Damn is Star Ocean that bad?
My wife loves WRPGs (and of course Oblivion) so she went to go play Tales of Vesperia, but Star Ocean is next on her list. She's gonna cringe to hear my fellow VGCharters detest the SO4 story. Hopefully the combat is still good.

SO4 was fine (a lot of people hate it because its only on 360)

SO3 is the bad one.

No, a lot of people hate it because it sucks and is a bad game. Even moreso that it's far and away the worst in the series.

No....SO3 is the worst in the series by far. Awful AWFUL music, awful design, and awful story.

That fits SO4 perfectly.

Except SO4 had great music, great design, and a decent story.

Not at all. The design was greatly flawed. SO4 was riddled with bugs, glitches, and freezes. The targeting was completely broken and a burden to the player, and the music wasn't good at all. Sakimoto did much better on IU!

Well i guess you must have played a different game than i, because i never had those problems.

Is it just me or are there far more disagreements over how good a jRPG is than any other genre. I don't think I can think of a single game for which some people think it is the worst game ever and others think that is the greatest game ever

Its just like books, Its hard to argue which book is better. Its a personal taste thing.

Final Fantasy I.
Any of the early Wizardry series.
A ton of nameless PC RPGs.

Tales of the Abyss.

The first 10 minutes goes something like this. Boy trains with Master. Girl tries to kill Master. Girl and Boy teleport to another country. Girl and Boy work together to get Boy back home. What?????

Who the hell would work together with someone who just tried killing your master before getting a COMPLETE explanation of why that person was trying to kill their master. It's like someone tries to kill your friend, but your friend manages to drive away. But now you are stranded. Then the guy who just tried to kill your friend offers you a ride home. Who the hell would just jump into that person's car? But that's exactly what the character in Tales of the Abyss does.

Plus cheagles are not cute. They are annoying. So is the Fon Master Ion.

How far have you gotten into Tales of the Abyss? The first 15 hours are a bit weak but after that the storyline becomes really engrossing and the characters shine. ToV and ToA are the only tales games i really like. All of the others are pretty lame IMO.

Well, it's very well known that the game freezes. I was averaged 1 freeze every 2 hours I played during the second disc. It only froze twice in the third disc though.

Seriously, google freezing problems in star ocean 4.

What a horrible analogy. Also, seriously. The exposition =/= the storyline.



Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.
