This summer will be the true PS2 deja vu with this and Final Fantasy XII.

VincentCastle2553d ago

True, now if they would do the same for Persona 3, i would love to get all the trophies for it.
Also Dragon Quest 8, even if it did come on the 3ds as well.

Seeing that Star Ocean 5 was a huge disappointment, I can see why they are bringing the 3rd Star Ocean game to the west.

Was it really that bad? I bought it and havent played it yet

PiNkFaIrYbOi2553d ago

I don't think it is too bad, not the best game out there but still fun to play.

Rangerman12082553d ago

The one things that Iiked from the game was the combat and the graphics. Other than that, boring plot and side quests, clichéd characters, lack of epic space ship battles, Ai, unfair save points, empty world and the terrible camera angles prevents the game from being good.

Also, on a side note, don't buy Akiba's Beat if still looking playing other RPGs. The game was almost as disappointing as SO5. Not hugely since I doubt people were excited about the game but it is still bad.

It's just shorter than the rest. I thought it was okay. Not bad but not the greatest

VincentCastle2553d ago

it's quite bad. They took the cutscenes which people complained before as they were too long, and made them into something sort of the first Assassins creed game, so the conversations go in real-time. And from time to time you will have a 'full cutscene'.
My second problem with the game is that they made the combat way too simply, best combat mode was Star Ocean 4, this one is just getting two shortcuts and spamming them. Wish they still had the blindside.

IAF was awful. It was short, crap story, garbage visuals and you barely even got off the friggin' planet.

A beginner's guide to Star Ocean

Star Ocean is one of those series that did, and still does, things that others don’t. Think of it as a JRPG for fans of series like Star Trek. The casts regularly involve people from more advanced civilizations getting involved with those who are still growing, even though there are various measures in place to allegedly stop that sort of interference. As a result, people get energy weapons, cyborgs, magic and people who can turn into cats. It is a lot to take in.

Let's see here. There was another classic JRPG series that started this SCI Fi. It was Phantasy Star by Sega. Before Star Ocean, there was Phantasy Star 1-4 on Sega consoles

you've been told that the universe (SO lore) is just a ------------------- and close the book

VsAssassin1624d ago

Yeah, that plot twist didn't work for me. I wish SO3 isn't canon, but it is. Anyway, SE can just sweep SO3 under the rug perhaps by soft rebooting the franchise.

Nerdmaster1624d ago

The first two were so great, among the top RPGs on 16 and 32-bit era. I wonder why it went downhill after that...

LiViNgLeGaCY1624d ago

I still regard the 2nd Story as one of the greatest JRPG's of all time.

ChronoJoe1624d ago

Play the PS1 game and then the PS2 game and then the rest probably aren't worth your time unless you're a superfan of the series. I think that's all you need to know.
