If you played the edition on PS3 I'm sure your score would be higher... just slap the Japanese voice overs on, switch the character portraits to the anime style (Because the 3D character models scare me in battle, they stare into my soul!) and I'm sure you'd like the story a lot more lol :P

Personally I found the game pretty good lol, nothing amazing, but then again I did only pay £8 for it brand new, along with Resonance of Fate for £8 brand new too, lol... so it was definitely worth the price... it's also the only Star Ocean game I've played, so I have no idea how it fares compared to the others in the series.

Oh I played the PS3 version, I put that tagged game bacause it was the first one I found.  The problem with the characters wasn't only the voices, it was their expression, or well lack of it. They felt so... not belivable. The Anime portraits are a cool addition but it doesn't really change a lot.

Well the price you bought it at is reasonable. I paid full price for the game as I was actually really hyped. I LOVED the series, the first and third game are one of my favourites games. I think my harsh review has more to do with the failed expectations I had with it.

You should try the first game, it's on the PSP. WAY better! Also the third game is for the PS2, if you still have it, give it a go, I'm sure you will end up liking them a lot more.
