Well he does look like a bad green version of Buzz Lightyear. o:

Not wearing any clothes, either... this industry isn't progressive at all.I'm sick of these impossible waistlines in my video game characters.

I like that gif, I thought it was pretty silly scene in a game, but it was more in category so bad it's good.
You people are so serious
Yoshiharu Gotanda did the story for SO2 alone. Ogawa was one of the planners (i.e. game designers) for SO2.The story director who also handled SO2, and 3.
I know you are joking but If we use the worst case example for every game, then every game would look just as horrible too.
Ogawa's work in SO2 and 3 was decent, outside of the very, very off plot twist in 3.
And his fucking dialogue...People complain about little girl characters or characters who have poor understanding of what the concept of clothing is, but the worst design in the series is definitely Bacchus.
Neon green, lanky, Lego Bionicle-looking Buzz Lightyear ripoff. God, he looked terrible.

Can't say I agree. I'm okay with the usual Tri-Ace silliness, but that scene is just so bad it's just bad.
And I'm definitely not a serious person.
but tri-Ace silliness isn't so bad it's good, it is usually good, so you might be more serious than you think. Just a thought.
Actually playing SO4 for the first time I laughed a lot, and I mean a lot, mostly at things being unbelievably bad, as that scene with Edge, you know which one (I was thinking" is this for real? I couldn't stop laughing actually), almost at the beginning of a game, or preposterously ridiculous as SO4 Welch.
Only Lymle was not even funny on any level, just annoying.
But I didn't say Tri-Ace silliness is so bad it's good! It's just regular silliness, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Also, I'm gonna take being more serious than I think as a compliment lol
I wonder if I still have my SO4 disc somewhere. Haven't played the game in a long time and I kinda feel like trying my hand at breaking the game with item synthesis.
He is the primary reason I refused to play 4. I saw him and just said hell no. I loved Star Ocean 3 but I have my limits.People complain about little girl characters or characters who have poor understanding of what the concept of clothing is, but the worst design in the series is definitely Bacchus.

I wonder if now that they are going to be closer to SO2-3 they will talk more about the twist on 3...
I suppose people hoping for a retcon has their best shot on this game =P
And Tri-Ace's comedy is not the best, but I enjoy it. You can facepalm at that scene and know that at least it was intended...

There are some pretty great game-breaking item synthesis tricks in the XB360 version but alas, they were patched for the PS3 version as far as I know.
Yea, i felt at many times during the whopping...5? 6? hours i could stomach it that the game was making fun of me for purchasing it.
I am a pretty laid back guy and I love my videogames and everyone who knows me irl knows that, but that's the first time I have ever been embarrassed paying a game, made even worse with the fact that no one was in the room with me that whole time. Reimi was forgettable but not bad, i thought Edge would be the worst, but literally everyone else was far, far worse/terrible and i was filled with such genuine disgust that i returned it the next day.
To say that i am even interested in the next game at all is a testament to my love of JRPGs imo.
Really? Goddamn it, the PS3 version is the only one I've got at the moment
Hate it when stuff like that gets patched. It's not hurting anyone, quite the opposite even.

Yeah. Ignoring is also a way of retconning I suppose (DMC2 hey).I think they intentionally try to avoid that twist, it really screwed up everything. It's good that there are so big time gaps between the games, so they can make games "inbetween" for a while, don't touching the twist itself.
Oh boy, I don't remember most of this. Thanks for the writeup.Well we know one thing for certain.
The guy who created the Gravitic Warp engines in the spaceships in Star Ocean 3, was a scientist named Dr. Krupp, and he created these engines on SD 537.
And Star Ocean 5 takes place also on SD 537, so It's very likely we may run into this Dr. Krupp guy.
Also with the inclusion of a Time Gate (SO1 and SO3) and the ability to back or possibly forward through time. And then there is the potential of a multiversefor example.Alternate Earth in SO4
This means the time could be changed to prevent events in SO3 Or rather exist alongside them but not mess up anything else. OR be an alternate reality within SO universe which a 3rd universe existsAn Earth that was not destroyed but completely different than the one in Star Ocean 1, 2, and 4
There is plenty of options that be utilized. Withthing in Star Ocean 4, basically tri-Ace gave themselves a way to not write the story into a corner.alternate Earth
Also just like Star Ocean 1, the Time Gate can be used to go back in time and fix events (If the Time Gate allows them to).
So only tri-Ace knows what will happen with the series plot and it's future.
See?
SO3 Welch was pretty decent as a support char but SO4 Welch.... fml
But yeah, SO4 had a lot of things that were good but the stuff that was bad was realllllly bad. The stuff listed earlier in the thread are examples of some good things it got right.
lemme guess, you wouldn't watch Wanted or Transformers even if your life depended on it?
I wasn't offended by SO4, gameplay is good and as I said, I had a good laugh out of it, don't really care that for wrong reasons.

I bet my girl nel still looks pretty even through emulator <3
Also..i've always wondered why Sophia has her jeans unzipped in the beginning with no sign of actual underwear. Like is it that open in outer space? Is this some Blue Gender esque shit?

Protagonist, Fidel is slightly older than standard JRPG lead, 23 years old.
SO3 with an upped rendering resolution looks pretty great inside battles!
The cutscene models though... lol
Okay I definitely have to retry playing SO3 on PCSX2, the last time I tried it in 2009 or so it looked very blurry even with a upped resolution but this looks really good!
Cause she's a slut
A lot of people hated Lymle, but I really disliked Sarah. The way she spoke. :/
Yeah to fix that just use the X+ Triangle combo on boot to enable progressive mode! It's as you described unless you enable it.
"Yes, most of the NTSC games that support progressive scan are also progressive in PAL. However, a handful of PAL titles have had the progressive scan feature removed ... some examples are: SSX3, Splashdown Rides gone Wild, Star Ocean 3, Grant Turismo 4 ..."
Yeah she was my most hated character too and switching languages didn't help like it did with Lymle.
