I disagree. The skills in Star Ocean are far too limiting and there are far too few to even compare to artes. Star Ocean may have free run, but the battles don't actually require you to move the stick at all, as pressing attack moves your character automatically. The chains you can do in SO4 aren't even comparable to the things you can do in Vesperia.

In regards to movement: What does that prove? Star Ocean is free run but it has a semi automatic( that you turn off), while Tales of is controlled movement with a manual free run plus Tales also has a semi automatic( symphonia snd Abyss did im sure vesperia does to from demo iirc) that u can turn off... this only helps prove my point of the 2 being basically similar. In regards to skills: Tales of has a slightly Deeper combat system..so? at core of these games there basically the same thing... Star Ocean Battle Skills are more Range/area focused.. while Tales focus's on combo's and of course it has more it would be boring comboing with10 moves...duh. The overall deal is the same thing different setting
