I will always hold a soft spot for 3. It was the first one that I played. It also had Nel making up for Fayt's sheer fucking derpy vibes. The invention system was pretty expansive, but was let down the randomness factor. I know they had random numbers to avoid spamming "lol, Orichalcum weapons in seconds", but holy crap. And goddamnit that plot twist. I know the story was barebones basic shit...but I knew that was a wet fart in church of a twist, even without context. I've never forgiven them for that. 1 and 5 were serviceable (thought 5's budget led to some weird ass visuals). I'm not expecting much here. I give the series credit for being unabashed Star Trek nerds and dripping in that style. It's not good or anything, but I love the Trek-ness dripping from it whenever it isn't drowning in anime.

But yes. Whoever designs these characters can't make faces for crap. Elena has THE BOOBS...but make a fucking face. Good dub cast though. Unless they have that little girl or robot saying "kay," it'll at least beat as decent as 3 and 5 was.

As for anyone asking, Star Ocean is standalone. Given the spotty nature of its releases, it sure as fuck benefits from not being connected to anything. I'm just shocked they even have the balls to still exist after 3's shitty twist. It was all a video game via a parallel world, the characters were computer data, and the main villain was a stupid programmer dude.
