Bad side is that battles can be clunky, camera can go wild and often when you want to attack and your character will run and try to reach an enemy for a long period and fail. It's like the Tales franchise especially when you remember the beginning of the review where you learned that Tales of Phantasia DEVs worked on this title. They are more like a grid on which you move and point your character to attack/special attack an enemy. Star Ocean offers battles in which you can use Roddick and 3 teammates. You remember that ancient saying in RPGs? The one that says that you press one button gazillion of times? Prepare your joystick and thumbs. It can also lead to a different ending, so make sure to aim towards the one you prefer (yeah, you need to look them up in some guides). It doesn't apply to all, but it does apply. Private actions are also chained - when you watch one, you will unlock another in some other town.

I strongly insist that you do, as they circle up the whole story very well, plus they add to the whole experience. Having in mind that exploring this part means indulging in optional parts of the game, not everyone will experience them. They are nothing more than solo runs through the town while trying to find your members to chat about their background stories or simple funny situations. Also, upon clearing the story in a town, you can enjoy in Private Actions. That also means you will not be able to enter some dungeons or do some quests that only initiate when you have a certain team member.

Keep in mind that if you take a particular character, you may lose the opportunity to use other characters later in the game. My aim was to have 2 fighters and 2 mages. You can't change much at the start, but upon arriving in the first town, the first optional character awaits. The madness and decisions start soon after the beginning. Now, do I need that girl or should I wait for some other useless character? It's a great way to add replay value to the game. In all scenes you will see your current party and listen to their unique comments. Depending who you recruit, it will change the dialogue a bit. Anyway, each character has his own backstory. Who to pick? Maybe pick ones based on their hair color. This game offers more optional characters than main ones, plus you can take just 4 out of 9. The only thing that sucks is that enemies attack every few seconds. Just a pinch of nostalgia to focus on 96' graphics when you embark on your adventure to make you feel like a real adventurer. Star Wars/Trek meets the JRPG.Ī world map is also here. What that means is that most of the stuff is hidden and optional, so making the most out of it depends on you. It is neat, cool and somewhat familiar, but well put into this universe with a few twists and an emphasis on the player himself. Our heroes will now travel through time, learn what the computers are and they will find that cure!įeel the gentle breeze and enjoy the simple life. Just after the first few stops, they will witness a space miracle Ronyx and Ilia visit with the space ship and to summarize things - there is no cure in this era, as the host from which the virus was created is long gone. The journey starts and the road ahead is a long one. Nothing matters anymore, but to save the people and help Dorne. That nasty virus is turning people into stones and Millie's father is not spared. After few bandit kills, Roddick and the gang find out that there is a vicious disease not far from their small lovely town. The story starts in the small town where Roddick, our protagonist, defends the gate of the village. This was the perfect time and period to finally try how it all began. Mostly I remember the second story, which is the next Star Ocean title. Yep, how else to travel through time and space having the same hair color? Star Ocean is a small and cute, sweet adventure, an old school experience written using space references. Well, considering this was 96', we have nice anime plus good audio. What's new? HD graphics, new artwork, Japanese voices.And that my folks is all.

Now, 11 years later, this remaster (yet another port) was done for our beloved consoles - PS4 and Switch.

Finally, in 2008 there was a PSP port for a wider audience. Of course, only Japan was honored to enjoy such a perspective title.

Imagine voice acting in the scenes and animations at that time. It was during the time of their first project. Fun fact is that many of Namco employees which worked on the Tales of Phantasia at the time (great game btw), "crossed" over to tri-Ace.

This company developed what I’m talking about in this review. "Three Aces", former Telenet Japan employees - Yoshiharu Gotanda (programmer, current tri-Ace President), Masaki Norimoto (game designer) and Joe Asanuma (director), formed tri-Ace. New remaster from Square Enix, wow that is weird.
