@ROBO,
I agree with you, but think there are more like us than we imagine. It was to me a combination of weight of expectation ( it was hyped as the PS2's first great WRPG in some quarters ) and bad pop up that hurt the first game, along with it being very PC in look and nature,All said and done it was underneath everything a very good game, but the second one even though it had a different style was better still and should have been a best seller.
