LupinLives Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 This game looks like a lot of fun. I am thinking of buying it, but would love to hear some feedback first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LupinLives Posted September 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Okay I gave in and got the game. After an hour I can see that this will be a fun ride. The story so far is pretty good and the voice acting isn't as terrible as the reviews had led me to believe. The battles are fought in real time and I still don't understand it completely but it seems fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddyc Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 I've been playing it for the past two days and it's sucked me in big-time. The real-time battles take a minute to get used to, but you'll be thankful the ability to dodge some of the strikes from some of the bosses that you're going to run into later. Freddy C.

AnthonyVolpe Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 I wanted to rent it at Blockbuster but the commie bastards didn't have a copy. Since there are too many friggin' games coming out that I want, I want to rent Star Ocean first before I plunk $50 on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Daddy Bling Bling Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 After an hour's worth of play, Star Ocean has landed itself at the very bottom of my "to play" stack. I'm debating as to if I should even bother considering the impending releases of Shadow Hearts 2 and SMT: Nocturne. The character designs are perhaps the most generic I've seen in an RPG, and I don't fancy the main character's "geeky" personality. Will he turn away from the video games and develop a love interest? The suspense is killing me. Don't even get me started on the circus crew. Sometimes I wish companies had a guy who looked over everyone's shoulder and said "That's incredibly lame, take it out" whenever stuff like this works its way into games. Is it too much to ask for sci-fi-ish characters in a sci-fi game? Hopefully with Star Ocean's tradition of having hordes of endings, there will be at least one where they die a horrible and gruesome death. Forgot to add, the intro CG is pretty impressive and the game should have some nice scenery if it lets you visit the futuristic cities shown in it. Also, the game has progressive scan support and anamorphic 16 by 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Daddy Bling Bling Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 I'm liking it better now that I'm 5 hours in and the annoying characters have been replaced by semi-interesting ones. I'm still bracing myself for the inevitable reunion with Peppita though. Cliff, in particular, is one of the most amusing characters I've seen in a recent RPG.
