Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure

Fun but easy game that would as a good starting point for tactical RPGS. However the dungeons and caves do need more variation

O jogo é bem divertido. As músicas e as ilustrações são muito bonitas.

If I had played this game when it first came out I think I would have enjoyed it more playing it now. Some of the controls and visuals are lacking charm with todays 'modern expectations.

This was a great game to play through, I liked the story and the game is pretty easy to play through although i did sometimes get lost to what i was meant to do but apart from that it was great and i'd recommend picking this up to play and i will be playing the others.

This was a very cute game, though a little on the easy side (you can tell this was an early NIS title).

A NIS sempre me surpreende com suas histórias e formatos de jogos. Um RPG musical é absurdo para quem pensa dentro da caixinha mas a NIS faz Rhapsody ser uma aventura completa, com uma trama simples porém não menos interessante. Você pode achar a história um clichê invertido (A garota salvando o principe) mas o ponto é o desenvolvimento dos personagens, suas interações e o quanto muito podem e serão cativantes. Comédia, drama, rivalidade e até uma pitada de terror deixa o jogador imerso nos personagens ao ponto de ignorar a história principal, como se o verdadeiro foco fosse no quão brilhante os personagens, mesmo no limite da simplicidade, podem ser tão marcantes. Obs: O jogo lhe entrega personagens femininas sem forçar panfletagem nenhuma, muito pelo contrário. Não suporto militância em jogos, não importa o lado. Aqui, você tem uma história feita com carinho, e não como instrumento de emburrecimento.

My childhood, fantastic game, sweet, funny and emotional. Gameplay is great and if you need a feel good game, this is it.

I'm really glad that I found this little gem. A little research tells me this came out back in 1998 for the original Playstation and I feel had I had it then I probably wouldn't have appreciated how truly wonderful this RPG is. This is a beautifully crafted RPG. The Musical Score is genuinely really good, a little too up-beat for me a lot of the time but there are a few darker beats that come into play as you get deeper into the game. My only real quibble is the Dungeons. Now i'm an Oldschool RPG fan. I know the drill, I know the score. It's Pen and Paper time as we draw up our own maps in the caves/dungeons but for a lot of people newer to the scene who've had the joys of those quality of life improvements that can be problematic and put people off. I implore you all not to though, this is just as good an RPG as Breath of Fire IV. You owe it some time, and it's not much time either, I beat this in 10hrs flat. Probably could've been sooner had the Dungeons had maps.

I buy this game on every platform! First purchased on the PS2 this version worked out some of the bugs from back then. Love the music, gameplay, and ability to befriend both puppets and sometimes monsters! Gotta catch 'em all!

I grabbed this game as the description said that Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure is “a game that laid the foundation for the beloved Disgaea series,” which is one of my favorite game series of all time ever since I've played Disgaea 2 on my PSP. Without getting into spoilers and going into a tangent, this game is CUDDLY AND CUTE. Sure, it might not be the hardest JRPG out there (the only real difficulty spike is the second last boss fight), but everything from the music, the characters, the plot is super duper heartwarming. Add the short runtime of the game (around 8 hours if you only play for the main plot and don't do sidequests), I could say that this is such a refreshing bite-sized JRPG that anybody who likes JRPG should at least try to finish once. Oh, and the musical part? I'm not much of a musical fan myself, but I didn't feel like those parts are cringe. In fact, I think they're cute. There's not that many moments where people burst out into a song, but when they do, it's really cute. Totally would recommend playing Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure!
