Star Ocean huh... that's one of my JRPGs I have in my backlog... is there no difficulty switch in the game?
OT: For me it was Zeno in this Zatch Bell game for the Gamecube... The issue was the game was entirely based on difficulty. To play the story mode you had different difficulties, easy, normal, hard, very hard. Once you play on let's say easy... you get to a certain part and after you beat that boss, the game would go back to the main menu. At first when I played this, I was shocked as to what happened so I played on Normal. I got past the previous boss and I got to a boss in some freezer/ice level. Once i beat that boss, it went back to main menu. Hard mode, I got to the this massive purple enemy (demon like monster...
It was the last boss in the game, Zeno, on I believe very hard, and he jus destroyed me. I barely lasted 30 seconds too. Turned off the game and never looked back :(
