Like many children in the early 2000’s I spent a good deal of my childhood indoors. My parents were often out of the house because of work, so in a lot of ways I was raised by television and video games. I poured thousands of hours into my PlayStation 2 and its fantastic catalog of virtual worlds.

Despite being exposed to a massive library of games, few have ever impacted me the way Radiata Stories did. It’s been over fifteen years since the initial release and I still find myself going back to Radiata Stories because of its unrivaled charm. Thanks to the internet I have found a community of people like me who have a special fondness for the world of Radiata.

The only blip that makes this discovery somewhat bittersweet is the knowledge that the hardware that allows all of us to enjoy the game has already begun aging out. Discs and disc readers aren’t meant to last forever, and because of that the world of Radiata may soon become inaccessible. Which is why I ask that Square Enix and tri-Ace consider adding Radiata Stories to the PlayStation Store, Nintendo eShop, Microsoft Store, and/or any other platform where games can be purchased digitally.

Radiata Stories is worth preserving and this would allow it to live on past it’s physical medium. If you’re like me and want to see this beautiful story preserved, then I urge you to sign this petition and encourage your friends to do the same. We can work together to show Square Enix and tri-Ace that there is still a market for Radiata Stories!
