I've alwatys thought that Cait Sith was a great name, the character itself is quite questionable, but the name is great, at least it's different to the dozens of Lennas, Waynes, Vincents and Jacks. And Fayt Leingod was also a good name, but the worst part is that 1UP directly spoils the biggest (and best) moment of Star Ocean 3. And how exactly is an amazing game like SO3 a "sloppy, overblown mess"?
The other three places can't be argued, though

1up were the ones that said that the story was good in SO3 but the battle system sucked so I am not that suprised that said it was sloppy and overblown. The game was good and all but I have played better JRPGs.

Fayt wasn't a bad name per se, it was just very....weird

 

I don't know, usually I play JRPGs mostly for the story, I do enjoy the battles and everything of course, but I mostly see them as a way to get stronger to face the boss. In SO3, on the other hand, I fighted just because fighting was fun, in the beginng, in the ruins of Coffir, I spent like an hour from random battle to random battle because i was pure fun. Star Ocean had an amazing battle system. I can agree that there was a problem with the collision detection, the fact that you couldn't hit downed enemies was another one, and sometimes, mostly in bosses, and due to the fact that it was in real time, it could be difficult to control the flow of battle. But, other than that, it was excellent.

I also have played better JRPGs, I'm not naming SO3 the best game ever or anything like that, I'm just saying that calling SO3 a "sloppy, overblown mess" is a bit of an insult to an excellent game

They didn't hate the game, they just hated the battle system
