If you like Star Ocean 3 then you will like Star Ocean 3.5.

If you play other C/B class JRPG's then you will like Star Ocean.

I was not excited for Star Ocean at all up to moment I purchased it. I am enjoying the game. Im am not sayinb the reviews are wrong but SO5 is a typical anime JRPG. These never fare well in the west. If you play JRPG's, especially super Anime ones then you should know what to expect.

I wouldn't say that.  Reviewers are especially biased against SE non-purist non turnbased RPGs.  They look the other way when Atlus and Nintendo games have over the top anime cliches.

I kinda pointed that out in the sentence before. Anime JRPG's most of time be will scored a grade lower than it actually deserves. During 6th gen the entire Altelier Iris series was score a 7 and below by the main westerny reviewers, but those games were awesome. I would give them all a B. It was actually Altelier Iris's treatment in the west that actually pushed me away from using anybody but RPGfan to gauge JRPG's.

Thats why its important for JRPG fans to step the fuck up when it comes to support this style of RPG's. You cant rely on western reviews, especially in todays age to look at a C/B class JRPG without biased. Dont just suck your dick about PS having alot of JRPG's if your not gonna buy them.
