I haven't read the thread so don't crucify me if it has already been mentionned but playing Metal Gear Solid 4 I would have prefered changing disk for each chapter than waiting for that horrible install time. Especially when I was on chapter 4 and my brother on chapter 3... we had to wait for the install time every time we played.

unrelated to this, the install and the dics size have no relation, blame kojima productions not the fact that it was single dics VS multi dics.

Simliar to this is how Star Ocean 4 had a bunch of disk swapping on the 360, but that wasn't due to DVD that was poor programming on the developers part, since I haven't heard of any other games that make people do that.

Well, I prefer switching disc over a linear story, or area dissapearing after your on another disc. Sadly, star ocean had all that at the same time lol.

Yuck. Is it a good enough game to pick up the international edition? Or should I just avoid it altogether?

 

I enjoy jRPGs so much that I rarely regret playing one. So I dont regret playing star ocean, the combat system is very good (luckily), also the item fabrication system is big enough. But its about the only Pros, still, playing an RPG is better than not playing one at all. So I would recommend that you purchase it once youll have finish the other games your interested in. The overall experiences is still good 7/10 (take in consideration that I would almost never give below 6 to a jRPG), but at the end, you really wander why the devs decided not to ameliorate the story, side quest and lame characters.

me also I love the unique experience of each rpg. for me it come's mainly about the storytelling, so there maybe some storytelling that i may find somewhat lacking but I know there are alway's going to be something about every rpg i may find that i like, pretty much every RPG has some good qualities, I have yet to find a RPG with no good qualities. I may not enjoy some of them as other's but once i start one I have to finish it., Even if i find some part's overy repettive for my teste's, but I take it all in stride because that is the developer's vision  or the publisher's vision of the game..

Nice vision, I agree with it, storytelling is also a strong point for me. Its why I enjoy jRPGs like Suikoden 5 or Xenosaga, too bad those games doesnt sell enough to be create and publish nowadays :(.

o'l yea those right there were one of the reason's why I bought the PS1 in the first place, the rpg's of that era was some of the most fun I have had aside of PEN an Paper RPG and board game's in general., sometime's i just get that "they don't make them like they used too" feeling, maybe it's because i just turned 40 years old, or the fact that I try sometime's to relive those great game experiences that I had so long ago, I know they are not the same into day's game's, an there is quite fun experiences  with today's game's . but that's alway's going to be a great memory I had playing those game's , An i can still play those because I still have them mainly because I still have my PS1. but since i also can play them on my PS3 sadly the PS1 is soon to be packed up. and migrated to the basement to be put on the kid's tv's .
