This is what a Star Ocean game should look like. Stunning visuals, amazing battle system. It is just overall a very fun and very gorgeous Japanese Role Playing Game. The characters are interesting, and even the ones who are a bit on the quirky side, have very likable qualities about them. The game is also very lengthy, and those accustomed to Role Playing Games will find that they can easily put in 80+ hours into this game. After beating the story line, the real fun begins with the numerous side quest dungeons ranging from difficult, to incredibly hard as all hell difficult. This is not a game that should be overlooked. Even in a first quarter filled with the number of big name games being released as this one. The prospect for download able content is also very high, thus keeping the game around as a purchase, will definitely be worth it. I am basing my 10/10 without bias for role playing games or the Japanese variety. I am using a standard of the genre itself. It is an amazing RPG hands down.
