This game's reputation is somewhat deserved. Play this game with the original Japanese voice acting. The English voice acting is horrible. So bad some of the characters make you want to shut the audio off completely. If the 4th character doesn't give you a headache then you should be able to endure the rest of the horrible English VO.

So bad some of the characters make you want to shut the audio off completely. If the 4th character doesn't give you a headache then you should be able to endure the rest of the horrible English VO. The game has a terribly cliched story and the script seems to have been written by a 10 year old. Probably one of the worst entries in the Star Ocean series due to the VERY sexist portrayal of the main female protagonist. She actually says "Now maybe I'll be of use to someone." The way the male protagonist turns into a whiny little baby during part of the story is also a huge issue. Several plot holes are left unresolved and the use of Deus Ex Machina in the story is atrocious. The PC port has limited resolutions. I suggest using Special K if you're using the steam version and you use a resolution other then the 6 or 8 they allow. All that being said it is STILL a Star Ocean game so it's probably better then a lot of the drivel coming out of the game industry now but honestly it was a disappointment.… Expand
