Absolute banger game I played when it came out on PS2 and picked up for the PS4 when it came back out. Rogue Galaxy is so enjoyable in its world building and character diversity that it didn’t even dampen the experience when I had to grind 800 fights to get Jaster to level 99 for the plat.
The end game, like many rpgs can get a little repetitive in the trash mob fights (break barrier, LV3 AOE spell) but the bosses are diverse and interesting to fight. Insectron is a fun little chess mini game and the Factory is a very cool break from saving the galaxy.
All in all, if you have PS+ play this game.

Joguei quando criança... Não lembro muito da história mas lembro que era amplo e bonito.
this game could be good but dungeons exist and are ugly
Definitely a flawed JRPG - for most of the random encounters, the best option is to use an all-targeting ability to wipe the enemies out in seconds, rather than actually try and fight them, whereas the game's solo bosses can be quite unexpected difficulty spikes. On top of that, the story leans pretty hard into cliches. However, the weapon upgrading system is a ton of fun, and I really liked exploring the worlds, and playing the bug-raising minigame, so on balance it was a great experience.
Pretty good. I liked the cutscene direction, the animations, the music.
Unfortunately, it has some of the worst dungeon design I've seen. They are just long.
The action combat is almost great, but the balance makes it just good enough. You end up spamming so many potions because of the ridiculous damage you take. The game knows this and gives away money and puts shops in the dungeons to make sure you're always stocked. I really liked how seamless the transition is from combat to exploration. The enemies just appear and disappear, no battle transition.
Once you get a bit into the game, you can easily break any encounter using aoe spells or buff abilities.
The voice casting is surprisingly great. I loved hearing Steve Blum as Zegram. There are other big names here too like Yuri Lowenthal. Pretty good dub for a game of this time.
I don't regret playing through this game, but it could have been so much better.

Junto a Dragon Quest VIII, el mejor JRPG de su generación. Adoro Rogue Galaxy y no me canso de rejugarlo con el pasar de los años. Banda sonora increíble, personajes carismáticos, una trama que te mantiene enganchado desde el principio y un sistema de combate de acción que funciona a las mil maravillas.
Do fundo do coração: eu realmente queria ter gostado mais desse jogo.
Un gran jrpg da giocare assolutamente. Sembra stupido all'inizio poi la storia riserva svariati twist.
Fuck that final boss I don't feel like doing all that bullshit, I literally was just maining Zegram and Lilika so the rest of the crew got no love from me after the 30-hour mark. the weapon leveling system is actually a fucking slog holy shit, if you play this you'll see why I only focused on like 3-4 characters managing all that bullshit is actually headache-inducing and just straight-up not fun. the game has its redeeming features like the world setting and characters but after that 30-40 hour mark shit becomes a slog that just wastes your time with an average story and repetitive gamely.
I had way more fun with this game than I thought I would going in. The weapon leveling/combining system absolutely scratched an itch for me, and helped make the awfully long dungeons more bearable with something to grind towards. The difficulty spikes each new area could get really annoying, as did the enemies that required breaking barriers or jumping to inflict damage, but once you started grinding high enough level weapons and unlocking more powerful screen-wiping abilities it became negligible. The aforementioned terrible dungeon design and enemy difficulty spikes were really my only gripes with this game. Played with HD textures, so it looked absolutely stunning. The voice acting was good to great, the weapon and item systems were fun, and there were honestly so many different mechanics to sink your teeth into that I avoided two of them entirely and still beat the game no problem. Story was a little cliched, but also still really fun and I enjoyed running around the galaxy with these characters. Looks like there's some postgame content, so I'm sure I'll jump back into this one again at some point. Highly recommend giving it a try!
