The game has a terribly cliched story and the script seems to have been written by a 10 year old. If the 4th character doesn't give you a headache then you should be able to endure the rest of the horrible English VO. So bad some of the characters make you want to shut the audio off completely. Play this game with the original Japanese voice acting. So This game's reputation is somewhat deserved. This game's reputation is somewhat deserved. More so than Integrity & Faithlessness BY FAR. If you don't care about story in a game, this game isn't for you, but if you want to feel like you're playing a book, complete with cutscenes (like the GOOD old days), great graphics, and characters, be sure to give this a try. Games like Disgaea, a game severely lacking anime cutscenes, have gotten people to this "I just wanna fight" and "I want obscene difficulty" mentality. Why change this? Let the player choose whether to use certain overpowered characters or not if they want their challenge ramped. Now she's still strong but not a tank like she used to be. Also, they nerfed the effectiveness of some of the characters used to be that controlling Reimi alone with her special attacks would allow you to breeze through the game she was significantly overpowered. It's annoying, because you can't fully enjoy the graphical beauty. So why an 8 and not a 10? Well, they didn't address the excessive bloom lighting that's been there since the beginning. Some of it is "rails-ish" but in general, it's an absolute treat. Planetary exploration is what made Mass Effect 1 better than the rest, and it's on full display here. Meracle and Reimi are basically the anti-feminists, especially Meracle, who has absolutely no problem flirting. Just Reimi/Meracle/Edge alone will have you cracking up, and Welch is a star by herself, but watching Lymle fail to kick her is awesome. The Private Actions in this one far surpass any of the other Star Oceans by far. Everything's much cleaner, easier to see, draw distance, performance, etc. What made this game great was really 4 things: - The remaster graphics are EXCELLENT. Edge's English VA isn't great, but certainly not the worst (I'm looking at you, Tidus). Neither are worth skipping the game over. Also, people complain about Lymle, a childlike character, and Edge's English voice actor. In my opinion that's all it had going for it the story was terrible, the graphics laughable, the music forgettable. Many of the complaints from people online are people preferring the third Star Ocean: Till The End of Time, because of the battle engine. It's a great game, but temper your expectations. The remaster (not a remake, mind you), doesn't change the underlying story. It's the first Star Ocean to really focus on space exploration and visiting new planets. If you never played this game, it is (canon) the fourth Star Ocean game, having nothing to do with the previous except Captain Kenny who has a partial cameo from older games. Largely though it was the easier overall experience. PS3 version fixed that but introduced other issues. The 360's main issue was the disc swapping that was necessary between planets - a throwback to Final Fantasy VII on the PS1. After that expired, the International version was released on PS3.
