Should I play this or emulate the original?
>>
>>730928456
not worth it either way
>>
>>730928456
I like the og personally
>>
The Star Ocean remakes were rated pretty good. I don’t think they censored anything as the original was pretty tame. Might as well play R.
>>
>>730928456
The original unless you are a bitch baby who can't play RPGs without "quality of life"

Although it's far from the worst remake I've seen
>>
>>730928456
very good remake, buy that one so i can get SO7 later
>>
>>730928456
One of the few legitimately great remasters/remakes.
There's really no reason to play the OG with this release out now.
>>
>>730928456
It's great.
I am not sure, I heard the new eng texts are worse. I played in the german (I guess that's the old texts) with the jap voices and it was quite good.
>>730928613
The look of the cities is one thing I understand the nay sayers. I like them.
>>
Also warming; the final dungeon has some enemies that one-shot you pretty often. Be prepared
>>
>>730928613
I unironically think putting alerts for Private Actions on the map ruins the whole thing.

They are supposed to be bonus scenes that you stumble upon by accident, showing you where they are makes into an autistic exercise of visiting every town and checking them off a list every time you advance the story a little.

>>730928730
I disagree. You say that, but in actuality what 90% of people actually did was just pull up GameFAQs on personal actions and constantly double-checked to make sure they didn't miss anything.

The only thing I miss from OG is the removal of the localization mistake of "Bunny" to "Barney"

when i was a kid, i'd play the original and get to the place where you ride on a ship at least a week of playing

now, it took me just about a day, and i discover it's already about half or 2 thirds of the game?

man, idk if it's because the remake/remaster sped things up so much or what
>>
>>730928847
If you talk to all the side characters the game takes a lot longer
>>
>>730928456
Dunno but I feel like I should emulate it too considering I never got two of the characters? Three? I don't remember. I always got that dude with the two dragons on his shoulder and the doctor that punched shit.
>>
>>730928456
Remake is better because it isn't unstable and corrupts your save file.

Overall you should play neither.
It's not a good game and the writing is only passable while you're in elementary school.
>>
The remake is better as a game overall but there's some things that are worse. In particular the dungeons don't feel very interesting when it's a bunch of copy pasted squares compared to the pre-rendered backgrounds The shot composition is worse in cutscenes too. Personally, I'd play one story on either the PS1/PSP and then do the other in the remake.
>>
>2 gets two remakes
>3 just gets a ps4 remaster
why?
>>
>>730929405
3 is very divisive
2 is generally well-liked

The latest new SO was explicitly meant to model itself after 2
>>
>>730928456
Play this. There's no reason to play the original. Don't listen to the "muh original sovl" fags. It has as much soul the original did with added QoL fixes.
