Product Description

One wants the Dewprism to revive his lost sister. The other wants the Dewprism to force her way atop the throne. Which will you help? In Threads of Fate, you must choose between the two main characters and their respective quests. Rue holds off challengers with his magical sword that allows him to assume the form and possess the ability of several monsters. Petulant princess Mint's boomerang shoots a spray of disabling magic. These characters' threads of fate often intersect and provide some amusing results.

Threads of Fate is a real-time 3-D role-playing game where the action pauses only so you can select spells from a circular menu.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Old Squaresoft Game
Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2013

I remember playing the demo of this game as a kid, and now that I own it - I must say that twelve years later... I love it just as much. Sure, the game goes by quickly. However, with two different characters to play through and a special ending to get, and all the extras that you can find, the game can take a little while.
I feel that this game frequently gets overlooked by RPG players, and I think that even though it's a bit quirky, it's still a great game and asset to anyone's collection.

3.0 out of 5 stars I question Squaresoft's games
Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2000
Squaresoft used to be considered the bomb games to own. If you didn't own a few Square games, you didn't have a library. I question why Square let this game even get past the design stage. The packaging is at least honest this time. The backgrounds are impressive (not jaw dropping though.) with only minor "shifting" and cracking, but this is a limitation with the ancient PSX hardware and not so much a fault with the game. World size is somewhat lacking. Towns tend be extraordinarily small, especially for this type of game. As well as the exploration and battle areas. After playing games with comparatively huge worlds (Spryo 2 for PSX or Zelda for the N64) this game seems to sorely lack in areas to explore. No amount of beautiful backgrounds can save a game that has a smaller virtual world than my own living room. Exploring is severely limited. Make sure that you pick up everything before moving on to the next screen. Forgetting something means you won't be able to go back and pick it up. This game has a huge potential to blow other RPG's out of the water, and this is one of a number of faults that will prevent it from becoming a classic.
The battling system is a saving feature. The fights are truly "live" (not done in special areas like Legend of Mana). With a quick menu design, changes are done quickly without ruining the rhythm of the battle. The Menu Rings really should have been used through out all the menus to maintain consistency. Hopefully the next big Square game will have better consistency. Alignment with the weapons and enemies is an issue and the "auto-focus" feels like it was thrown in at the last minute. But it's a last minute thing that helps a great deal. Too bad the battle areas feel like I'm fighting in a hallway. Oh well, I have no real complaints about the battle controls other than it feels unpolished.
The choice of having two characters to chose from with wildly different play styles is a big plus. With plenty of story to lead the player through the adventure, buying this game won't leave you too bored to play through again with the other character. Unfortunately this leads me to my last gripe. There seems to be a horrible trend among RPG games that they are all story and no game play. The story/play balance is rotten to say the least. You'll spend most of your time mashing the (X) button just to get through the tons of dialogue instead of actually battling creatures. What battles there are have nicely balanced baddies.
This game is wonderful game for the younger Playstation/N64 generation. Many younger players will not know what great RPG's were like. For the older players (anybody from the Snes/Genesis/TG16 generation or before.), it would be best to save your money for something else unless you're a diehard RPG'er. The game lacks many of the elements that made past RPG's shine like gems. To compare, this gem is uncut and unpolished. Six more months of PLANNING would have made this game the greatest diamond in the U.S. Too bad Square, better planning next time.

2.0 out of 5 stars Another big let-down from Square!
Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2000
After playing the demo version of this game, I was sure the complete game would be a blast. The demo offered clean graphics and quick gameplay, though it was hampered by an incredibly simplistic story. Still, it made me want to play the game.
After renting "Threads of Fate," though, I have to say that Square has let me down again. Though this one's not nearly as bad as some of their other bombs ("Legend of Mana" and "SaGa Frontier"), "Threads of Fate" is still a far cry from a good game.
The major faults of "Threads of Fate" include the boring dialogue, skimpy storyline, bad camera angles, and awkward control. To put it simply -- you have to get through a lot of nonsense just to get to the gameplay, but even that isn't so hot.
You'll run into lots of annoying features in the battle mode, such as zoomed-in shots that prevent you from navigating effectively and annoying jumps or unclear exits.
There is some fun, though -- the battles themselves aren't too bad, though they end up as hack-and-slash fests more than anything else. Having two characters to play is one of the game's few saving graces. It's especially fun playing as Rue and changing into the enemies you just killed.
All in all, Square is starting to slip, in my opinion, and games like this only prove my point. "Threads of Fate" is worth a rental, but don't expect anything grand.

I had heard about Threads of Fate through my girlfriend, and everywhere I looked it was too pricy so I got a deal here. The game is great, just wish it was a BIT longer, it takes you on an adventure of either a confused boy, on a search to bring back a woman he loves as a SISTER, or as a misfortunate Princess who lost her throne, from fighting, to mazes, it's really a great game!!
