the question isn't if is worth buying, cmon, $30-50 isn't that much money.

The question should be: Is it worth playing? Do I have the time?

For me isn't, since 2009 and 2010 are loaded with GREAT better games.

And if you haven't played Demon's Souls, Dragon age, tales of vesperia, you should play that before.

And with Final fantasy 13 and Tales of vesperia (complete version PS3 exclusive) I don't much spare time to play Star Ocean 4 since it wans't even a must play a year ago when it came out.

Same game on both systems. Just PS3 version has additonal content. Good luck with waiting on that! I doubt it will come out of japan. Even if it does end up coming to the west it would be old news. Most people that wanted to play Tales of Vesperia have already done so.



 How our favorite systems are just like humans and sometimes have issues finding their special someone...

Xbox 360 wants to Kinect &  PS3 wants to Move!  Why are both systems having such relationship problems?  The reason is they both become so infactuated with desire while watching the Wii as it waggles on by. They simply want what they can't have.

As for Persona, i will admit i was harsh with it, and still am to a large degree, but thats because of its religious blasphemy overall, and i've seen gameplay videos of it and read up on its storyline and i could have sworn it has alot to do with demons. games like that i have issue with, which is why i have a harsh opinion against Demons Souls, it looks great in some area however... in some others... i'd rather not go here because outlaw is among us so yeah...

You don't go there because you've yet to have a valid reason against it..... because you don't.

 

If something go against your personal belief its more than a valid reason to dislike it. I myself doesnt care about this type of thing but I can see how someone would have a harsh opinion if it goes against something really important for him. Its understandable.

I'm not sure. I'm atheist and I don't care if I have to use a "Prayer" ability with a "Monk" in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, or if I have to hear the voice of God in Jeanne D'Arc (or fight against it in Xenogears), or if I need to take control of the Papacy and spread Catholicism in Medieval Total War. It's just a game, it's different what happens in a game than what I think in reality. Maybe I just don't give a damn, but I think it's not a good idea to pass on a great game just because you don't agree with something that passes in a game. If that were so, people wouldn't kill anyone in shooters too...

Heck, I don't get annoyed because I can't make my main character gay in Persona 3, even though it would fit my beliefs...as I said, it's just a game

Yes but its different for catholics or protestant than us (atheist or agnostic).  Im not sure if its the case with Seraphic, but a lot of real catholic or protestant believe that some types of media can be a "door" for demon. Some people could be more sensible to those kind of things. Im not doing judgment here, just stating what I know about this.

Most Catholics and Protestant are not like that. I'm a Presbyterian (Protestant) and what you described above is what many sensible Christians call "Bible Thumpers". I for one have no issue with games having soemthing demonic in them. I don't fear the devil. As a Christian I have enough faith to know that I can overcome anythign he throws at me. Whether my entertainment be a book, movie or game I know it is only there for my enjoyment. As the great band Blue Oyster Cult says, Don't fear the reaper! Just my Christian take on the matter.

I ended up hating SO4. First of all, it's buggy and can erase hours worth of grinding at will. Also, the characters are annoying as hell. Oh, and the story is lame. So all in all--no, don't buy it. Crappy game. Get Lost Odyssey if you want a game like that.
