My question is which JRPG should I get. Im a ps3and JRPG fan and right now thats a pretty bad combo since the 360 has better JRPGS and a lot more and I really would like to play some JRPGS. Which should I buy, Lost Odyseey or Star Ocean 4? Star Ocean 4 has a fun and addictive combat system but from what Ive read a pretty weak story. Lost ODyssey has a great story and great characters, so which game should i get?

I enjoyed Lost Odyssey but have yet to play Star Ocean. Personally, I believe Lost Odyssey has a decent challenge, due to level caps. The first couple of bosses are challenging, although most after that are simple okay as far as challenge goes. Of course, side quests will make the final boss a breeze though. Lost Odyssey is one of my favorite games, and it's only like $30 now. As I said above though, I haven't played Star Ocean.

I have both, and im gonna have to say SO4. LO has better characters and a slightly better story, but SO4's battle system is more fun and it has more side content.

Lost Odyssey - Less expensive, better story and characters, great turn-based combat, and a longer game overall.

I would have to say star ocean. you cant really lose because they're both good games. i haven't had the chanceto play either as much as i would like to but i like them both. it really just comes down to whether you want a turn based rpg or the action battle kind.

Well, it really comes down to what you like more either turn-based combat or real-time combat.

I got Lost Odyssey and the story seems to be really interesting but the turn-based combat is just slow and boring, but Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope has real-time combat and I am thinking about getting but haven't decided yet.

I'd have to say LO even though i can't really judge since SO4 comes out in april in PAL regions so i have yet to play it. LO was phenomenal though so i can only recommend LO.
