>>741529886She was sexy but I liked the witch you meet at the start more
>>741530148same, i have a soft spot for the older ara ara female that most SO games have
>>741529886Playing SO back on the ps1, I couldn’t believe how bad and lame it was. The death of square post-enix acquisition makes a lot sense now.
>>741531434>tattooscringe
>>741532205those are mage veins
>>741532109SO is developed by Tri Ace. What do you mean?
>>741531434The shower curtain outfit is still dumb as fuck
Damn rena looks like that?
>>741533813She actually looks like this. Dunno why the anime and the first remaster had to suck all the soul out of her
>>741534146based
>>741534146why are earth men like this?
I really liked the Claude run I did last year. Is it worth playing through again as Rena? Cool swordsman guy could be cool and there's that sniper lady I missed but I heard Rena mostly just sits around waiting for Claude which sound lame.Also have no idea if I should do a fresh run or ng+.>>741531434They look so soft... This has gotta be the one time where the remake has better art.
>>7415298862 is so much better than 4
>>741534872Yes, do a Rena run. And yes, get the gun lady Opera. She's great for long range while still not being a mage. Do notice getting Opera blocks getting Ashton. Getting Bowman blocks getting Precis. To get Ernest you need to have Opera.The sword guy is pretty meh.
>>741535158>The sword guy is pretty meh.damn. unwinnable bossfight shitter and he's not even good? what a fag.
>>741534146He makes it look so easy
>>741537682That dude is retarded. Dias is easily the best character in the game.
>>741537682Claude, Rena, Ashton, Opera and Precis are simply more fun to play. Dias is boring like Bowman and Chisato.
>>741538336I used Claude, Rena, Celine, and Welch. Sometimes I'd put Precis in. I got the Rena preggers ending
>>741529886I was actually just revisiting anamnesis yesterday. I need to figure out how to clone my phone's install so I don't lose it since I'm sure you can no longer obtain offline
How the fuck are you supposed to play Star Ocean 2R on the hardest difficulty when all my party npc's just insta die and it's just me soloing every battle?
>>741538283Sorry, Dias, can't hear you over the sound of your little sister screaming getting kicked to deathSeriously, that hair, those clothes, janky play and especially horrendous sprite just make Dias undesirable
>>741529886Star Ocean is weird because usually when a series is around so long and has so many games you'd think there'd be a lot of good but it's literally a bunch of 4/10 games carried entirely by one game that's like a 7/10.
>>741538410>two mages>I don't know who the fuck Welch isUh. I use 3 fighters and Rena
>>741529886Imagine romancing Rena. Are you a cuck? Do you like tasting Dias' cum?
>>741538283hopefully he is just retarded since Dias is half the reason I'll bother>>741538336Chisato was more than worth the slot just because her animations were fun. I'll be trying Bowman for the first time next run too. will probably skip that late game guy though. he was a healer I think? why would I ever need another one of those when I have Rena?
>>741533996THIS is her real look and I accept nothing else. She's so cute and the only designs are terrible.
>>741538521>janky play100% confirmed retarded.
>>741538773Noel has heals and attack spells but yeah he's boring. Do get Opera and Ernest. Ernest is boring too but at least you have experienced having him
>>741538815Luv RenaLuv AshtonLuv OperaLuv PrecisJust don't like Dias. I'm sorry if you have self-inserted as the edgy chuuni boy.
>>741538496bodyguard
>>741538773Noel is the best mage in the game from both a healer and nuker perspective.
>>741538604welch's fruit snacks is the series mascot who they made a sexy teen know it all
This is a new man
>>741539053I like the concept of her having the controller of the console the game released on
Is Ashton autistic?
>>741538496Chaos? Well if you want to get OP early on you can always do the usual of stealing a Goodie Box and savescumming a Marvel Sword. That's the easiest, but you can also steal an early animal food or whatever and buy crafting materials you aren't normally supposed to have access to, like pens for books. You can get a ton of skills to level 7 right after Celine joins.
>>741539053How old is she anyway
Sex
>>741533813cunnytastic, perfect for certain audiences>>741533996patrician, classic anime style

>>74153918916 but she's smaller than the others
>>741539148Cunt
Where is Star Ocean 3 remake?
>>741540162she's going to shove her pointer up your ass for saying that
>>7415402652 was always the most popular game in the series so don't hold your breath.
>>741540384She is
>>741537885Precis is an easy girl
>>741534146My god i love so much the aestetic of this game i want a new game like this and instead they will do only remake and mobile ports im so depressed...
>>741538496The game didn't have Chaos when I played so I can't comment on that but I remember Universe only being hard at the start. After a while when you start getting IC stuff down, you get crazy good gear and the difficulty falls into place.
>>741540265Probably never, a full 3D remake would probably cost too much money compared to a 2D one and Star Ocean does not sell well enough for an investment like that. Most that might ever happen is a remaster.
>>741529886>Constantly hear about how SO2 is the best one.>Play 3, 4, 5 and 6.>Love them all except 6.>Finally play 2.>It's bad. Not as bad as 5 but not nearly as good as the others.I've been duped by this fanbase's equivalent of symphoniafags.
>>741543402meant except 5. I love 6.
>>741533813This is what people should raise ruckus over. It's the infantilization of the original design for only one sinister reason.
Is Star Ocean even good after the first two? I remember playing some of SO3 as a teen and hated it. I've only heard terrible things about the later ones too.
>>741543402>buys in the status quo with no apparent reason>tries it, disappointed without any reasonJRPG fans like this are the reason this genre is so divisive and full of braindead fans.
>>741543484I loved 6 the most.
>>741543484yeah all of them are good except 5.My personal favorite was 4, 3 is great too but is in serious need of a remake.
>>741543575How's the pc port of 4 run these days? Also do most later SO game fans hate 2? Because I thought it was quite good.
>>741529886Ironically, Rena is the only nede in existence who actually is underage thanks to time travel shit.>>741539141Probably. The poor bastard's got three consciousness' at once all competing for processing time. And two of those do completely irrational shit if he doesn't hardlock them.
>>741543685I didn't think it was very good. Most of the party being optional means they didn't matter at all and their dialogue during the story was empty and unconcerning.The antagonists were boring, the combat wasn't as good as later entries and while I liked exploring the world, that was pretty much all I cared about.
>>741543685>How's the pc port of 4 run these days?Very basic port.
>>741543484I don't even think SO2 is an amazing game. It's a decent B-tier JRPG from the golden age of the genre when literal who devs were putting out memorable stuff, a lot of it better than SO2. The only other semi-decent games are SO3 and 6 and they're both horrendously mediocre. It's an objectively bad series that's somehow managed to stick around for 30 years while other, better series died.
>>741543776Honestly, that was a downside to the R version of the game. The wise men worked better when they had less personality and screen time. They just kinda wrote in generic shit for everyone below Lucifer.They also fucked up the battle songs for every last one of them. The person who was composing the soundtrack either didn't have context, or wasn't interested in keeping the mood of a lot of songs like that. We form in crystals(the end theme) was another one that got butchered that way.
>>741543484Not really. It's a series heavily carried by SO2.
>>7415436852 was great but the endgame is pretty bad. Once the 12 niggers(I don't remember what they're called) take the stage the story takes a nosedive.
where or how to play star ocean the second story the best way in 2026?i gave up after the world got destoryed i thought i messed up
>>7415434844 is very love/hate. Even if you love it, there's shit in there that you just have to meme on, because it deserves it.5 is mostly hate.I can't honestly tell what the consensus on 6 it. I like it personally, but god damn is the whole "backwoods asshole finds a path to godhood" thing really hacked in there in places.
>Star ocean 2 is the only good one.>Tales of Symphonia is the only good one.>Xenoblade 2 is the only good one.>Dark Souls 2 is the only good one.>SMT4 is the only good one.I'm convinced these are trolls because I tried all of the above and they turned out to be the worst of the series, but not necessarily bad.
>>741543870Sakuraba did the soundtrack again so I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
>>741543995with so2 that's not really an outlier opinion, though
>>741543995we all know beseria is the best one
>>741543995No one in their right mind is going to think SO2, Symphonia, and SMT4 are the worst entries of their series.
>>741544032Compared the melancholy sound of the original Crystals, to the complete lack of that in the new one, for example.A lot of the energy and "desperate situation" tone was erased from various wiseman battles as well. EX: Incarnation of Devil turned into a fucking rock anthem.
>>741543995All of those are parroted by "people" who played them as kids so their nostalgia bias makes them spew bullshit like that>>741544096>B*rseria>best onelol
>>741544096I don't believe that but I do like it.Speaking of Berseria, I think it's funny that SO6 took Tales of Berseria's art tree mechanic and Tales of Arise felt more like a Star Ocean game in a lot of ways. Maybe they do still talk and exchange ideas sometimes?
>>741529886humans couldn't have possibly lived that long ago. what the hell were the Ten Wise Men doing at that time.
>>741544151I genuinely prefer playing Zestiria to Symphonia and I hated SMT4 while loving 3 and 5.
it sucks that SO3 prevented the team from making any sequels due to the plot twist.
>>741543952PS1 emulator
>>741539053>Claude x Rena ending (3)>Rena gets pregnant in the ending>Claude x Precis>technology advancements made possible for the entire world of Expel (or that other place).meanwhile Ronyx is MIA with his wife never knowing where he is and naming his dog after Roddick.
>>741544151>>741543995Always do opposite of what /v/ says. Never forget most people here are actually horrible at games and have horrible taste.
>>741544249They could, but thematically I can't see that making sense.It would be better to make a game set just before it and expand on the Vendeeni because SO3 barely touches on them as anything more than a vague threat.
where is the star ocean anamnesis, freeman?
>>741529886She cheats on Claude with Dias
>>741544239What about Arise and SMT2?
>>741544445>She cheats on ClaudeRena please stop fantasizing in public, he picked Precis over you
>>741544426>final fantasy BE gets a game on consolesI swear SE is going to look back at their dead mobile games and bring it to consoles. would it be great? and existing ones too.
>>741544493>he picked Precis over youthat support window was hilarious. he just straight up NTR'd Rena in the fact during that backwater homestead Rena lives.
>>741544462Haven't tried SMT2 yet but Arise certainly. Arise has a ton of faults but it still feels better than Symphonia and I like the characters way more as well.
how has SO6 not been on Switch 2 yet
>>741543934I agree with that, yeah. In a better rpg the 12 niggas would have been the start of the "real" game and they'd each have their own areas or dungeons. Just seemed like it ran out of budget tbdesu which is hardly an uncommon problem.>>741543995>>Dark Souls 2One of these is not like the others.
>>741544548lol
This game would be sick if it had proper story/writing.Very nice premise with endless possibilities.
>>741532861It barely even qualifies as part of the outfit.Just drop the curtain, and the rest of the outfit looks fine.
What happened to tri-Ace and why was their last good game 16 years ago?
>>741545889Hoping they've been working on SO7 or another game like Resonance of Fate since then.
>>7415434843 and 4 are fun even if their plots are stupid. Honestly I think SO4's combat is better than most Tales games'.
>>741547756>I think McDonalds is better than most indian street food
When are we getting both blue spheres in a cheap collection?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uz3Qsxmwgq8video unrelated
>>741544249Anamnesis fixed that actually.
I legitimately love the SO2 remake, and I generally absolutely loathe remakes.It actually feels like a love letter to the original, unlike the 7 remake shit.
>>741544590if it didnt run all that well on PCs even on a mid end rig, itll be a powerpoint presentation on the switch.
>>741543402Sorry but you liked dogshit and hated the only good game.
>>741550027The HD2D remakes in general have been very high effort. Live A Live and the DQ remakes (especially 2) are the same way.
>>741555295Star Ocean is not an HD2D game officially :DI like Live A Live too, the original never looked good and they fixed that and the expanded true ending is nice.
>>741543995The problem is you completely trusting in that narrative without actually doing research first. I thought JRPG fans are smarter than that.You should know that genX/millenials are gatekeepers and propagandists.
