I really liked StarOcean 2 and 3. None are my favorite game, but both were solid. I didnt like the ending in both case, but the story on the way was pretty interesting, with a few nice plot twist.
One of the problem I see with SO3 is how they presented 4D world and the Eternal Sphere game. There is contradicting infos between the dictionary entries and certain scense, but the concept work according to the bit of information they gave away. Eternal sphere isn't simply a computer program, but a man made controlled by computers. In a way, it's similar to creating an universe within a blackhole, and control it using a computer. It's science fiction, but the base of the concept work to some extent from a physics standpoint.
If you think of the character as binary data on a computer similar to our, it obviously sound lame/weak, but there is more to that.
As far as Star Ocean's go. Star Ocean 3 was defintly my least favorite. As incomplete as SO1 was it's my favorite. Fayt is a whiny bitch imho
How is SO3 incomplete? I cant say the happy/philosophical was the best I've seen, they could have done something better, but the game was still complete. had many plot twist, character development and a conclusion.
