Star Ocean: The Second Story
My rating: 4.5
This game would have received a much higher rating if it weren't for one thing. The
battle system is horrendous. I love everything else about the game: the story, the love,
the item creation, Ashton's fascination with barrels; but the battle system is just
terrible. For instance, if you continue pressing X, you can repeatedly hit the enemy. And
the fact that you can only control one character at a time doesn't quite make me happy either.
I just don't like how I have to be constantly switching between characters in order to get
the job done. Also, along with Legend of Legaia, this game steals ideas from Final Fantasy
VII, and it doesn't even try to hide it. (How 'bout we go bet on the bunny races at Fun City?)
And finally, the final boss is damn near impossible. I like challenging RPGs, but it was
ridiculous how hard he was, and then I did this thing on accident that made him like eighty
times stronger! Holy geez, if you play this game, don't go talk to anybody in Fun City after
you reach the final boss. I finally just gave up because I don't want to waste all my time
raising skill just to beat the boss. (The level cap is 256... Most of my guys are barely
at 100.)
