If you format your HDD, everything that's stored in it will be erased... If you want your trophies back, you must sync your trophies with PSN and the trophies you earned and synched with before formatting will be back... so make sure you sync your trophies before formatting so everything you've earned is stored in Sony's servers.

Yes, backing up backs up game and save data, among other stuff. I'd recommend to delete all installed game data before backing up though, because they can make the back up file pretty big and it will take long to back up and restore later... you can reinstall your games anyways.

Yeah, it's not the PS3, it's the game... it has a bug that causes the freezing... you could finish the game without having any freezes or you could have bad luck and have constant freezing everywhere... and the same game in another PS3 could have no problems if the bug never occurs in the other PS3.

Lots of people complained about the Resonance of Fate problems and tri-Ace didn't do anything to fix it... The freezing isn't widespread enough for them to take any action. It's a rare and random bug that could happen any time... It happened to me in Silver Canyon after around 30 or 40 hours of playing the game without any problems... some people get the bug in the beginning of the game and can't advance because of it.

 

It's been a long time since both games have been released and they still haven't given any solution to the freezing... and probably never will.

You can read about the Resonance of Fate freezing bug if you want and see if you can find a solution that could also work in Star Ocean.

Lol, there's someone that played the game for 100 hours without any freezing... but it started freezing in the final boss fight xD

Thanks for the tips on reformatting...guesss I'll have to wait for PSN to come back online though..got my first plat the other day and there's no way I wanna lose that.

Apparently all the games in the SO series have some sort of game freezing bug...seems to be a tri-Ace thing! And at this stage so many years after the game release, i doubt anything would be done about it. It's pretty annoying to vest so many hours into a game, reach near the end, and get stopped in your tracks by a game crippling bug..

I'll have to scour that thread to see if I see anything interesting..thanks again.
