Has anyone here ever heard of Infinite Undiscovery?

Infinite Undiscovery was an JRPG released by Square Enix a little over a year before Final Fantasy XIII debuted. And oddly enough...it feels like it should BE a Final Fantasy game of some sort.

The game had most of the makings of a Final Fantasy game, though with a more live combat system similar to Crystal Chronicles.

If you have not heard of this game, I highly recommend it. Especially with the narrative the game presents to you.
"An evil kingdom has begun to chain the moon in place as a means to drain power from the celestial object. And wherever the chains are mounted to on the ground, monsters begin to appear, bringing with them pain and despair. There is a resistance of fighters that seek to undo this madness. And you... you are the unfortunate soul who just happens to be the doppelganger of the leader of this resistance. Whether your musician character likes it or not, you are now part of this fight too. Pick up your sword and defend yourself, fluteboy!"

I am honestly surprised this wasn't just a Final Fantasy spin-off and instead was its own stand-alone JRPG game.


EDIT -
If you haven't heard of this game before, I am happy to have revealed its existence to you guys.

I played this a little back in the day but honestly, all I can remember was finding a way to buy/sell for a profit and having it completely breaking the game.

This game, along with games like Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssee did go a long way to try and help Xbox compete with Sony in terms of RPG presence in those first few years before games like Fallout 3 changed the landscape.

Edit: This post also seems to be in the wrong area of the forum.

Where would it go in the forum then? Because I looked around and this seemed to be the closest fit.

Also yeah, it did have an exploitable shop system; but so do a few other RPGs; even Fallout and Elder Scrolls were like that. I remember rolling in Caps and Septims because of just collecting everything of value and just buying the entire stock of the vendor while losing only a few caps. And with Skyrim where you can mine resources and smith materials of your own, it was easy to make it to 100,000 septims before level twenty.

This is Final Fantasy general and this game is not Final Fantasy related. Gold Saucer is where it should be.

No harm, no foul though. I'm just letting you know for future reference. The mods will just move it once they see it.

I really did give IU a go but found it VERY bland... The combat wasn't too bad but there were often tims i would get caught unfairly prior to making a pre-empt attack. I got as far as disc 2 I rememebr that much but just lost motivation for it... All i really rememebr is the Dinner Dance
