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

[Kaylia]

I thought trophy added a lot of replay value, with the 3 difficulty levels.

I don't know how I missed this thread.

I love Star Ocean 2 it's one of my favorite RPGs for sure. Is it possible to play PSP games on a PC so I don't have to buy one? <.< I bet the remake will kick ass.

Also SO3 wasn't that bad. I just don't think it had as much replay as SO2. Also Flying Guillotine was like 20x more broken then anything in SO2 and some of SO2's stuff was pretty overpowered. >.>

They fixed that in the directors cut/EU version quite a few moves were broken though.

If you knew what you were doing, an overlevelled Albel or Fayt with an mp damage setup could clear a fight just as fast as Guillotine spam, and without blowing all your mp. For postgame, a level 99 Fayt can get enough def to take 0 damage from everything on Galaxy (needs a buff against Freya if you want him to use an actual weapon though).

PSP emulators do exist, but none are really in a playable stage yet, sadly.

It's too bad even at level 255 with 8 30% boots of prowess refined onto a weapon on universe/4D difficulty youll still take damage from freya/lenneth though ._.

Yeah well, you don't get to universe/4D Freya using such tactics anyway >.>

[Charla]

Right. And if you aren't going for the 0 damage trophy against them, it's a bit easier to use a real weapon and stun them out of NV/ES with air raid or something. You just have to be have another character sitting in the corner to rez when you screw it up. And preferably one that can survive the NV/ES.

[Fayttt]

Yea, that's true. Before I even knew about the 8 boots of prowess thing I figured out to just toss someone in the corner for quick stuns/rezzes lol.

[Elcura]

8 BoP strategy is boring anyway. For normal game mode having the whole battle as hectic as it is makes it so much better. For 4D/Universe you're pretty much using 1 character and 1 backup like Charla said. Miria, Cliff and Nel are obvious choices for that, but it's more fun using a character you actually like...

I hope SO4 has even more endgame content than before (perhaps cameos from Lenneth/Alicia/Valkyrie/Freya). All the stuff you can do after the main game in So3 really makes it a much better game...

SO1 website is up (*'-')b

http://www.eternalsphere.com/so1/

[Fayttt]

I hope I have enough time to save up to buy a PSP before this game comes out =x

[Elcura]

I hate how they call the website Eternal Sphere...really disheartening to know that your conflicts and struggles are (really really) JUST A GAME LOL!

I hope SO4 is in the real world.

[Fayttt]

lol I didn't even notice that. Though the plot twist didnt bug me too much, it really should take place in the 4D world now that its known about.

Yeah but, it's been done, and no amount of complaining we do can fix that.

Star Ocean stories have never been that good anyway, although they had awesome potential with all the space and treaties and whatever else they could do other than throw you into underdeveloped planets, so just getting awesome gameplay will make me happy.

I know that much, even if complaining won't fix it I still want to do it...

I like the stories in SO, usually for the connection between the games, incredibly awesome gameplay is great and all, but some story is nice to get you up to endgame.

[Exoduso]

I stopped playing SO3 after they realize they live in a virtual world... I just thought it was stupid and pointless.

[Kaylia]

I would say artificial, not virtual.

[Exoduso]

Yeah well it's been a long time, so-rry!

Either way, the second they jumped out of the screen I just turned it off... then kept playing a few months later until some retarded crystal-like area and the enemies were like a million times harder as if someone just raised the difficulty 5 levels, and just quit it again.

[Kaylia]

Jumping out of the screen was kinda lame...that's what happen when you let artist design the scene and don't have any physician around. The concept was still working for the most part from a science [fiction] perspective tho, and there is some interested stuff.

[Charla]

What would you prefer they jump out of though, a blank wall? That would just be silly!
