Perfect

The best PS2 RPG in years

To me this game is the best RPG since Final Fantasy X. I really like the gameplay, a big step in speed and fighting since the previous Star Ocean. Always fast and non-linear fighting. The graphics are very beautiful and is well done. At first the story maybe kinda boring but towards the game it gets very interesting that you want to know what happens next. If you are first timer to the Star Ocean seris, then you must know you can make your own weapons and upgrade them, as well as armor and others. If you like long games then this won't disappoint. Over 40 hours on 2discs, which doesn't include the bouns areas after finishing the story (about another 10-20 hours). If you love leveling up your characters then again this won't disappoint, up to level 255 you can go with very cool abilities. Also you can pick your diffuicty of the game. And with the bouns "battle trophies" when doing certain task can unlock new outfits, soundtrack mode, harder diffuicties, and others. So this why I like this game very much and I think you should to.

This game has a space themed storyline with a few twists that makes the story fairly interesting. The gameplay is fun and fast paced, the grapics are well done and events occur based on decisions that you make. The way that you interact with your team members will determine what type of ending you will get at the conclusion of the game. So choose your words carefully.

This is my first review that I have ever written so its not going to flow as well as I would like. I don't know exactly where to start so Ill start with the story, I don't want to give any spoilers, but what I can say is that I enjoyed it and it's plot twists. I also liked the battle system(except the fury gauge)They fixed the problem(or at least I think it was) that was in SO2 with the length of the spell casting. The graphics are divided into to catagorys the cut scenes and in-game. I really liked the in-game graphic style, but the cut scenes were not up to my standard, the lip-sync was horrible and the people looked a bit to shiney for my taste. Now for the sound department, I liked the voice acting I don't think they picked bad actors like in some other imported games, the music was alright(its no where near the music of games like FF7), but I did enjoy mst of the rock guitar riffs. I guess that about covers my review of this game, Overall I would recommend this game to anyone who likes RPG's but hates turn-based battle systems.
