Many characters and anStar Ocean 4 was in my opinion one of the best rpg games ever made. You had allot of hidden stuff you could explore. Many characters and an arena. I can't tell how many thousands of hour I've been playing this game but it was allot. The only 3 things I did not like in this game was
   
   1. Very complicated questing when you've done 1 thing wrong and you failed in a huge amount of other quest, achievements and so on. Without any information it was very hard to not mess something up so you didn't had to start all over.
   
   2. Some very long dungeons did not have any Savecores where you could save your progress. Very huge dungeons had a very high chance that the game freezes or something else so you've done all the hour of work for nothing. This happened to me billion times.
   
   3. Sadly Square Enix messed up the Remaster version so you are not able to set the volume, sounds like you would wish to. So playing this game on PS4 while having a party conversation is a pain. The dialogs volume is like 60% and music and the rest is at 100% that's make it hard to understand what the character are actually talking about. So I stick with the 360 version.
   
   But after all that Square failed with the Remastered Version just because of the volume sadness the game itself is just godlike. Star Ocean games for ever.… Expand

It's much more than i was expecting and just fall in love with it. I wood have paid full price knowing what i know now but for 20€ ? It's the best game I've ever bought for that money. If you like RPG games and games like Nino Kuni or White Knight Chronicles this is a must buy.Everything in this game it's to like but the only detail wood be AAA new generation graphics, graphics are descent still. If your looking for an incredible Adventure and a magnificent Story, this is your game besides the combat it's awesome .… Expand

   I'm really early doors with this game I have been pleasantly surprised but I am on the fence.

   1st. I'm near the start and it is not clear where I should be going. The run speed is too slow. It feels over complicated. Bad borders, looks like I can go somewhere but can't.
   
   For the good. This game is gorgeous. I don't mind things not looking perfect as long as it works, and this works. OST, so far it is perfect. I'm really loving the music and it is definitely enhancing the experience. Now I'm going to do some comparison's. Recently I have been playing Ys 8 and Tales of Arise. Ys8 is digital and after a lot of hours, quite frankly, I'm damned bored and won't be playing again. Tales of Arise was so bad I traded it already. Now this is the weird bit. I'm a big Ys and Tales fan and a big Square Enix hater. This game for me is totally smashing Ys8 and Tales of Arise. It is fun, the characters are much better than those irritating Yankee idiots. Even the fan service has been done better. So SO4K (I'm playing in 1080p) looks good, sounds good and feels good. It has much better characters and story telling. Arise was boring and Ys8 felt like it was written by children. The game world is nicer. The whole thing is just better.
   
   I think in the few hours I have had with this I enjoyed it more than the 15 - 20 hours spent with the fore mentioned games.
   
   This is my first SO and if I continue enjoying it then I think I will soon be a new fan.
   
   I am currently playing Fire Emblem and Xenoblade X on my WiiU, Persona 5 Royal on my PS4 and a ton of stuff on my Switch and Steam and this feels absolutely up there with the best of what I'm playing at the mo'.… Expand

   After playing every Star Ocean game available (and loving 90% of them) I can honestly say this one is a bit of a let down. I seriouslyAfter playing every Star Ocean game available (and loving 90% of them) I can honestly say this one is a bit of a let down. I seriously expected more from this series. I wish I could rate it higher then 7 but several things take the score down quite a bit.
   
   Problem #1 is the english voice acting. Reimi was the only voice actor who didn't make me cringe during dialog. The rest are borderline atrocious, with one character decimating that line altogether. I'm not sure what to make of Lymle. If the voice actor was going for a lobotomized, traumatized child then they're spot on. Seriously, she sounds like she has suffered massive head trauma. Acting lessons are good, kay?
   
   Problem #2. The special arts of one Edge Maverick (seriously who came up with these names? Cliche much?). Many do less damage per second then just spamming the basic attack. While they do more damage per button press, when you spread that damage over multiple hits and you factor in the time it takes for each skill to finish they do less damage and take more time then pressing the basic attack button 5 times. Not to mention how they leave you more vulnerable during the time it takes to execute that skill. Making them more risk then reward.
   
   Pros: Beautiful graphics. Although the land could use a bit more foliage the character models and many of the textures are beautifully rendered. The addition of being able to swap between Anime or "Modern" style for the artwork is a definite plus. The ability to swap VO languages and to experience the game with Japanese VO is a definite plus as well. Especially when you take into consideration Lymle's annoying English VO and the poor overall quality of the English VO.
   
   If you're going to play this game swap it over to Japanese VO. I expected more from this series, I really did.… Expand

   Star Ocean The Last Hope is a very interesting JRPG but requires a great number of hours to complete it 100 %. I just played this game for theStar Ocean The Last Hope is a very interesting JRPG but requires a great number of hours to complete it 100 %. I just played this game for the story and to unlock all the endings. I was not going to gather all the battle trophies, spaceship data, weapon data, monster data, possible items and treasure chests because it takes a lot of time. Also, I did not finish all quests, colosseum challenge, bunny racing, and I did not try to defeat two superboss because it requires a great level (Lv. > 160-200) to defeat them. To complete this game 100 %, you should take more than 200 hours. All this is very interesting but still a little too much.
   
   I will not talk about the graphics because the graphics was also good on the PS3. I do not judge the game according to the graphics. I will actually talk about story and battle system.
   
   Story: The story of this game first begins with the exploration of the universe and then is directed towards saving the universe. I like this game beacause the exploration of the universe. In previous games, the story usually takes place on one or two planets, while in this game the story takes place on several planets. Through Private Actions, you learn the individual stories of each character and their interaction, which additionally complements the main story. Generally speaking, the story is very interesting, in some parts it is funny and in some parts it is serious.
   
   Battle system: The battle system has advanced far enough from the predecessor. The characters no longer die if the MP comes to zero, and new functions such as Blindsiding and Rush Combos contribute to improving the battle system. In this game, also it is much easier to fill out the bonus board than it was in Star Ocean Till the End of Time. All these new functions make the battle system much more interesting, and I think this is the best battle system in Star Ocean games.
   
   Conclusion: I gave this game 8 out of 10 for the story and battle system, while for minigames and sidequests I give 5 out of 10. My average rating then would be for this game 6.5 out of 10, so I will round the score to 7 out of 10.… Expand
