Rogue Galaxy - The Dollar Store Version of Final Fantasy XII *Review*
2Rogue Galaxy, a game so exquisite that it's the Dollar Store equivalent of gaming. From the moment you start playing, you'll be transported to a world of unparalleled thrills and excitement, much like the feeling of walking through the Dollar Store aisles and discovering a treasure trove of off-brand goodies.
Just like the Dollar Store, Rogue Galaxy offers an extensive selection of items that are almost, kind of, sort of similar to their high-end counterparts. You'll find weapons and equipment that are just a step away from being legally distinct from those found in blockbuster RPGs. It's like the Dollar Store's own version of the legendary Excalibur sword, only slightly duller and made of flimsy plastic.
And let's not forget about the graphics in Rogue Galaxy. They're on par with the Dollar Store's finest merchandise—slightly pixelated, with colors that might make your eyes question their purpose in life. It's like witnessing a visual spectacle that could be mistaken for a relic from the early 2000s, but with a charm that can only come from a game trying its absolute best.
Now, let's talk about the storyline. Rogue Galaxy's narrative is a masterpiece of storytelling, just like the heartwarming tale you'll find on the back of a generic Dollar Store toy package. It's a captivating saga that will leave you wondering, "Wait, is this even legal?". The sheer audacity of the plot twists and character development will keep you entertained for minutes on end.
And the combat system! Oh boy, it's like navigating a minefield of unpredictable mechanics, much like the feeling of trying to assemble a Dollar Store piece of furniture without the instructions. Every button press is a surprise, as you never quite know what action will be performed. It's a test of skill, patience, and an exercise in creative problem-solving.
In summary, Rogue Galaxy is a gaming gem that rivals the Dollar Store's finest offerings. Its budget-friendly charm, questionable graphics, and enthralling storyline make it a must-play for connoisseurs of the gaming world. Just like the Dollar Store, it's a true testament to the wonders that can be found in the realm of discounted entertainment. So, grab your wallet, embrace the dollar store aesthetic, and get ready for an unforgettable gaming experience.

In all seriousness, the game started off great, yet the further I delved into it, the worse it became, which is why I'm stopping here. No sense in continuing with a game you don't enjoy, right? The combat is cumbersome and irritating, the storyline dragged on, much like the chapters, and you'll spend more time with inventory management during battle than actually fighting any enemies.
Level-5 will always have a place in my gaming library, if not for the masterpieces that were Dark Cloud 2 and Dragon Quest VIII. Those titles alone give the company immense standing. However, this game makes me think that those releases were more the exception, rather than the rule.
Rogue Galaxy is a game of its time, but unlike Final Fantasy XII, everything it does, it does worse. Just like the Dollar Store; it's serviceable, but there are plenty of better options out there if you're willing to spend a couple extra bucks.
Sorry Level-5:/
