In once sentence: If you ever thought: 'Dang, I wish there was another game like Star Ocean 3, but prettier and more modern', then this is your game!
Like:
Lots of points from battles and lots of skills to learn. Lots of upgrades, and fun for those who like grinding skill points. Grinding for skill points is fun because you can upgrade so many skills and roles and equipment.
I really appreciate when games try to use all characters. It makes no sense that in all the RPG groups trying to save the world, they have most of the people sit out of fights. I hope we see more of this.
Silky smooth; looks pretty. (Graphics. Not Fiore's bum....okay both. )
Dislike:
Battle system is more SO3 than SO4. Personally this is disappointing, because I thought SO4's system was quite good. That being said, it's not AS clunky and slow as SO3's fight animations/hitboxes, so at least that is good. You have your standard light attacks counter strong attacks, strong attacks counter guarding, and guarding counters light attacks, but there's always so much going on that you don't even need strategy (so far. Normal difficulty). The animations still come out slow enough that if you're sitting at an enemy waiting for them to do something so you can properly counter it, your teammates will just spam attack it anyways. There isn't a whole lot of danger in losing battles...
The camera system is dumb. On the field, the camera has a fixed height relative to the ground, so while running, every little bump in the terrain causes the camera to bounce and it looks weird. During most talking scenes, if you actually want to look at the people talking, you have to manually play cameraman yourself. This wouldn't be a problem if there was a first person view, but there isn't so often Fidel's fat head is in the way of whoever you're trying to look at. In battles, the camera tries to do it's own thing a bit, which, with a lot going on, can get confusing as to what's happening, but as I said, you practically have to try to lose fights anyways, so it's not like it'll hinder your progress.
Want to play with subtitles on? I hope you have an electron microscope you can use to read the damn small text!
