 Classic, in my book. Oct 20, 2009
By Ketai
Well If you played Mana Khemia 1, then you'll definitely love this one. One of the best games I would consider to be on the withering years on the play station 2 console. It has a nice variety of characters in which if you get enough, you can switch in battle. This game reminds me entirely of golden sun, except its not as great as golden sun, it still has memorable great battle music and similar battle systems. I love how it comes with the ost, that makes it worth buying even more, I wish most of the great games came with the ost. The gameplay is 2-D, Running around and on a overworld like map, seeing blob like monsters then encountering them like those in Tales of Symphonia. There are missions that pertain to the plot of each character, and those for just free roaming the world, and side missions for more items/cutscenes/character development arcs. They're skill tree's that through alchemy, you can obtain the item then gaining the skill for the person of choice. Overall, to me its a great game. I suggest buying the first one before buying the second one (duh), so you'd understand the plot.

Please check your RPG appetite before playing Oct 11, 2009
By D. A. Theisen
Note: From the original review, I've changed my rating to a 4/5 from a 3. After dedicating a lot (tens of hours) of extra play into it, some of the more quirky and technical aspects of the game pieced themselves together. This further supports my review title, however.
In the dying years of the PS2, the English market has finally been seeing a number of small-company Japanese RPG games that often play to niche markets. Generally simplified as "JRPGs", this is both an adored and loathed term in the video game universe. How do you define one? "It looks animated" is nice and vague, but works. For the most part, you either like them or you don't. Some games have more popular appeal (like the Disgaea or Persona series), but there are dozens of essentially unknown games floating about for the hardcore fan to enjoy. This game, despite some attempts at originality, simply can't find its way out of the grab bag of JRPGs.
Characters? Story? Only so much can be expected. As with many JRPGs we have a high school type of setting, and characters are variably intelligent or mature in a variety you'd normally expect at that age. It can be very frustrating to see people complain about characters without understanding that a lot are just deliberately placed there as a generic role or stereotype fillers. To try to offer a different spin, Fall of Alchemy actually has two different plotlines that let you pick which main character you'd like to be before starting. Sadly the selections are terribly unbalanced, with the male protagonist angle of fighter and boytoy Raze offering a much better experience. Either direction you take, you're confined into the same environment by your school and the "main" plot events and story characters are shared between both. Things are even written cleverly enough to have a good rivalry between the two parties.
Time progression in the game is separated by weeks, and you'll have either school assignments to complete or free time to waste. With the school as your base, it's actually a good way to open new areas and slowly teach the more advanced game features. Assignments start easy, but eventually lead to the obligatory big monster boss fights. As its a game in this series (and with the title), the other lead aspect of the game is Alchemy synthesis which is how you'll be coughing up literally every piece of new equipment and medicine after you begin. Free Time is given after you complete certain class grade requirements and should mostly be used to view the optional character development lines.
Right, time for players to get weeded out into those who actually want to buy the game or not. Alas, it suffers from almost every generic JRPG 'drawback': A slow start for battle and characters, a highly exaggerated concept of a story, a combat system that gets hectic and wildly complicated as you move on, in-game features that end up as more of a pain than the added fun they were meant to be, and she sheer time investment needed to complete. If you're used to this all, there's no particular reason you should avoid this game. There's just no special thing that stands out. This series is a part of the larger Gust development team of RPGs that would take far too long to explain in a small space here.
The combat system is actually pretty slick after you learn the ins and outs. Emphasis is placed on supporting attacks by other allies and swapping positions on the front line. Not all abilities are instantaneous and have charge times, and others are elemental effects that occur a few times. Though this is the battle "gimmick" of this series, it'll still wind up the same in the end... where for nearly all your normal encounters you'll use the same general abilities over and over again. The boss battles can be both exciting and strangely hectic at the same time, as swapping is meant to be continuous, actions speed is halved, and special combination attacks are thrown in. Sometimes I found myself just winning without really knowing what happened, but it was fun nonetheless. It's a bit much for the eyes on the defunct PS2, though there are no framerate or speed issues anywhere.
If your goal is just expanding your RPG collection and some pretty cheap thrills, go for it. 90% of the people who are researching the game probably already have a good idea how much they'll enjoy this before they ever begin. Such is the universe of the JRPG, but there are better games out there you'd likely want to look into first if you're new to the concept. The other 10% of you, hopefully this explains things at least a little.

 Not playable on my ps3 Aug 19, 2011
By Bliss
"Photographer/Girl Spaz"
I ended up playing it on my ps2, and it was fun, but I couldn't get it to play on my ps3 even though other ps2 games have given me no issues. Just a heads up! I do realize it is a ps2 game, but this is the first time I had dealt with an issues so I wanted to let others know..
