Thinking of getting Star Ocean 3

[Xen]

There are most definitely better roads to route your money to...

SO3 Pros:

-Fast Loadings. Like cartridge fast!
-Terrific battle system. It's fun, dood.
-Great graphics and music

Cons:

-Lameass story
-Characters that are even worse than the already terrible and hopelessly raped of its potential story.
-The invention system is hard to deal with, especilly without a strategy guide by your side
-Some enemies can be very cheap with MP kills. Then again, so can you.

I'm with Mirson on this. Get Devil Summoner/VP2!

edit: or Odin Sphere. It's nothing like Tales, but I absolutely love it!
