What game am I thinking of??

[Pumpkin]

There is an RPG that haunts my dreams. I played when I was little but I couldn't figure it out and didn't get far.

It was, I'm pretty sure, for the PS2. I seem to remember some weird world map system, which is the thing I couldn't figure out? Basically it wasn't like, leave town, walk around type of deal but more like Suikoden III where you exit on to a map and select a destination, although it wasn't the same as in the Suikoden III game.

The art style was kind of catroony if I remember correctly. And I'm thinking the cover had little rectangles with the characters eyes lined up on the side, one under the other

Sorry this isn't a lot to go off of, but I've been wondering about this game for a while now and I just can't think of anything else
EDIT:
I've had very little sleep, can someone please fix the thread title >.<
