So like is this good or what? If it's so legendary why didn't I play it before now?
>>744238419It's one of those games like Tales of Symphonia that gets worshipped as a classic and best in the series but almost every game that came out after it in its own series was a lot better.
>>744238479this is factually wrong for star ocean in particular since every future entry got progressively worse
>>744238528fuck off.
Wasn't one of the entries irredeemable dogshit in some way?
>>744238419I legit don't understand the battle system. At one point it became impossible to win and I didn't feel like grinding so I quit.
awful awful series, utter waste of time playing through them that I'll never get back
>>744238615The fifth one yeah. It pisses me off too because it has a really nice art style and great color composition with excellent character designs but dropped the ball on almost every other aspect of the game from exploration, plot, combat, cutscenes (lol), everything.
>>744238479I tried Tales of Symphonia recently and my main takeaway was 'man I wish this was turn-based'. That combat has aged like SHIT.
>>744238656That's because you're overthinking it. This is a spam series. You spam attacks.The only games in SO that require more than chain-spamming attacks are SO4 and SO6, mainly because of the Blindside mechanic and how you can position better.>>744239096Yeah I think Symphonia is ok I just like all the Tales games that improved on it better (Abyss, Vesperia, Xillia 1 and 2). I hope we get that style of combat again soon instead of Graces-style.
>>744238419Is the difference between the original switch version and the Switch 2 digital only, non upgrade available version a lot? Can I live with just the original Switch version?
>>744238479you could argue SO3 is better but not SO4-6
>>744238419You can get an elf teen pregnant, so yeah it's good.
>>744240384SO3, 4 and 6 are all better than 2.
>>744238479>It's one of those games like Tales of Symphonia that gets worshipped as a classic and best in the seriesAnd that is correct. Both times.
>Star Ocean series>it's just Divine Force and Second Story R
>>744240559
>>744238419I wasn't fond of Till The End of Time. I only played a little of it though. I was thinking of giving Divine Force a chance but it would be really low on my backlog.
>>744240712I thought Divine Force was pretty dang good. Making your own combos was fun.
It's okay. People overhype it out of nostalgia.
>>744238419Just play 2nd Story on the ps1, no need to play anything else.
>>744238419SO3 is better
>>744238528That's only true up to 5, 6 was a return to form and the best game since 2.
>>744239257Switch 2 is 60 fps
>>744238419it's not good
