both and remember them fondly. I don't remember any difficulty issues with RG. Trust me, if a game developer saddles a game with a sadistic battle system, I immediately move on to something more user-friendly. I'm just not into punishment.
Im just recently starting this game and i absolutely love it. It was on my missed jrpg list lol. A hidden gem indeed but i didnt hear about it to much when it came out. I would of played this way more then i did FFXII and thats crazy because thats the exact game it had kind of reminded me of.
I love this channel thx for the recomendation
I have so many good memories of this game, but some mixed feelings too.
The game is so huge and so deep in many ways, but I feel like all the "Level 5-isms" are at their worst here: 60% of treasure chests are mimics, the character designs are more odd than interesting, the story feels rushed and some of the dungeons are... hoo boy, not fun.
Even so, the production quality and addictive nature of the weapon fusing, Insectron, or just the core gameplay loop simply can't be denied. This game still looks and plays timelessly
Great video with interesting facts. Ten years ago I played it on my PlayStation 2 but I never finished it because I was too tired of the dungeon design. Maybe I will give the game a second chance in future. :)
This is super nostalgic.
Often happens that good games are underrated, rogue galaxy is a perfect example of it 😢
They should have use the Dark Cloud 3 name... it might be sells more than using rouge galaxy name... or at least use
"Dark Cloud 3: Rouge Galaxy"
As the game name.
I agree
Skies of Arcadia too!
That game is so fucking awesome and packs a great deal of content and the exploration/discovery system is so exciting and satisfying!!
The level of detail present in this game is incredible ! btw, one of the best graphics on ps2.
Fully finished the European version of this game (twice) during the PS2 era. Got every single achievement possible EXCEPT the one asking you to kill a certain amount of every single enemy encountered during the game. No problem doing that even in the last "hidden" dungeon, but didn't notice i had missed completing just ONE enemy in the beginning. Since enemies "upgrade" when you go back to previous places, i could never finish that achievement and thus get Lilika's final costume... 😅 I'd love to see that game get a proper remaster, and would definitely buy it !
i play this on ps2 using component cables and component on a crt tv. looks HD and amazing with scan lines.
What you might not know is at the post credit it is said the remaining crew set out to their last heist for "ultimate treasure" which make me think they are dead since they are going to a really advanced planet to steal something important from that planet citizen
One of the few RPGs I never completed a long time ago since I played a burnt copy and it would always freeze at a certain point...Hey, I was a broke kid at the time and burning games was the only way I could play them lol
I remember the games with Blue color on the bottom of the DVD would stop working after some time, but the Yellow ones always worked forever 🤣
I wonder why nobody talks about rogue galaxy. Is by far one of the most important games in my life. Even today, almost 12 years after I first played it sometimes when I just want to chill I still just put Shadow of the sun on youtube and I just sit down and relax
started playing it on the ps4 again recently
Me too bud glad it was ported
me too :) rouge galaxy is great! I forgot how far I got on the ps2 version?
Same they should remaster it
I remembered my days spending my 5 hours collecting thos keystones leo king libra and the other one on veda this game is amazing! I like the concept exploring planets boss battles and quest so sad never have a rogue galaxy 2 :
Hey, I just bought this game last week. Haven't gotten to it yet, but I will after playing though Dtakengard 2.
Just got on sale half off on PSN (PS4) can’t wait to try it now
We need a remake and then a second one
Final Fantasy there’s some people who never played the series and who might not ever give it a try because it was a PS2 game. I agree not everything needs a remake but a remake will let the game be even more ambitious.
2:38 daaaannnnmmm I’m getting this for sure now wish this game got a snow area
Is really strange watch your videos, because recently you have been talking about RPGs that I have been playing... Rogue Galaxy was a good game, I started to play again on PS4. I'll hope to enjoy it again.Greetings from México.
This game was amazing i really love the blueprints system and hunting,was hoping for Rogue Galaxy 2 but it never happened
I think they said the same thing about Darksiders 3.
The game rogue galaxy/earliër development dark cloud 3, still has an extra reference to dark cloud 2/ dark chronicle! Other than the early found dc3 name files. The ghost kid in Steve is Max, from dark cloud 2 better known as Maximilian! You guys never noticed? I noticed it right away when i first played Rogue galaxy when it was released back then, and saw the ghost kid coming out when Steve contacted the doctor. His father.
Also more references as being dark cloud 3 to dark cloud 1&2 are the copy "purple" atla stone on the arm of Seed that was made from the human dna data on the tablet, and actually had to be the Atla stone to use in georama to build/solve the portal to eden. And Jaster, after beïng turned into the Eden soldier/ star god, and opened the gate of eden, they talk about a legend of the star god. Able to move entire cities. Well guess what, you had to place/move buildings and create cities in georama in dc 1&2. So the star god was actually Toan in dark cloud 1 /maximilian dc2 or that wizard in dc 1? With the help of the atla stone.
There you have it. Rogue galaxy ACTUALLY is dark cloud 3/ dark chronicle 2(as being a sequel to dark chronicle/dark cloud 2). Just look at it the way they changed dark cloud 2 to dark chronicle in the EU.
I also forgot to mention, the flying moon ship you unlock in dark cloud 1 for flying to yellow drops? The moon? That is also used in rogue galaxy as a transport for flying to other planets. And some swords do resemble some from dc 1&2.
I'm sad that I no longer have the full set that came with the demo disc (or if I do still have the cloth flag, I've got it packed up somewhere I haven't checked). Pretty sure I still have the poster/flyer that came with the disc, but misplacing that flag really disappoints me to this day.
Hey, at least I still have the _Chains of Olympus_ Playstation Underground demo UMD complete with the pendent (or whatever you'd call it). That was another amazing thing of the time, we don't get demos like that anymore. Last demo I recall getting in a similar fashion was for _Monster Hunter Tri_ which I think was a Gamestop exclusive.
Wow those cinematics for it's time resemble Nino Kuni 2! Which was release not too long ago. What a vision!
Its made by the same company, thats why it looks similar
This is still one of my all time favorite games!!
Great video i think it failed because it wasnt marketed enough for a new IP. It should of waited to release for the PS3 and PS2. That would of helped sales.
It also came out around the time Kingdom Hearts did so...it got overshadowed big time.
Oh my god, this is still my favorite game, I burned so many hours in the original, and now in the PS4 version. One day, hopefully, we’ll get a remaster, I hope.
I've just started playing this it's awesome so far
One of the best jrpg in the history, and the best game of level 5.
Tanks for this vídeo!
Level-5 did such a great job with Rogue Galaxy and Dragon Quest VIII.... I Hope they get a re-release they are 2 masterpiece of JRPG
I really enjoyed this game once upon a time.
I still haven't played this. I've wanted to for so long as well. It's on PS4 now, so no excuses!
I've seen this game on the PSN for ps4 quite a few times and always wrote it off. After watching this I think it just got bumped up before I play the dotHack games and the trails series.
I think the remastered of rogue galaxy from ps2 are a drop down graphic image for ps4. It would be fun if it created in same level as final Fantasy in ps 4. That is mind blown.
Correction: December 6th 2005 to January 30th 2007 is not 2 years. Its 1 year, and maybe 2 months if you round up
I remember trying to create all the weapons that I forgot about the main quest. LOL
right. this game is fckng awesome, the real of freedom. dont care about main quest. i feel like jaster is me, we can explore anytime we want u.u
There is only one thing that I want to know about that I didn't know previously about Rogue Galaxy and that is the fact that they will be working on Rogue Galaxy 2!
So, technically, we DID have Dark Cloud 3
A game which I still have yet to purchase, but it's on my list!
For my fellow RPG fans: RPG Black Friday sale news: Square Enix's store has tons of titles on sale for less than $4, including sealed PS1 games! I picked up FF IX, Origins, Chronicles, Anthology as well as Chrono Cross for less than $20! Ordered it in the morning and it already shipped by the afternoon! Switch eshop has some sweet RPG sales going on too..picked up the Grandia collection, Romance Saga 3, and Ys VIII.
This was without a doubt my favourite PS2 game.
I'm pretty curious to see the difference between the japanese versione and the international one in terms of difficulty, but nonetheless i thought it was quite the challenge (especially collecting those Hunter Coins ^^")
One interesting trivia you might not know regarding a mistranslation: in the Italian localization there was a big typo in the ingredients to make Duke Nightmare by putting the Adamon Raiser instead of the Demon Rouser (needless to say I got a little bit pissed by that, since I tried the "right combination" XD)
Have a nice day ;)
Yeah, I only got Duke Nightmare recently, due to me swearing years back that I'd avoid looking things up.
I never played Rogue Galaxy, but I gotta say it looks pretty good.
Its a litte slow to start from what I remember, the story isnt all that memorable but it is a fun game.
The Weapon Fusion and the Factory were the funniest gaming mechanics I have ever seen until then.
Unfortunately, what really bothered me was the unbalanced battle system.
I remember this one.
The story is so unique and fun
What a nostalgia.. :')
I think this game worthed the money that I game till the last cent .One of the best stories ever I didn't want it to end .
4:26... some of the songs you picked for the background are giving me ptsd...
I bought this game on PS4 recently haven’t had a chance to play much of it yet as on going through dark cloud and dark chronicle first then will get round to this. Also I never played wild arms 3 before and just bought of for PS4. Any tips and how long does it normally take to get through? Thanks
I played to the middle... must return to it.
would love a remaster in widescreen.
This game looks actually still quite good thanks to the cell shading graphics.
There were other games with expanded western releases which came as some kind of directors cut to japan afterwards.
Seeing how it got localized by Sony themselves I don't think it got the japanese voices in the western release?
I think I need to look how expensive it is.
Played it, following dark cloud 1 n 2. Great game, good story n concept, just that it took too much time, i stop half way after unlock factory function.
zenmclane It's a JRPG, it's 'supposed' to take up time. On top of that, this is one of the most content-rich JRPGs that I know of. I've poured over 100 hours into the game, and i still have a TON to do.
The only thing I remember about this gsme was... wanting to rush it dince I just kept making swords that 1-3 hit everything. There was no challenge after a while.
I remember playing this on my high school days almost 30+ hours..sadly the save file in my mem card got corrupted.. never got to finished.. maybe one day.. ill try again ..
I REALLY LOVED IT! It Is a pity they don't develope a more mature sequel, or even a chapter to enjoy its world
PS. Radiata Stories too... Great games left into the dirt
One thing I did know about rogue Galaxy is that my teammates die constantly.
I just recently started collecting for the ps2. I started with dark cloud 1 & 2 then recently found rogue galaxy. While both the dark clouds are great in their own regards, rogue galaxy is in another league. Hands down my favorite ps2 rpg. They did everything right IMO. Voice acting, companions, extensive equipment and all viewable in game and in cutscenes. 5 stars please come back level 5 and make another one please.
