I've read a few reviews of it, most are good. Some say the battles are a little lacking, and that the story line isnt all that great. Also things like the 30 minute cut scenes are a bit much and one of the mini games for item creation is retardedly difficult, but it's the only way to get the best EQ. But hey, I'll still play them game, and will still enjoy it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
People who think the battles are lacking are mostly text-battle purists.
The story is pretty linear but so are most RPG stories compared to Xenogears.
30 minute cut scenes is a basic Tri-Ace ingredient and very short compared to Xenosaga, and nobody complains about that.
There, purified! ^_^
Man, I don't if I want to watch Xenosaga style cut scenes. Whenever a cut scene came on in that game, I would put down the controller and just lay on the couch. It was far too long.
What the longest one was like ten- fifteen minutes. But i have to say the animation and CG was kick ass. SO3 is pretty good. The real time battle stuff and hte ability to wounder the battle feild is a little taxing at first but once you get used to it everything is cool.
Sounds promising Lefty.
About Xenogears/saga, those games were all about cutscenes and story. They are more like interactive movies than they are RPGs, if you ask me. Not a bad thing at all though! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Thats the best explination of those games i have heard. You right. I felt like playing part int a movie than playing a game but that made for better interactivity between the game and the player. You became more involved in the game. SO3 is like that.
5 more days then my life will be consumed by this game [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
I'll probably go buy it on Tuesday.

Iam ready to do shitty in school just for star Ocean 3. Now thats an addiction. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
"Chrono is our Religion. In the name of the Chrono, the Zeal, the Trigger and Cross, Amen."
Just picked it up the other day.. haven't had time to play it. Probably get to it tonight after I finish my patho work.
Okay I finally got the time to play it and I'll play some more hours tonight goddamnit the game is AWESOME. I love the battle trophy system and the fights. Bloody hell. It's as addictive as SO2. And SO2 had me losing sleep big time!
lmao, your not the only one losing sleep due to this game terra [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img], i swear its just too damn addicting.
same here i cant get my hands off of it hahahaha
anyways how far r u in the games guys[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
That's hard to describe since it will be spoilers for whoever hasn't gotten that far yet but if one puts up spoiler warnings...
*SPOILER*
I'm with Cliff in that place where you need to rescue Nel. Just got the key from the kitchen girl. My guys are level 12 and I have 20 battle trophies [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Well, I won't spoil any plot. I'm quite a bit further than Terra, most of my characters are in the lvl 30's now.
Oh, and for some reason, I still don't have a battle trophie yet. I should work on that....
hopeknight, you must be playing on Earth mode. If you do that you can't get any trophies. You would have gotten at least 20 without even knowing why by now otherwise.
Okay, I checked into it. I'm not on easy mode. I just messed up somewhere during the VR Game at the beginning where you activate the Battle Trophy mode. Oh well, I'll go collecting the trophies next time, the only reason I really want them is to unlock the alternate costumes for battle mode anyway.Originally posted by: Terracosmo
