Star Ocean 4

[Charla]

I'm sorry, I must have been playing the version where Ashton's attacks are the best at reliably landing before he gets stunned and/or oneshotted. All Chisato ended up doing for me in the postgame was spam preparation or that poison gas move on everything, and sometimes hold the funny slayer in case of overpowered thieves.

You don't need another melee person hitting on mobs and getting in Claude's way.

And, Claude/Opera/Bowman/Chisato = best party <3

[Krandor]

Opera and Chisato in the same party is basically an invincible combination. Slap the Bloody Mail (I think? The one that makes you invincible but drains HP super fast) on Chisato along with the Wierd Slayer, stand back with Opera spamming her HP heal special, Profit.

[Elcura]

Bloody Mail is for pussies. Fuck that armour.

[Krandor]

Not like the game was hard anyway you slice it.

[Julian]

Bloody mail is broken, not like you really need it.

Claude doing mirror slice or w/e, bowman poison/explosion pills, opera alpha-on-one/healing star(?w/e it was called), and chisato doing 10k volts and tear gas = mob can't do shit lol

it's so fun watching the combo # reach 99 then restart over and over and over

[AoE]

I never used Bloody Mail personally.

[Not Kuno]

I never used bloody mail. Was a big fan of the multi hit spam moves. The problem is theres too many characters I liked, so I always alternated Ashton/Opera (both are good in their own way), and Bowman/Precis. Chisato is awesome so I always had her in. XP

[Krandor]

Fuck Star Ocean 4, need the localized version of Second Evolution in the US nowz.

It's been mentioned from the onset that this would be a timed exclusive for the Xbox 360. I personally can't wait for this game, going to be cool to see how they handle the entire story arc that they revealed in SO3.

I just remember how much fun it was to completely overpower your weapons with the Attk +500 stone lol.

[Pyro]

I don't recall there ever being a set in stone announcement saying it was coming out for PS3 though. I'm pretty sure it was just an assumption.

iirc it's supposed to be a prequel to all the games, since they pretty much completely fucked up EVERYTHING with Star Ocean 3.

God I hated that fucking plot twist so much.

Seems more like french, not finnish at all but yeah PS3 ftw.

[Semitry]

Is Finaland a legit site? They don't list a source and in the past other FF related sites have listed SE as announcing SO4 being exclusive to the PS3 although I wouldn't doubt it appearing on the PS3 later.

This. SO4 covers the timespan before even SO1, basically covering how fucked up the earth was, mankind's move to the stars, and the search for a new planet/the foundation of all the space stuff in future games.

And I do remember reading somewhere way prior to now that SO4 was supposed to be coming to PS3 like Eternal Sonata did, it's just that the 360 is getting it as an exclusive for a handful of months.

[Kuya]

Fuck. Random encounters.

yay nevermind

That main character is like a carbon copy from the one in the third game.

Shit, seriously? Another Fayt? Ugh. Give me another Claude, at least he was a tolerable main character.

[Kuya]

I mean in terms of appearance, except he's blond. I don't know what he acts like.
