Damn. It can't be that bad. What happened?

It's gotta be the sudden change of one of girl's underwear

Nah, just the reviewers. Their's wasn't on quite right so it was like something was up their butts.

Famitsu thought SO5 is just as good at SO4. I'm kind of troubled now that I've looked this up.

Man. Review scores in general are useless, but Famitsu scores are the epitome of reading nothing, given that even people who depend on scores often say that

just like the Order 1886 doesnt count anymore? A game is a game, a game more

thats not an RPG

What? Yes it is. Lol what are you talking about

no it isnt, its a sidescrolling beat em up with RPG elements

Damn, every JRPG franchise I want to get in on is dying. Must be my bad luck. Okay, I am NOT going to start FF with FFXV....really, universe...I'm not.

How they are dying if they are still getting made and enjoyed by their fanbases? Look also at your PSN ID, zero JRPGs or Japanese gamese in general except for Gravity Rush which you havent even finished. If you really would be into them you would have tried one by now

Haha, maybe the devs changed theirs and now they're pissed. xD

 

Seriously though, how could this go wrong? It looked good, and it has a huge party too. It looked like it was fun.

Nothing went wrong, famitsu gave it an 85 but you wont see their review because they are Japanese. Its only western reviewers who are bitching and complaining but then turn around and hail every other Western RPG.



I thought the big problem with this game was it's length and it was otherwise pretty good.

I guess the problems run a lot deeper

As expected. That's how much SO4 should have had.

Is it overcorrection? There's no chance that this is worse than Star Ocean 4.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

I dunno if that helps assure if SO5 is a good game. They also gave FF13 39/40, and I know how that game really is.

The thing is: if you like the Star Ocean franchise, you'll probably like this one as well. Star Ocean never had an amazing story and characters, the combat make up for it

Just play by yourself and be the judge
