Thats another thing, whats the combat system like? I see gameplay videos of it and it looks kinda shallow to be honest.

So, I didn't equip Air Raid until the end and yes it is a cheap move.  And on top of that I removed his Laser Weapon so it doesn't feel overpowered on the last stage.  Other than that, I find Felia to be a waist of space and some characters die too easily. 

There is a layer of complexity to the battle system in the form of roles.  Ther are a ton of rolls and mastering one opens others.  The roles effect the way your character acts in battle while also providing stat boosts.  I feel like the really getting a hold of how to put them together is the mastery of the battle system, but it is overwhelming at first.  The guage bonus attacks are strong a hell but I need more time to figure out how to properly manipulate it.

The open world battles is the best aspect and also the worst because it causes some frame drops in certain battles and it is very noticable and distracting.

Sometimes enimies will just murder you.  Other times those same enimies will be complete pushovers.   The auto targeting system suck balls.  The manual one is better but not by much.  Sometimes I would just cheat by just using Miki to heal the team while my team went buck wild on a boss. 

After I beat the game tonight, I will have to:

Go back and spend 20+ hours getting materials to build super soilders (par for the couse and expected)

Kill Celeste and Etherial Queen. 

Dominate the arena.  

Find the farmable Fol and EXP monsters.

Get all to 255.

I don't mind the short story because the after game is so damn long.. might as well cut straight to it.  I still have about another 100 hours left to go.

He's not kidding either. Star Ocean 5 is only 20 hours if haul ass to the end. If you plan on getting the plat I can already forsee 80-100 hours. At least there are no pain in the ass battle trophies. You seem pretty far. I just to quest to find second research facility after doing operation snakes eyes. Without spoiling, how far would you say I am?
