Star Ocean

Any fans? I'm trying to beat Second Evolution. I've beaten First Departure. I love the ability to increase stats with SP after leveling up. It's a nice way to control what your characters develop in and out of battle.

I haven't played the PS2/3 games yet!

I got very close to beating Star Ocean 3 (Till the End of Time) and lost interest. Tried a few months ago to start over and only got an hr in before the slow storytelling and meh battle system reminded me of why I quit. It's worth getting (used) but it's gonna take quite an effort to go back and finally beat it.

My friend gave me that one for free, so I bought the PSP games and played those instead. Haha. Silly how things work out that way. I'm seriously raging at how bad the dialogue is in Second Evolution though. The amount of time spent on trivial conversation is just obnoxious and stereotypical of bad RPG dialogue.

"I guess I'll wait here."

.....

"No, I'll go after her."

"Oh, hi..."

"Is everything alright? :["

"Yeah, don't worry about it. :]"

No point. At all.
