I don't remember a damn thing about SO4, at least with SO3 I remember the twist as annoying as it was. *shrug*
It's this shit that's finally gonna get me to play itSO4 is the epitome of "Gameplay is King"
You can ignore a shit story and shit characters when the gameplay is just that good.
Sakuraba absolutely loves going in on these lol
I'm gonna lump in SO3's too, because a proper run of the game has you hearing it A LOT and it's still good.
Drums, bass, and organ are having a great time.
That is an awesome feature that feels weird to take out. I think it's part of why I kept playing longer than I meant to because it was fun filling it up and going on a combat tear.
That's Star Ocean 3. This one had a complete map overlayHey wait, was this the Star Ocean that rewarded you for uncovering the overworld maps 100%? I remember struggling with paralyzing OCD back then, I could not continue playing it due to those haze nudging bits. As for the characters, I can't remember a single one of them, which probably means they made zero impression.
I beat it by playing as one of the girls (I think it was Myuria?) and I just spammed healing and buffs for the entire battle while the CPU characters did all the damage.I remember quiting at the end of the game. I didn't want to grind to make the final boss(s?) easier. I had had enough.
I think that was the case, the time of the battle. It was years ago, so it's a little hard to remember exactly. I just know the "twist" and boss fight had my eyes rolling so far back I might have gotten whiplash. I was just done, lol.I beat it by playing as one of the girls (I think it was Myuria?) and I just spammed healing and buffs for the entire battle while the CPU characters did all the damage.
It was pretty easy, but I think it took around 40 minutes or so lol
Yeah, I think Faize (or however you spell his name) was my least favorite character in the game. Even before the twist, I didn't care much for him. After the twist, I was ready to leave his ass to die lolI think that was the case, the time of the battle. It was years ago, so it's a little hard to remember exactly.

It's kind of ridiculous how well this game still holds up visually. Like, I feel as if I'll stumble upon this thread somehow in 2026, remember that I posted this, and still agree.
