        SO2gays seem to think the story of their game is great, when the reality is the story of every single SO game is bottom of the barrel generic animu shit of ancient evil has awakened, ESPECIALLY for 2, the same tier as Tales.
        3 tried something different but I can understand why that filtered half the fanbase.
        You play them for the fun gameplay.

          I like 3 too, but i also understand why people liked the flair of 1 and 2 would be put off, it's a bit of a change in looks and presentation. I'm personally not a big fan of 1 and 2 for that reason, but i recognize they're enjoyable games.

        By far the best raw gameplay in the series, only held back by the fact that it was mobile exclusive, and the gacha system being a typical shitty gacha system where certain characters were limited time only.

      Pretty insane that the only game in that franchise that actually had more than one planet with multiple fields was The Last Hope of all games. It's like if Xenoblade 2 was leaving you stuck on a single titan.
      They should change the name of the franchise because you never fricking explore a star ocean in those.

                that one is just a town and a cave where you meet Cliff
                the games call them planets but forr all intents and purposes, they are barely one town's worth of exploration.

          The fact that it mirrors academic grading is not our fault, it's the way things are scored. Game publishers have ad contracts with major media publications that basically stipulate their games cannot receive lower than a 7 so long as they are working games, which is pretty much all games these days. It's very, very rare that we get something like Alien Colonel Marines or Final Fantasy XIV 1.0. So, when 7 is basically the lowest score a working game can get, it's not a good score, it means it's a notch above failing. You think "wow, that's still pretty good" because that's what you're supposed to think. Because reviews are ads for products, and you are a mindless consumer. You never stop to realize that the bottom half of the review scale is virtually unused. I can think of 3 instances when I've ever seen a meta below 5.0.

          Shouldn't HALF of all games be below 5 if you think the scale is purely linear metrics? Viewing it in terms of academics is thus correct, because that is how the scale has been used by reviewers.

          Time jannies is a valid complaint because they were a fricking moronic, self-indulgent plot contrivance, and even if they're now gone, they still tainted the experience. You can never erase that they WERE part of the remake. Other annoyances include how frustratingly slow and padded everything was in order to stretch out what was a short few hour experience in the original to a full length game. Hojo's lab in particular stands out. The horrific graphical issues of the original release (even if it was eventually fixed in the port for later gen consoles, the original experience is still marred, and still unfixed on PS4). And lastly they kneecapped the character of Sephiroth by immediately introducing him in the story and repeatedly having him show up to antagonize and spook Cloud like some B-grade horror movie monster; simultaneously spoiling the significant build up of his character in the original, and the whole plot point of Cloud's memory and identity issues.

            To be fair, Sephiroth was mentioned about 40 mins into the original which is actually sooner then he comes up in the remake. But I do agree they overused him. My main gripe with remake is how its so linear and so funneling. Feels more like Uncharted then FF.

      This game is AWFUL, legit one of the worst game I played, it's basically a dungeon crawler so basic that it doesn't even feature spells or MP (it has spells but they aren't spells in the classic sense, they are treated like a 2nd different kind of weapon) there are no graphics outside of a map that looks like it was drawn by one dude obsessed with D&D
      The OST is made out of one guy who plays rock version of classical music that are ear splitting and everytime you start a battle, you have to hear the same 5 notes of "night on bald mountain" and you slowly go insane

    All you need to know about this game is what it looks like graphically.

    Yes, the minimum for Star Ocean is massively higher than Elden Ring's recommended.
    No, this game is not actually open world. It is all large areas separated by loading screens.

    >A report in the Japanese industry news outlet Gamebiz suggests that tri-Ace, developer of the Star Ocean and Valkyrie Profile series, is having financial difficulties. In essence, the disclosures show that despite turning an operating profit of more than 171 million yen (about $1.18 million USD), project cancellations, development delays, and a lack of new work coming in resulted in an overall loss of more than 684 million yen (about $4.73 million USD). Sales also amounted to about 1.25 billion yen (about $8.64 million USD), though this figure is down 42% from the previous year.

      Sorry but I can't defend any Star Ocean after TEoT either. Maybe this one's dufferent, but the previous ones were boring, uninspired and unpolished messes obviously made to make a quick buck off the Tales Of fans.

      Combat is pretty much the only thing Star Ocean as a series has going for it, not even hardcore SO gays can praise the cast and story with a straight face in any of the games.

          No, he was fairly certain talking about Star Ocean, Tales literally holds japanese fairs where thirsty fujos just want to see to their favorite male characters do silly shit with their VAs, nothing of sorts ever happened with Star Ocean, not a single character had ever amounted to any sort of popularity to earn a fan base of their own to the point Tri-Ace holds conventions based around them.

      The second game is the one most people know
      The skill system where you learn all sort of shit (there's even a skill called "divination" which let you talk with the game programmer) and the crafting system (which at the time was a unique concept) are cool, the character are fun too and include this mechanical e-girl and a guy cursed to have 2 dragons on his shoulder which he use for special attack

      The series sorta died after the third game even though square-enix seems fixated to keep it going

                Hm. The Last Remnant is a SaGa game. If you are unfamiliar with SaGa, this means nothing to you. If you are familiar then you know that
                (bad greentexting and bad English ahead)
                >there is no level up
                >instead, you get stats after fights, and you spark (learn) skills during the combat
                >here you also upgrade skills in combat (the more you use them, the better they become)
                >this game has BR; BR is battle rank and every few fights BR goes up
                >higher BR means that enemies will become stronger, but do not worry - this doesn't mean you should avoid fights, instead, you fight in the area you're in as long as you get stats
                >after you stop receiving stats or learn new skills, stop fighting in that area
                >it is always better to ''mark'' several enemies on the map and start fight against them then to start a fight against a single enemy group
                >as long as you start a fight with a great disadvantage aka low morale, THE BETTER (it means there is a high chance of learning / sparking new skills and/or stats going up)
                >Mr. Dig is useful, very useful, use him in every dig location (there is no downside of using him)
                >when a party member asks you to go and look for material he or she needs, say yes, but in most cases just ignore them after this lol
                >NEVER and I mean never try to make a group specifically for healing; it's better to have 1 or 2 healrs in every group / union than try and make one that is focused on healing
                >use leaders only, frick off soldiers
                >use characters who have Hex skills; later in the game you will learn good shit like Cachexia which is almost a must have against soem stronger bosses
                >the more sidequests you do, the stronger your last battle will be (this is no joke, if you do all sidequests, the last boss will be hard)
                >always talk to NPCs as a simple conversation can make new area to appear, or quest, etc.

                I am aware of the SaGa series, but never played any one of them. Takai, XVI's director used to work with them before moving to XIV. From what I understood, SaGa is a lot "harder" than your regular JRPG. And no, I'm installing the PC version. Don't know which version its based off though. Anyways, thanks.

                It really isn't, it's just...different. I mean, recent remasters (like Romancing SaGa 2 and 3) added NG+ which can be started at any point, aka if you think you fricked up you can always restart the game while keeping the equipment you previously obtained and skills you learned.
                You really can't screw yourself over in TLR. I played it without even knowing wtf is battle rank and I beat it.
                PC version is more polished, and current gen versions (PS4 and Switch, not sure if there's Xbox version) are based off PC version as far as I know. You're good.

                SaGa's harder in the sense that it uses unusual systems and there's a lot of mechanical depth, but like all games, you can just trim down the necessary knowledge to just a couple of things if you want to beat the games, which also applies to TLR, most of the depth in the games is just for RP flavour, or flexing.
                Most people get filtered by SaGa because it doesn't treat you like a mentally impaired bonobo, you'll have to learn how to play on your own and pay attention, if that's what you like then the series will be pretty easy and enjoyable to you, if you dislike using your head then you'll probably hate the games and think they're bullshit.

      Because talent. A company doesn't make things, the people working for them are.
      In this case, the game has character design by the Street Fighter guy.
      It is very good as far as the drawings go
      The problem is whoever is doing those ingame character models. I prefer these dolls over realistic photoscanned crap, but yes it could have been better, closer to the original character design.

      >assassinating a game with sexy art
      The game itself is already doing that without outside interference, Akira Nishitani's art is being raped with the horrible in-game models.

        It sucks the face models are horrible but they approved sexy art.

        >at least they put some fanservice.
        Where? This Star Ocean is sanitized as hell, it got CERO B in Japan.

        Sexy art is approved to be modeled sad no e-girl and don't know how heavy fanservice will be since Cero B as you said which is reason I didn't bother to buy it. C would've been acceptable but that swimsuit girl isn't playable also.

      SO5 was rushed out and made on a shoestring budget from a triace that was just about ready to drop console game development.

          Lymle and Meracle were both great, in Japanese. English dubbed e-girls are always terrible because westerners don't understand the trope.

          For me, it was Sarah who ruined the party dynamic, and also came at the worst part of the game where space exploration died in favor of generic fantasy bait and switch that Star Ocean always does.

          There's still a few enemies you have to be careful of though, like the a mini boss in the world map.
          Either way, it's a jrpg. You can pretty much control your own difficulty by controlling your levels.

      They're all in the same universe. I don't really get why people dislike the twist. The 4D beings are basically gods. Just like Christians believe God made the universe, in this setting the 4D beings made the universe of the games. Just like there are stories of Greek gods playing a board game that controls mortals and their fates, the universe is like a simulation to the 4D beings. Some people act like the 4D beings were normal humans that the universe of SO was just running on an Oculus Quest.

        This is something people should look for when seeing reviews. See what else they've reviewed. I think it's telling what kind of taste a person has based on their past scores.

            I should just stop playing them. Just like I stopped listenitn to Iron Maiden after Brave New World, but that's a whole another conversation.
            Arise, Berseria, Innocence, are just few (somewhat) latest Tales games that I just can't play. Even some idiotic RPGs have the start, the middle, and the end, no matter how bad the script is. In most Tales you don't even know why are you doing the thing you're supposed to do. There is no real motive to anything.

                It is not, they both have terrible main parties with boring and contrived dynamics, uninteresting stories that go nowhere. Arise has to be one of the worst cases of forced shipping I've ever seen in a game. Outside of the main 2 the party has zero fricking chemistry with each other and are literally brute forced into romance by the writers hand without bothering to justify it. Only thing is Arise somehow manages to have even worse combat. Literally the only positive quality Arise has is the graphics and visual design. It's awful in every other way. Even calling it a 5/10 is generous.

    Is the dual wielding armored girl the female lead? That is kinda crazy to see these days. They are usually always mages/healers.

    They don't give any context when you choose your character at the beginning. I know what their backstory is because I've been following the game's development but any new person just starting the game has no basis on whether they should choose the boy or girl when starting.

    I didn't expect this on booting the game.

    Which one?

      pick either, you'll probably want to play it again anyway
      just expect the game from Claude's perspective being an adventure trip trying to look cool, while Rena's is a goody-two shoes curious about the world solving problems and shit

        also, the other will join your party soon enough and will stay permanent despite leaving temporarily for a few events here and there
        also, there are enough different things going on to justify playing it all over again with the other protagonist

      I liked it right up until you get stranded on the same planet you spend every other Star Ocean game on and realized I got baited again.

      I thought it was just okay but it can get annoying. Like post game crafting for resources annoying trying to gather magical clay(?) and other post game shit.
      >played it again recently
      >got super pissed I missed ONE missable chest somehow
      >spent hours post game making gear, notably the super tri-emblum
      Post-game made for a decent mindlessly grind while watching youtube videos game.
