You can add Valkyrie Profile, Star Ocean and Front Mission to this list.

The first two because it doesn't look like tri-Ace will work with Square-Enix again, and the last one because that aberration called Front Mission Evolved killed it.

After Star Ocean 4, they made the right decision by letting it die.

I loved Star Ocean 4

I agree. The game was incredible. Awesome combat system, great graphics, the "earth" arc was impressive and overall a very good game. Yes a couple of characters had squeaky voices, and i dont care much for crafting and the side-quests. But the main quest was enjoyable. The last dungeon was a bit of a pain too after such a good game though.

I had a much worse time with Star Ocean 3. I loved the first disc, and i absolutely hated the second. Worst plot twist ever. I would say thats the game that did the most damage to the series because of the silly plot (it affects every title in the series that has taken place before it).

 

I do love star ocean though (i just bought first departure for th PSP this year). I dont know why they try to only do one per generation though...

We totally need a new Grandia though. Such a shame... it still has the best combat system of any RPG i have played. Heck i even finished Grandia Xtreme because i just love the combat system. Grandia 3 had an average plot, but the awesome combat system was there and the graphics were nice.

WTB more Grandia (IV). :(
