Some Star Ocean talk a couple pages back, is Till the End of Time on ps2 any good? I have it and was thinking about trying it out. I played 10 min or so a couple nights ago but obviously not even close enough to have an opinion on it. Although Fayt seems Tidus-ish, lol.
Star Ocean 3 is the worst RPG I've ever finished. Which indicates two things:
1) I did finish it. It was a long game, and it took me a long time to sit through it all, but I was pretty bored and did eventually finish it.
2) It fucking sucked.
The story is horse shit, unsurprisingly, and it has a twist so shockingly stupid that I stopped playing the game for like 2 months. It does have more of the futuristic trappings, but not enough to save it from generic fantasy nonsense. So, I guess that's almost cool. The voice acting is decent enough for some characters, and absolute clown shit for others.
The gameplay is the real issue, though. The battle system is fucking
annoying. Basically, your party is completely fucking useless when you let the AI control them, but it's a real-time battle system, so you kinda have to let them do their thing. They let you set the AI's parameters so that they focus on defense or conserve MP, but they usually don't listen. The best part, though? You die when your MP hits 0. So, your stupid fucking allies will either use no magic at all, or waste MP like there's no tomorrow, and then an enemy will use an MP-stealing attack and take like 2 MP from them, and your ally will die. This happens ALL. THE. GODDAMN. FUCKING. TIME. If you choose the alternative, and have them just never use magic, it takes forever to kill enemies. Or you can't kill them, because they're only weak to magic. Great!
Also, Huxley is a fucking piece of shit.
