I ended up playing pic related for about 2 hours wanting a space RPG with aliens, so far, i've crash landed on a primitive, medieval tier planet twice, does it eventually get to space or what?
It's alright so far but goddamn the opening managed to really put me off
Ah bummer, do the aliens get more prominent as time goes on? Having the first alien race you meet be "Humans, but better" got me worried
Tyler Turner
>aliens Lower your expectations.
Ryder Rogers
Welcome to Star Ocean, only 4 let you travel between planets and it's the worst one, maybe 5 does
William Long
You seem unspoiled so if you enjoy it keep going and abandon the thread.
Liam Watson
oh nononono you poor faggot
Connor Jenkins
it gets pretty spacey and even interdimensional in 2nd and 3rd but yeah it's bullshit how you're going to have to spend the next 10 hours of gameplay in that elicorian shithole
Evan Parker
Please tell me the sick surfer dolphin guys come back, they come back, right?

We're here for you when you need us.

I think this is only game in the entire series where you actually get to go to space sometimes.
You pretty much just see human or human like characters from now on. None of your party members are anything non-human as well. The only thing that could be considered alien are some of the generic mobs.
Easton Green
Correction, one of you party members can be a midget race if you count that.
Alexander Miller
Keep playing till you get to the part where one of the medieval characters tells the MC, "sometimes you use weird things," so you can fully experience how bad the dialogue is, then quit.
Robert Watson
That pepita chick? Fucking bummer man, i might stick with it, but goddamn, i really thought i'd finally found my dream game of "Star control 2/origins, but it's an RPG"
Colton Turner
I like SO3, Rogue Galaxy is the better game for that
I've played 1 and 3. Are any of the other Star Ocean games worth playing. I enjoyed 1 somewhat and hated 3 (but that's partially due to it crashing 30+ times on me).
Zachary Murphy
and it's the worst game in the series so who cares
Jonathan Taylor
Up until the 4th game, Star Ocean is a normal fantasy RPG series that has sci-fi elements. You don't go to space in these games until waaaay later in. This one in particular is very slow-paced.
Noah Thomas
I liked 4 a lot. You get to go to about 7 different planets, only 1 of them was medieval and you get a big robot guy who shoots orbital lasers, huge fuckoff cannons, sprays missiles, a fucking black hole and his ultimate skill is a chainsaw.
2 is the best game in the series by a wide margin. 5 is the worst game in the series by a wide margin. 4 is ok. Better combat than 3, worse level design.
Cameron Murphy
2 is the only game in the series that usually has a general consensus of being worth playing even if you don't like any other SO game
4 is something of a meme. But it has standout aspects still I think it's something at least
5 isn't good. There's nothing worth anything in that mess
>Better combat than 3 Blindsides are a shit mechanic and you can't change my mind. Novel to start with but just fucking boring by the end.
Jace Watson
>Novel to start with but just fucking boring by the end. By the end you're not doing blindsides ever again, you're doing rush combos which is even more boring. Blindsides were fine and you didn't even need to do them except for one boss.
Nicholas Flores
Thank you for the responses. I shall try 2.
Brayden Perry
>pants just don't have a button What were they thinking here?
William Hill
Get out of this thread before some faggot spoil the twist for you.
Samuel Sanchez
Is the twist that the neutral tecnocracy dickheads who killed the MC's dad are actually evil because i 've already called that also i'm drunk
Brody Morales
Sophie really wanted Fayt to fuck her but he was too much of a dumb nerd to get the hint.
I'll be honest, I barely remember most of the combat mechanics besides blindsides specifically because they were so boring. And it'd depend on what character you were using. Faze required heavy use of them and I was using that twink a lot because I was doing BT bullshit. I had nothing else to play at the time. It's not a bad gaame but it's aggressively medioocre.

She gained weight on vacation and can't button them (you can find the wrappers in the trash in her room).
