Board 8 > Question about Star Ocean series?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Can I play number 4 the last hope if I never played any of the other star ocean games?
Or will I miss something if I play it first?

If you have PS3 you can still play the others. Well, maybe not 3 if you have a newer PS3, but you can still play 1 and 2

I think technically 4 is the first in the timeline anyway.

1 was for the SNES actually (and later remade for the PSP).

And lol playing the series for story.

Do not start with 3. Do not make the same mistake I did! It's a wonder I even tried SO2 after experiencing SO3's infamous plot twist.

Oh my bad, I only played the PSP version and assumed it was the same.

Well, he can still play SO2 then.

3 is awesome because Star Ocean is about gameplay, not story.

People rip on 3 for it's plot twist which is silly because they decide to judge the entire game on that sole factor. It's pretty damn fun until the final dungeons. Then it's a trainwreck.

the voice acting is demonic. but i think the ps3 version of 4 lets you pick the japanese voices, which is a case of 'do so if you want to hear again.'

3 kinda sucked at times, kinda didn't others. very mediocre game. ...still better than 1 which was really just not good at all. pretty game, mediocre soundtrack, meh gameplay, and the rest rather blew. 2 is supposed to be good but after 1 and 3 i'm still burnt out.

Obligatory post to dis Star Ocean: Till the End of Time:

- Terrible story
- Only three good characters
- Awful A.I. that only gets worse as the game goes on
- MP Death
- Poorly executed mini-games/side quests

As bad as most of SO4 was, I absolutely loved the gameplay.

Also, I haven't yet played 4 but I'm convinced I'll enjoy it.

- Only three good characters

Cliff's the manliest man of all men in mankind, Nel is a f***ing ninja mage with a mature and awesome personality, spoiler party member is psycho and awesome and fights like a boss character, Maria's a pretty damn good character too.. Well, only 3 orgasmic characters, but most of the characters are good

KrahenProphet and Kana are on opposite ends of the Awesome Spectrum.

And you were so close. I think that Cliff, Nel, and Mirage are the only three characters worth a damn

yeah he has personality problems but he's a badass

MP Death is awesome because it turns Nel into a goddamn tank.

Psycho is my second favorite SO3 character after Nel. After that is Cliff and I don't care about any of the rest. Fayt is useful in battle, but has about as much personality of a sheet of bubble wrap. Adray has a boss personality, but I could never make him useful in any of my teams battlewise. The rest are so eh.

Adray is pretty good when you realise he's a mage and not a fighter. He can replace Sophia for most of the game. Plus, he gets Southern Cross really early, and its an amazing spell.

Heh, true. Fayt's specials make him a substitute for a game played on Easy Mode, but that's his only saving grace really (it's certainly not his delightfully original Gary Stu dialogue or attitude). If you want to speed through the game not bothering with any of the low-level enemies with cheap attacks, then Fayt's your man.

I like 3 the most.I say for me it is 3>4>2>1.Also a lot of stuff to do on 3 and 4.Get 1 and 2 on PSP I say,they have extra stuff.
