Prepare to journey through a living, breathing fantasy world in the Square-Enix/tri-ACE co-production Radiata Stories. Explore a living, breathing fantasy world where time passes and NPCs all have their own daily routines. Recruit allies and pick sides in the war between humans and the faerie. The future's riding on your decisions.

"Radiata Stories is an extremely engaging and unique RPG," said Ichiro Otobe, president and COO, Square Enix, Inc. "Gamers will be drawn into the game for both the beautiful, interactive environment as well as the melancholic story. I think gamers will really enjoy the great balance to the serious story that is brought on by the humor that is sprinkled throughout the game."

The tale begins in the kingdom of Radiata, which lies in a world where humans and fairy creatures coexist. It is here that the protagonists, Jack and Ridley, meet for the first time. While Jack seeks to become a knight, Ridley must accept her fate in becoming one. Destinies are realized when a war erupts between the humans and the fairy creatures and threatens to end the world of Radiata.

In Radiata Stories, enter a never-before-seen living, breathing world where all of the characters live their own lives and the passage of time brings about remarkable changes. Your choices including which side you will fight for determine which of over 175 individuals will lend you a hand in your journey. Precise, easy-to-use controls allow you to add strategies to real-time battles through various changes in your party's formation.

Explore a fully interactive and animated environment by kicking objects! Kick chairs, trees, rocks, monsters, townsfolk, chickens, etc. to earn items or engage in battle. In addition, collect and equip a variety of alternate costumes and weapon types for Jack, each with its own set of stats and special attributes, including cameos from past tri-Ace titles.

Radiata Stories, rated "T" for Teen, will be available at North American retailers for a suggested retail price of $49.99 (USD).
