Star Ocean 4 Remaster

So the Remaster of Star Ocean 4 just released and….
What the fuck?

Explain.

Check the preview image

...

World of FF is a huge piece of shit, don't waste your time with it.

This game have one of the most insufferable localization ever. Reading the character profiles made me cringe so hard.

I highlighted it by accident
I was talking about the poor quality of the promo material
Look at this shit
Look at the font, the offcenter text, the stock image, the black border on one side.
Look at this shit

Fuck, meant to post this

I don't enjoy meme localizations

Seems the game will run super fucking fast if you have a high refresh rate

This explains nothing. Put some goddamn effort you fucking redditor.

How do you fuck up such a simple thread so many times? Learn how to communicate you fucker.

Is this what it means to be a complete failure?

I fucked up the highligh
Shit happens

Soundtrack is awful to that game. Puts you right to sleep. Weeb shit needs poppy upbeat music!

What the fuck is wrong with Eurocucks?

...

It's shit, right?

user the game was comfy but far too easy. Hardly worthy of such aggrandizing terminology.

...

Yes, make way for the true patrician choice

nation of inbreds that need some cleansing

...

...

He's not wrong; sand niggers are pretty inbred.

...

...

So are spics.

>STAR OCEAN™ - THE LAST HOPE -™ 4K & Full HD Remaster
why do they keep doing this?

FFXV was also comfy
about as good as Secret of Mana. Not as bad as 13. Would have been better if the combat was just a bit more challenging. But wasn't as bad as people make it out to be

...

How do eurocucks tell 1.001 apart from 1,001?

A dot is used when a number isn't natural.
Just like you use commas instead
Its literally the reverse due to some cultural reason, but works exactly the same.
But I guess thats too hard for someone using the Imperial system in a country where every slighly important market uses metric for their measures.


Feels great growing up with C&C and Eye of the Beholder.

>his country fell for the (((metric))) system
yes yes, good goy

its like they hate money.

What a struggler

Literally the only good thing about Star Ocean 4 was Meracle, and she isn't even fuckable in the game

Friendly reminder that anyone who likes jrpgs should stay the hell away from the abomination that is Star Ocean IV because no amount of 4k remastering could make this pile of shit enjoyable.

Tri Ace has been half assing video games for over a decade now. Why do you think the marketing material would be the exception?

How terrible were 4 and 5? I played the first three and had fun

Look you fucking retard, The (((metric))) system is a globalist measurement system. It's the Esperanto of measurement. You want an artificial system that's "more logical" and "easier to use"? Speak Esperanto too you fuck. After all, Esperanto is
The real question is, are you a retard or a (((retard)))?
Also, I'd just like to point out that M/D/Y is indisputably better, and drawing a silly triangle isn't going to change that and that Celsius is just Fahrenheit slightly modified so as to look nicer.

...

"Everything! EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING!"

So how is this game?

It's a Star Ocean game after SO2. How do you think?

I have never played a Star Ocean game, user.

time traveler spotted

The point is that operations are far easier to handle. Calculations are smoother. You waste less time on conversions. It's the same reason why you use Kelvins over Celcius and Farenheit when you do scientific calculations. And let's not get started on reaching sizes like nanometers? Are the (("non-Jewish")) measurements going to use a retarded conversion for that size.

First one is dated, but still interesting. Second game is a classic from the golden age of ps1 RPGs. Third game has a retarded magic system and one if the stupidest endings in gaming before ME3 happened, retroactively hurting the entire series. SO4 has some good ideas and a nice send up to the vibe of Star Trek, but is ruined by some annoying characters and the protagonist becoming a retarded emo in the middle. The gameplay difficulty curve is also all over the place. SO5 was just mediocre in every way except for that costume of that one witch.

Play the first two. Not the remakes, the originals. Use an undub for 2 unless you want to be violently struck by voice acting so bad it because a meme. The stories are basically JRPG IN SPAAAAAAACE with a dose of Star Trek.

The story of 3 was so bad that 4 and 5 were both made as prequels so they wouldn't have to address the shitstorm. They ended up with terrible stories anyway.

3 sounds like a hell of a ride. Is 3 this game called Blue Sphere? Or is it "Till The End of Time"? Latter has 19 endings supposedly according to google. It can't all be bad. Is there a bogpill of this shit somewhere?

maybe if you weren't using shitty units you could travel in time too

Blue Sphere is 2.5 and is okay (gameplay focused dungeon exploration with the cast of 2). Till the End of Time is 3. You'll actually have an enjoyable time for a while with 3. Then the disc change metaphorically shits over literally everything.

...

Shit. This sounds so intriguing. Wish there's an Accursed Farms video for it. I don't want to waste my time just to know how bad a video game is.

With amerimutt units you can only travel to the past, so what's the point.

Here's a quick summary. Keep in mind the gameplay's fairly solid; the combat is fast and combo driven, equipment is extremely customizable, item creation has a patent system, there are side areas you never need to enter but have cool shit, and there's a huge in-game achievement set with mechanical benefits for unlocking them.

The story: Your dad tampered with your genes to encode magical symbols into them. This gives you PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWER, but pisses off aliens in a higher dimension so they glass the planet you're on. You escape and team up with a rag tag team of medieval planet screwheads and teched up humans and aliens, including two girls with similar gene mods. Escalation occurs while you're fucking around on fantasy planet and the dimensional aliens get serious. Earth is destroyed, and scientists on Luna tell you to use the time gate from Star Ocean 1 to get to 4D Space where the aliens live to fuck them up. Disc change.

The entire universe is an MMORPG for fuckheads in 4D Space to play. You're an NPC, and the universe-threatening crises of Star Ocean 1 and 2 was just endgame content for the previous expansions. The villainous head programmer/CEO is trying to bugfix his game by nuking fucking everything and your allies are lower programmers who want to make the game open source or something. After a lot of pretty much useless fighting, the villain shuts down the servers, but the other programmers punch him in the dick and start a private legacy server. The end.

I should not have to explain why this sucks, but there are retards that try to defend it by comparing it to much better stories involving MMO characters coming to life, such as .hack and Digital Devil Saga, so I fell the need to point out that .hack was about parts of an MMO gaining sapience and fucking the real world in ways they shouldn't be able to and DDS' MMO was a testbed for combat AI that were imaged from real people.

America isn't white.

A what?

You can patent items you create/invent/"invent" (you spend a lot of time on a low tech world) and get income from shops that sell them.

Like constructing skyscrapers and putting a man on the moon? :^)

Imperial is straight up witchcraft desu senpai.

Uh no? ????? Doesn't seem to show any battles, do you even have control in them? Looks like shovelware for little girls.

SO4 I'll download I guess. 2 and 3 were great and it can't be that much worse, for someone who does not care at all about story. It's not like there is anything else worthwhile.

Hoping for Rance Quest and Amayui Castle Master sooner than later.

YY/MM/DD or YYYY/MM/DD are the only acceptably correct formats; larger to smaller like every other number in existence.

Shit taste.

...

Burgers need to STFU until they switch to metric 'kay.

Yes, they did because Imperial is complementary and used out of Bong tradition and metric can be used standalone with no risk of fucking up.

Yeah, we all count from the non specific end to 1 or 0.

...

You can emulate all the previous ones so no chance was wasted

'kay

i was having so much fun until that idiotic twist happen

Hey Square Enix you want me to buy your shitty game?

Too bad!

Star Ocean: The Last Hope x 1

play 1 and 2
play 3 for the gameplay
4 is a give and take. you'll have fun if you just dont bother with the story
5 is meh

I jumped in at 4. It was okay, but I also had no expectations. 3 has been spoiled for me. I remember trying it as a kid and getting pissed you could die from 0MP or something like that.

I fucking swear Meracle's labia majora were visible pressing out against her outfit.

Why does SE like that chibi art style so much? it got annoying when it started showing up after they released Theatyrythm…

Because every other company is going for photo realistic. At this point I welcome the chibi, reminds me that games can look fun without looking like the WoW artists took a shit on it ala the Torchlight games.

That's some advanced judaism

welp, time to wait for a crack and then pirate the shit out of it. It's like Square doesn't even want my money.

I honestly enjoyed 5 more than 2 and 4, but then, I only played the PSP remakes of 1 & 2 - and 2 didn't really differentiate it's mechanics, it was just like SO1 but with more unlikable characters and a more outlandish story. 3 was ok to point, and that point being the moment you realize that it's literally all just a video game inside a video game. 4 was just a boring slog with a few decent characters and more terrible than usual VA. Gameplay was ok for a SO game though. Probably it's only saving grace.

5 had boring characters, but none of them being particularly offensively bad like Mericle, Lymle, or Welch. The story was a lot more grounded and didn't go completely off the rails - so it's more like SO1 in that regard, which I liked. Gameplay was pretty garbage though, and easily broken.

Honestly, I have no idea why I continue to play them. At least I can say that I only ever bought SO3, and that's only because I had no idea what SO was at the time aside from SO2 PSX promo materials and fucking around with a poorly translated romhack of SO1 for the SNES.

There's potential there, but it's consistently unrealized.

If you want broken spammy ARPG combat, you'd be much better off with Tales of Berseria. At least there you get some cuter waifus and a fairly decent story.

Please kill yourself. I played 5. It's fucking garbage. It even bombed in Nippon despite checker tits.

Why? The only good that can come of this is SFM porn of the girls.

well
i liked star ocean 4 on 360, despite it's many, many flaws. And I want to play it again.
the Nip voices alone will make it worth it

Shit, I might actually enjoy some of it if they had nip voices. I've beat the game twice.

But that's not what I said you mong.


They're all garbage. Why the fuck do you think that the first one I bought was also the last one I bought.

yeah, the English voice acting was the most atrocious thing about the game honestly. Well, that and some of the terrifying uncanny valley shit going on with some of the character models.

speaking of ARPGs with Denuvo, i need to Tales of Berseria still as well.

What? They're anime people. They aren't supposed to look real.

To be precise, you license the patents to the stores first. You can't jew them on products that were already available.

i was speaking mostly of Lymle.
I know it's 3D anime style, but something about Lymle's face is just all kinds of fucked.

...

For everything I hate about Star Ocean 4, the only thing that game did right was Edge's reaction after causing the destruction of Earth. Everyone else was fucking insane for telling him to just get over it.

That's true but minor as fuck

This sort of low-effort vagueposting is deserving of a ban.

if its about the 10% off at release then its fucking nothing

so you better ante up faggot
