Star Ocean 1 & 2 Remake/Port for PSP AND future SO4

They tell you about it in the beginning of the game! =P
You can also press the left trigger while running and itll turn on auto-run.

That's what I was talking about. I locked it on autorun outside of a building/Calnus and left it on. When I entered a building and noticed he was walking I thought autorun didn't work inside.

And yeah Ramor, I know I can do chain combos with others during rush mode. <.<

/Does not read manuals.

[Klain]

I didn't know you could autorun, but I knew you would Walk/Run and Sprint, I feel kinda retarded now lol

So I got up to the final boss last night, and lost after running out of revival items. That fight certainly is a war of attrition. That thing must have several million HP as I STILL couldn't take it down after 30 minutes of beating on it.

Spoiler: show

Yeah, for a last fight that fight was pretty amazing. It took me about 20 minutes my first time. Its a serious endurance fight.

Because changing something that will somewhat upset part of their user base will magically get them new customers.

So...I just fought Gabriel Celesta for time #5. Shit's fucking hard, gets harder every time hes fought lol. 2 more times and I can get his monster jewel ; ;
It gives like +2 added hits, adds no guard effect 10% hp and something else though so should make universe/chaos modes a breeze.

Edit: Gotta be fucking kidding me...gamefaqs is full of so much shit...his jewel is +10% HP/lightning balls when guarding.
Son.
of.
a.
bitch.

I got the serpents staff where do i gooo ((

[Fayttt]

make it eat the chain that was on the pendulum thing in area 7
its the right (direction-wise) exit in the second spacey area

also: rofl i need a life, i just hit 108 hours.

[Julian]

I'm in the meteorite area where you have to walk into the spots before the doors form, but I can't for the life of me find a way to the pendulum area

[Klain]

I'm at 72 myself, don't feel bad lol

[Julian]

ugh, finally found it, only took 30 minutes -_-

[Fayttt]

Yeah that area was a pain in the ass since you have to get close to the door or position the sun to hit it to make it show up..I was in there for like 2 hours =x

[Julian]

how long are the cutscenes after the final boss? >_>;

[Klain]

Xenosaga long, seriously

[Fayttt]

i actually just watched/timed them because i thought i was going to get meracle's ending
they're about 45min-1hr

They really needed the ability to continue cutscene dialogue in this, ugh. The characters talk sooo slowly, and the cutscenes tend to really beat around the bush. This is the first RPG in a long time where I've just started reading a book and half paying attention during the cutscenes. (I know you can skip them, but I would like to get the gist of what's going on...)

I swear 15+ hours of my 30 hours (at the final boss) has been sitting through cutscenes that just drag on and on. For 60%+ of the game I played as Edge, and during the first boss fight in the final dungeon I finally got his "Fight as leader for 120 minutes" trophy, ugh.

Example dialog:

Spoiler: show

Kenny: Have you decided?
Edge: <long pause> I have made my decision
Kenny: <longer pause> I see, you have made your decision?
Edge: <even longer pause> ...sigh...I have traveled with my friends, and they have helped me to make my decision
Kenny: I see, then your decision has indeed been made
Edge: <kills self>


Faize: I shall create a world where nobody needs to be saved!
Party: Noooo!
Faize: Yes, with this power, a world where nobody needs to be saved will surely be created!
Party: Faize! Stop!
Faize: You are too weak. I will create a world where nobody needs to be saved!
Party: We will stop you!
Faize: Let's fight, and see if I will create a world where nobody needs to be saved!

[Julian]

Yeah, I felt the same way you did.

This game feels so incredibly freaking short, I could probably go through the whole thing in less than 10 hours just skipping the cutscenes.

Also, I felt there was a real lack of "normal" dialog. Why did every single event have to become a cut scene? They could have made this game a lot longer if they reserved cutscenes for important dialog and used regular dialog for everything else. It also would have felt faster on us, because we can read on our own pace and X (w/e the 360 equivalent is) through the dialog as we digest it, instead of waiting for the super slow voice acting and cutscene.

sigh, next-gen games -_-

I wish, then maybe they could have squeezed it all on 2 discs at the most, cutting down on all the disc swapping at end game.
