whoever said star ocean 4 wasnt a good game

[cloud1161]

must be playing a different game than i am.  ive only been playing for about 12 hours or so, but this game is really good.  one of the few jrpgs this gen that got it right.  it might even be my favorite in the series, ill have to complete the game to find out for sure.  the first two games in the series were both great.  many say that the third is the best, but i just didnt like it.  it had a different feel than the first two did for me, but the fourth one makes me feel like  im playing the first two again.  it started out a little slow, but the story picked up relatively soon and now i just cant put the game down.  the battle system flows very nicely.  the only downside to me is that some of the trophies look like a real bitch to get.  i heard some people and reviews say the voice acting is kinda dull.  it sounds fine to me, yea there are a few characters who could have better acting (*cough* lymle *cough*), but all games have one or two characters that are just annoying.  all in all though i say star ocean 4 is a very well crafted game and all jrpg lovers should definitely play this game.  hell, even some action/adventure gamers could play this game if they are willing to play a game that is 4 or more time longer than what they are used to playing.
