I just got it this afternoon. About 2 hours in and so far I'm liking it. Combats awesome, have no opinion on the story yet, and the voice acting isn't god-awful, yet.
Wondering if anyone else bought it and is liking it.
Star Ocean: The Last Hope
Game » consists of 10 releases. Released Feb 19, 2009
Star Ocean: The Last Hope is the fourth installment in the Square Enix/Tri-Ace RPG series to be released outside of Japan, and is the fifth game in the series.
Anyone else get this?
I'm surprised at the sheer amount of depth to the game. Collecting and creating alone have sucked up a lot of my time. I like the story, but I'm not a huge fan of the characters. They just don't really stand out. And my other beef is with the sometimes wonky camera angles, though it's never really enough of a problem to ruin the experience.
Overall, I think if you like JRPG's, you'll dig the heck out of this game. Fun stuff!
I'm really surprised with this game, its better than I thought it would be.
I think I just got to the final dungeon. Combat is still awesome, the story is good but nothing spectacular (IMO), and the voice acting is.... well.... I wish Meracle would die. Honestly I can't stand her voice.
I got it, 40 hours in...mid-way through the second disk or so. I like it so far but the field camera is really annoying since. Typical roleplay, good story, characters some people will love and hate (battle wise) - I would suggest you pick it up. Impossible achievements though - more so to 100% the game, I dont see anyone doing it for a very long time.
"No, no one bought this game. You are the only person on this site who has it."
Why? Why would you come into someone's thread and just post useless text? He asked a legit question...he wants to see if anyone on the forums picked it up and if so, respond...unless you have something positive to add to the thread, don't post.
I'm about 40 hours in.. I love the combat. I feel like there are enough options to keep it interesting. The story is good, but some of the voice acting is comical.
I just beat it.
All in all its an alright game, and I really enjoyed playing it. I will play more (optional dungeons) just to get more of the combat which is trully the games best part. In the beginning I liked the characters but towards the end I started to get really annoyed with every one of them and some of the ending cut scenes were almost painful to watch. Thats just my opinion though. Maybe I will write a review sometime with my entire thoughts.
"I seem to be the odd man out on this situation, I think the combat is pretty average, maybe even worse. I'm more of a turn-base RPG kind of guy, but I feel this game is too easy, especially when it comes to the combat. I only hope this is the case because I'm only 7 hours in."
The combat stays easy throughout the entire game. The only exception being 2 or 3 boss fights and the bonus dungeons.
