Garioshi posted... I don't want to be that guy, but the whole point of SO3 is that it doesn't matter if they're actually characters in a video game because you still care about them. Believe it or not, Star Ocean 2 was a video game all along before 3 came along! You played through it, even! If it was revealed tomorrow that we were unambiguously, 100% part of a simulation, absolutely nothing should change, because what happens in this world still matters. Star Ocean 3 is explicitly about this, and being mad at it for that shows an enormous lack of understanding of the game.
Please, don't even try to make star ocean 3's
"I thunk therefore I am" bullshit out to be some deep onion layers experience and I do not like it because "I don't get it", lol. The final boss was some
butt-hurt admin named lucifer because that is totally deep who got upset that game characters clicked their heels three times and learned to feel like real boys and girls, and when he actually succeeded in sending the verses into the recycle bin after they kicked his ass fate leinGOD and friends restored it by I gotta' believe!! parappa the rapper style. Like I already said, that crap did not do anything
the matrix didn't already do like 5 years prior.
