| ClaudeLv250 said: Combination of factors: - It's Star Ocean, and despite being an amazing series there have been a few people following the games solely to complain about them (like modern Sonic in that sense but much less extreme) - Xbox 360 former exclusivity created a lot of bitter tears, the community that usually forms around Star Ocean games was non-existent as much discussion devolved into fights with angry Sony fanboys. If you stick around the International version you'll probably find a decent community despite being the same game, but the PS3 release did draw less attention to itself, and by then there was no point in a console war. - Scarcity of console JRPGs have forced the elitists to play games they normally wouldn't bother with, and as such those few RPGs tend to get judged based on what's not there rather than the actual game itself. See: PS1 RPGs in a post-FF7 world, where anything that wasnt FF got ripped a new one. |
Brilliant explanation. Those facts really speak for themselves. How much time until we see a new Star Ocean game? Any recent news about development of Star Ocean 5?
