    Star Ocean The Divine Force is a game that modernizes the series without losing its early JRPG charm. Loveable characters and a fantastic battle system are the main selling point here. Each of the party members you recruit play differently while still being fun. The story is PS2 golden age JRPG bliss. The PS4 version has some issue with framerate and performance but beyond that it is aStar Ocean The Divine Force is a game that modernizes the series without losing its early JRPG charm.

    the +

    - script
    - lifetime
    - we want to play the other opuses of the saga

    The lessers
    - a little aliasing (but it's not annoying)
    -drops in fps (but it's not annoying either)

    I highly recommend this game if you are curious, it is available on PS4/PS5, XBOX one/ serie XS & PC on steam

    This game has an amazing plot, likeable characters with developed personalities, and a memorable art style. The ending will stick with you for a very long time. I cannot give a 9.9 so a 10 shall suffice.
    Thank you for reading my review.

    If you want to take your time teasing out the story while also looking like you came off the cover of JRPG Vogue, then you’re in for a good time. [Issue#22, p.74]

    Star Ocean: Divine Force is a great role-playing game that arrives 15 years too late. It's a game that will keep you busy for hours, and a good effort to keep alive an lesser-known franchise.

    Star Ocean: The Divine Force is a game that needs more development. It has pretty solid and charming points, like its characters and gameplay mechanics, but on the other side, it does game some flaws that would discourage the purchase of any experienced RPG player. However, it is a fun and entertaining game. It has beautiful landscapes and mechanics that gradually become versatile and entertaining.
