Ephemeral Fantasia: Not an epic rpg like Final Fantasy but it'll do.

It's been nearly a year since PS2 came out and it really needs good rpgs! All the other rpgs for PS2 like Evergrace or Eternal Ring are pretty much average. Even the anticipated Dark Cloud wasn't good enough to be a great rpg. Anyway, the newest rpg is Ephemeral Fantasia. When I rented it in Blockbuster, I thought that the rpg was gonna suck but it didn't. The game's better than most of the rpgs for PS2. The infinite time loop thing was cool and the minigames with Mouse's guitar(forgot it's name) were awesome. The graphics aren't that bad; it's okay for a PS2 game. Controls were a cinch. Sound was ok and the "guitar playing" is a plus for music. For the fun factor, a 4 describes Fantasia for its time loop and the side quests. All in all, it's a good rpg. Not an epic rpg like Final Fantasy but it'll do.
