[salinger]

it me first suik and i understand that i need to recruiting 108 characters  to get the good ending. sure is sound good to have huge party like that but it hard to do so? i mean i dont want to play a game of 60 hours only to get a bad ending like a losser and watch it on youtube. i get must of them in the flow of the story? and i just after me first battle as leader of the Barows army my army :) so how far im in the game? i hope i only in the start...

ps. i sure most of you alredy beat the game but i must to say that those that not this in not only the best rpg i play on my ps2 it one of the best i play in years! and big thanks to dude for not stop to praise the game when i was thiking it goona to suck

Wrong forum for one...

You don't need 108 for a good ending. The general ending is considered the "good" ending. However, there is a perfect ending, which means hunting down all 108 characters, as well as certain other choices being made. It isn't possible to get all 108 in just a casual playthrough, some are time-sensitive, others must be asked several times, and still others need you to recruit certain characters before they join.

The best way i suppose is using a walkthrough. i honestly would have missed like have of the important things in most games.
