This game was masterfully made.  It seems like a cross between final fantasy, zelda for N64, and Secret of Mana for PS1, minus the downcomings that made Secret of Mana a Mana a terrible game.  You have one town to work with at a time.  Each town has a dungeon where you collect the various parts of the town which has been destryoyed.  Then you create the town as you see fit, collecting rewards when you finish each persons house.  The fighting is like that of zelda, 3rd person with a sword ect.  There are 6 playable characters.  Each with  different weapons and stats.  You play one character at a time but switch between them at will.  One very cool feature in this game is that as you build up your weapons you can turn them into an attachment that then adds the weapons attributes to your new weapon.  Giving the player the goal of creating the ultimate weapon.
This game is challenging and extensive, despite it's 50+ hours of play it doesn't get boring.  This is the first true ROG for the PS2 that is worth getting.
Also this game is worth playing again and again because the dungeon is re-generated each time you play.  This doesnt mean you have to re-locate every time you shut off your PS2 or go back to town, it has a feature that lets you go back to which level you left off.
If your looking for a game to fill in many empty hours with joy and excitement then this is the game for you.
