Star Ocean 4: More of it.

Apr 05, 2010 02:36

So I've picked it back up again, perhaps temporarily, perhaps not. Just about everything except the battle system and the item creation disappointed me into being more Squeenix-like than Star Ocean. I'd rather have a more involved item creation, but this takes out the guesswork.

The only plus is how much they pull from the other games. That's appreciative. The epicness is the usual for any game, but if I wanted something trendy, I'd play FF13. The drama jokes are the usual, which I've never appreciated. They range from too embarssing, too stupid, or too annoying.

Anyway, my tweaker sense is asking me to play this game and get more stuff. I dunno about platinuming this thing... it's not as impossible as katamari, to say the least... which is strange, since I thought it should be even more impossible. The lack of character picks is really a downer and while I appreciate splitting up the trophies to different characters, most of them are just too stupid.

I also really dislike the lack of exp boost at higher levels. Given how the difficulty goes up, it doesn't seem even worth it for me to ever play at anything other than earth or galaxy.
