Yeah up to Star Ocean 3. It all goes downhill from there.

>>12538579
It's Tales of but even more homosexual so no

I played it as a kid, therefore it's the best.

>>12538579
only 3 and 4 are good
1 is mediocre and 2 is overrated slop

>>12538579
2 is the only one that's worth while. The rest of the series was hard carried by its success.

>>12538579
2 is a great game.
1 is fucking garbage. Don't listen to the nonstalgia fags. Half of the fucking game is spent walking back to the very first town, over and over and over, with lots of random encounters. Most backtracking I've ever seen. It's pure shit.
3 is a mixed bag.
4 onward is garbage.

>>12538579
2 is really good.

>1 is fucking garbage

The voice acting.

Lmao

Professions and party member choices and limited story branching, not stuff you see in many jRPGs.

If you really love 2 and want to scratch that itch of getting more 1 can attempt to. It's very clunky like you're saying though. The premises and plot in 1 are even thinner though. 2 scales its world building well. While 1 opens with them traveling back in time.
