Thats a bummer. I cant imagine the PS3 version running very well anyway. Then again maybe im wrong.

The PS4 version is pretty great. The CE for it came with some cool stuff and the guide is hardcover with some good artwork on it

Yeah. Even right around launch the guide for second evolution went up to about 50 bucks. The guide for Last Hope International was about about 60 bucks 8 years ago.

So glad i got them before they got even more out of hand.

I actually reserved my copy of the second evolution's strategy guide at my local gamestop but something happened and barely any stores got shipment for them. Had to go to the gamestop damn near the next county over just for this guide. Funny enough most of the guide's contents is the exact same as the original star ocean 2 physical guide for the PS1 version, but the new guide has all the new private actions and whatnot in it so its cool. I like collecting the physical guides for jrpgs in general, and star ocean's guides are usually some of the best ones. (There was that sort of huge mistake in the last hope's guide that will lock you out of a ending if you followed it though, lol. It was the reimi ending if I remember correctly). Star ocean 5's guide had the most effort put into it with a nice hardcover despite the game itself being "eh", lol.

But yeah, in retrospect I am glad I took the effort to go out of my way to get it because goddamn its really up there in price now.

I'm getting gatekept hard by these last few dungeons; they're within other dungeons (making the trek back to restock longer) and everything has the ability to murder my party by itself.

Not sure where you're at but I think those angels are the strongest enemy in the game as far as regular encounters go. You basically have to treat them like bosses and go all out.

I'm in the dungeon that appears to be in space (?), immediately after the dungeon with the rolling balls, changing doors, and hexagonal floors.

Looking at the picture in the opening post I sometimes have to remember that for whatever dumb-ass reason the xbox did not get that 4K remaster that released on both PSN and the PC. I know the 4K remaster is based on the international PS3 version, but square still took the effort of actually porting this to the PC and not also the xbox lol.

It is kinda strange. The game started on Xbox and just kinda left it in the dust. Maybe Squenix thought it wasnt worth the trouble and thought the Playstation was more weeb friendly.

this. ignore flauros lmao. Star Ocean 2 is incredible... not without its flaws, but it is a damn good game and I had to replay it many times to even get as far as I did, which was not entirely to the end. Still, no regrets and I still appreciate it to this day

I also got really into Star Ocean recently (finished 2 a long time ago, but bought 1, 3 and 4 to play). 3 was really good but 4 was a slog to get through. I didn't even bother killing the last boss because the last dungeon sucks to grind in and I just watched the ending on Youtube instead. The whole game feels like it's intentionally designed to waste your time.

I saved a clip to show a poster on this site that asked me if the PS5 is capable of maxing out all the graphics options without fps drops (of course it is, but this dude had doubts for some reason) a few months ago and I didn't notice anything about the movement stopping:

Man I pre-ordered star ocean 3 back when it originally released, and as much as I actually liked it's gameplay/side kicking dimension dooring fists of furying everything that looks at me funny alongside the nice amount of side-stuff to do to this day I still fucking hate that twist and think its the most garbage jrpg plot twist of all-time. All these years and my hatred of the twist has yet to falter, lmao. You can almost kind of feel that whoever was responsible for coming up with that regrets it because to this day they still repeatedly make nothing but star ocean prequels....like they are afraid or flat out just do not know how to address it to set star ocean games after part 3.
