Picked this up the other day, and having a pretty great time with it so far. The amount of customization and stuff is kind of absurd lol, but i love it. The game actively gives you all the tools to become a monster whenever you want

Anyone else playing this?

Currently at thirty eight hours. Just above level 100.

Played it originally when I was a kid, so I'm really enjoying playing it again.

They did a really good job updating the classic.

I'm on my second playthrough now to get the characters I didn't the first time. I've been waiting for a good Chrono style NG+ where you just stomp everything the second time.

Every day I wake up and promise I will be nice to everyone, then I deal with people at work and remember why that will never happen.

I'm basically doing the same.

With my Claude run through, I got Celine, Welch, Ashton, Precis, Chisato and Leon (Ashton teaches a thing to Precis, Precis teaches a thing to Welch).

My Rena run will have Dias, Opera, Operas boyfriend, Noel, Bowman and probably Celine.

I've been playing since day one. I've always loved this game and they've made so many interesting improvements. It's the most fun I've had playing a "new" game all year, with Super Mario Bros Wonder being a close second.

The environmental graphics are really good. Walking along the beach to fish looked great

The only thing I really hate is you can't rotate the camera when in towns

In my top 3 fave games this year.

It also plays a lot better. This is a real classic JRPG remake done right.

i am into classic JRPGs but not into anime or into really super weeby fanservicey modern JRPGs. i remember briefly playing the first Star Ocean back in the day but i got distracted by other games and never went back to it. it wasn't bad though. would i like the SO2 remake?

From what ive played so far there has been 0 fan service or anything like that

I would definitely recommend this game if youre looking for a more old school experience. Theres a ton of modern quality of life added of course, but its a lot of fun.

Played the psp version and had no idea what was happening with

Battles, because everyone just spammed all their magic at the start and then died

Skills had no explanation at all

The explanations seem to be better than before now haha. There is a LOT to take in when the game opens up but it is mostly well explained

Is this an FF type of thing where all the games are separate stories? I havent played any Star Ocean games before but this sounds good

You can play this game with 0 knowledge of the series. Its a sequel to 1 but its barely connected outside of a character or 2, that really have no bearing on the plot

its been a while since ive played a game that actively wants you to break it and abuse its systems as much as this one does

You can spend like an hour in the menus and emerge with a team of absolute warriors
