Star Ocean 3 has the worst twist in history. *spoiler*It's all a game?!! Come on!*Spoiler end*

The rest of the story is also pretty bland, but entertaining. Tri-Ace aren't exaclty known as good storytellers.

 

off OP topic:

IMHO the music was good, and I would like to point out that Hitoshi Sakimoto has never composed music for tri-ace games. The composer for Star Ocean and IU is Motoi Sakuraba. I also loved the battle system SO3.

That will be argued for all eternity. I still think that that twist in SO3 was masterful, I love those twists that leave you "damnit, what the fuck???"

I loved SO3's story

 

And I have to agree, SO3's music was excellent, and the battle system too was wonderful

The problem people seem to have against SO3's plot twist is that it makes most of the game before it pointless and that the plot twist wasn't forshadowed enough, if at all.  It's the same problem people had towards FFVIII, where gamers claimed that plot twists came out of nowhere with no forshadowing even though it apparently was albeit poorly.
