i remember play treasure of the rudra when i be 15 year old . it be my first japanese import game i have play . i say that it a shame that rudra do not get release outside of asia . graphic ( 4/5 ) represent the graphic and while not as stunning a bahamut lagoon graphic and be still beautifully craft . keita amemiya be a wonderful artist . he can create beautiful ( and so ugly theyre beautiful ) character . i want to see amemiya do more game with square enix . and the sprite be animate this time and not stationary like they be in final fantasy iv and v and vi . but the weird thing be that the enemy look all tough and terrify and while your hero be all chibi and cute look . it come off kind of odd to me . sound ( 5/5 ) representrudra have a wonderful soundtrack . some tune sound upbeat while others sound just terrify . the music really suit the game . i can not picture it be do with another soundtrack . maybe a revamped soundtrack and but keep the song and composer . gameplay ( 3/5 ) represent this be the only low point of rudra . though the magic system be unique ( you can create your own spell ) and it also have a few flaw in it . one represent you can easily overpower your enemy with the mantra you learn and make some of the bos battle a little too easy at time . and two represent the hero do not have their own unique ability or magic pool . the enemy do and and i think that just unfair . at least with a possible remake and they could probably fix the game play and give you the option of how challenge the game should be ( eg . easy and normal and hard and expert mode ) . story and character ( 5/5 ) represent this be where rudra shine and the story and the character . yes and i know it an ecological plot similar to nausicaa of the valley of the wind ( which be say to be an inspiration for this game and accord to amemiya ) and but just because there be an anti pollution theme in a story do not always make it a bad story . picture nausicaa with people be possess by devil and dead come back to life and god like being call rudra battle for supremacy and the hero path to godhood by defeat the four majestic rudra . if you call that boring and then you might as well be dead . my personal favorite character be riza and the main heroine of the game . she set quite a good example for girl gamers and much good than bratz or disney princess . riza stand up for what she believe be the right thing and be protective of her friend and be not submissive at all and nor do she pout and act all ditsy and prissy . yeah and i know riza be quite busty ( look at her official artwork . she have a bust ) and but there be more to riza than good look or big boob ( unlike other game heroine coughtifalockhartcoughmy second favorite would be surlent and the young blue haired sorcerer . he very mysterious and enigmatic and plus he good look and have a sweet personality . it just too bad he keep on get possess by evil spirit and so possess that he need to get a new body ( yes and it true . ) . the only character i dislike be sion ( the one dimensional cloud strife wannabe ) and pipin ( a spoil brat claim to be a reptilian prince ) . other than that and the character development be excellent and both the plot and character be very memorable . replay ( 4/5 ) represent despite it linear nature and rudra do have some side quest . there be a lot you can do in this game as well . overall ( 4 half out of 5 ) represent i recommend treasure of the rudra . despite it flaw and it be a likable game with a unique plot and intriguing character . it up there with bahamut lagoon and seiken densetsu 3 and final fantasy iv and illusion of gaia a the best super famicom rpgs ever make .
