AHHHHHHHHHHHH CE JEU EST 10/10 C'EST INCROYABLEEEEEE j'aurais dû le faire bien plus tôt, le scénario est magnifique et très attirant, les persos sont géniaux (ILIA 🛐 et Phia 🛐) le worldbuilding est INCROYABLE, TOUT EST INCROYABLE, il y a tellement de trucs qu'on peut faire (création d'objets, jouer de la musique, personnaliser les armes etc. ) et le gameplay...... booooooordel c'est parfait, c'était tellement addictif que j'ai fini extrêmement overleveled car, en gros le système de points de compétences gagnés chaque level-up c'est HYPER addictif, donc je faisais des combats random juste pour avoir plus de points de compétences. Et le combat est real-time, c'est un peu comme le combat Tales Of mais en même temps c'est différent. Je sais plus mais j'ai absolument adoré ce jeu et maintenant je suis fan de Star Ocean, je dois faire le deuxième maintenant. Je le recommande très très très fortement, en vrai j'en reviens pas, à mon avis c'est un chef-d'œuvre

Good story, but the combat was a slow burn. It took until about 3/4 of the way through the game for fights to be as fun as they were.

What would happen if you mix a classic "Tales of" with "Star Trek"?
I really enjoyed this game. The story is easy to go by. You have a wide pool of characters to choose to play. The difficulty on the game scales accord you progression. You don't require to grind like a beast. This game has an INSANE skill system that will help you a lot in your gameplay if you master it.
I can say this game has a very powerful and meaningful message:

Anguish not over your fate
Instead, gather forth your courage
and may your strength be everlasting
Generations to come will thank you

Its really funny seeing a game with snes pacing and psp production value
I genuinely think this game had a lot of amazing ideas, i loved how the party works, and its actually really similar to the rpg in my head that will never get even a google doc starting the rough draft. You know the one
My only real complaints about this one is that A. The combat stinks (but it honestly doesnt matter) and B. The last hour and a half is so obviously shoved in there for padding and a more satisfying ending that it hurts.

Star Ocean: um oceano de decepções. Eu esperava até que bastante desse jogo, e ele não entregou quase nada do que eu esperava.

O combate é muito ruim. Eu quero saber quem foi o filho de rapariga que inventou a ideia de um jogo baseado em PARTY onde você NÃO PODE controlar os membros da sua PARTY diretamente. Isso somado ao design preguiçoso e repetitivo das dungeons, deixa a experiência do loop de combate e exploração bem chato.

A história aqui é uma gigantesca punheta de pau mole, com o jogo introduzindo uns 50 conceitos diferentes na primeira hora, e depois esquecendo totalmente deles por 90% do jogo. Com vilões e situações tiradas do nada que no fim não levam a lugar nenhum, com um vilão final que literalmente passou a existir no roteiro faltando 2h pro jogo acabar.

Dentre as poucas coisas boas a citar, o traço é bonito, as cidades são legais de explorar e o jogo tem uma variedade até bem alta de opções de build e habilidades úteis fora de combate.
