@Ssenkahdavic, i enjoyed Star ocean 3 as well , even though getting away from the resort seemed to take forever , i also enjoyed SO4 despite the faults.
When you set out to make quirky character(s) you should be careful that any looked for comedic affect might easily be lost and all you have left is an irritating character i don't know if it's a Japanese cultural thing although i don't think so after all star wars has jar jar binks in it and anime is full of endearing eccentrics.
