Wrong. Sega actually wants to make money, and they have no prior arrangements with MS, of course it would be a multiplatform game.Totobeni said:but this is kinda confirm many guys theories about SE, tri-ace and PS3 .
look like forcing poor tri-ace to do exclusive Xbox 360 titles cost SquareEnix a good developer , stupid monyhat :lol .

Most of the SO4-bashing comes from people who haven't even played the game. And surprise surprise, it so happens that it's an exclusive game.

Hero of Legend said:Yep, including of Tales of Graces!
What does the info say about it?
but with less likeable charactersLagunamov said:Star Ocean 4 is Star Ocean 3
Keikoku said:This. I haven't played the game (Euroland here) and will probably skip it for TOV but the amount of hate is just ridiculous. I'm playing Valkyria Chronicles right now and I had an extraordinary amount of "facepalm moments" because of some embarassing dialogues and situations, is this a bad game because of that ? Clearly not. So quit the bitching about this, every game is not Vagrant Story.

jeremy1456 said:SO4 is superior to SO3, and is easily one of the best RPGs this gen. This, coming from someone who hated SO3.
People don't like it because of it's story/characters, but you know what? Those people represent the epitomy of everything that is wrong with the genre today.
You heard me.

alske said:Or it really is an abysmal story coupled with lackluster gameplay. Every large-ish RPG that I can think of that isn't by Tri-Ace is better than SO4.
jeremy1456 said:No, it's an abysmal story that's wrapped around a very fun game.
I can think of several large-'ish' RPGs that are not better than SO4.
alske said:I honestly don't know which you'd be referring to.
I also can't see where the "fun game" part of SO4 is. The dungeon exploring is tedious and unrewarding, the side-quests are boring, the skill system is shallow, the item creation takes a stupidly long amount of running around compared to 1 & 2, the battle AI is brokenly bad, and 99% of battles can be won by holding B and waiting for an enemy to walk up to you.
jeremy1456 said::lol
By played it, do you mean watched a few youtube videos?
I think it's time for me to leave.
Y2Kev said:I didn't think dungeon design was anything adventurous, but I only thought 1 dungeon was really atrocious, so that is a step up from IU (where every dungeon was atrocious).
I guess you can reduce it to a really simple formula, but I still think it's pretty addictive.

I'm on En II. So not yet.alske said:Are you at the last dungeon? I'd call that crap atrocious.
I don't think the game is terrible. It's just not anything above mediocre.
Kyoufu said:Well SO4 isn't even out in Europe yet. Should I not bother getting it? Haven't heard great things but I do remember seeing some nice-looking battles.

See, I disagree on a few of these. Pacing? I think SO4 has so far moved me along pretty briskly with pretty much zero backtracking. SO3 has a lot of that, and it is often not so clear where you need to go or what you need to be doing, so you can get bogged down.alske said:How much did you like SO3? I feel mostly the same way about 3 as I do 4. Terrible story, characters, pacing and dungeons. Shallow, repetitive battle system. Interesting leveling and item creation mechanics. Fantastic soundtrack.
Nuclear Muffin said:Aww, no DSi enhancements. That's a bummer, the game could've really benefitted from the camera and the internal/SD Card storage
