the best star ocean for me so far very engaging gameplay with really cool dungeons i'd still prefer second story item creation though but this one is not that bad,the story and characters however were honestly quite under baked with most of the cast are just one note and only few of them are likeable or the first half of the story while great idea,took too long to get invested atleast the second half makes up for it and yes,the twist.
honestly?i like it and with the message it's trying to tell?i quite like it,it is something you have to check out for yourself instead of let someone else spoils to you.
