This is not a good game, this game is decent. The world and its graphics are interesting and awful at the same time. I loved the story and hated it too. The protagonist is a big weeny and needs a boyfriend. Anyway, the combat is niche as heck. It’s Tales series in space, so it’s arena sort of rpg-action style, which I love! But I can see how it’s just not something the average gamer will enjoy. I love the space setting and the unique feeling of all the characters. The projectile characters, except the robot, are all better than the melee characters. Essentially pick a melee character if you want to play hard mode, until you unlock a certain edgy character that breaks the game. Star Ocean is a fun game with a decent item creation system and fun cast of characters. I like the game a lot but I can see how it’s just a mess sometimes. You’ll either love it or feel meh about it, but it’s not mediocre, it’s not meh, it’s barely average. I would say it’s above average because of how unique Star Ocean is, but it will never be decent all the time. The obvious combat shortcomings like being swamped as a melee character and some characters just being awful to use holds the game back from being a 6 all the time. 5.8
to rate this game.
