Well, the characters lacked emotion... at least their face could use some more. But the story wasn't that bad as most tell. Sure the plot was generic at best, but the game gave me a great sence of adventuring. The characters were constantly kept at edge by the main antagonist (even when he was not present, since the world was crumbling to his power), overall, i believe they had a good back and forth with Nene. It made the build up to the last level much more satisfactory than it would be without it. And there was a nice foreshadowing in the game. It would work better as an optional last quest, but it was still nice. Sure as hell beats the crap out of whatever plot and characters Star Ocean 4 or Magnacarta 2 had. |
Star Ocean 4 was much worse for sure. The plot in that one fell apart after the first twist.
I did think the villian was awful though. He had no motivations for his actions and did it all largely for the sake of doing so.
