Not a bad sci-fi fantasy game. Well conceived and quite good all-round. I enjoyed The Last Hope immensely more. Beautiful visuals, music, voice acting etc. Story has a grand sci-fi theme fluid realtime combat Negatives: I thought the game loop was just not super engaging. Most battles and fights in general through out the game were underwhelming did not make good use of all the available skills and mechanics. Crafting was not that interesting The mini-game seemed boring. In the end I think it just needed a bigger budget, more polish, and fill out the extra-game systems (minigame and crafting) and it would have been a much more serious Action RPG.

Star Ocean: The Divine Force is a really fun action RPG that while it does have it's flaws, is still an enjoyable experience. Being able to use the DUMA to fly around the open area's as well as zoom around enemies in combat is extremely fun. The combat is some of the best in the series being simple yet fun, you have your regular mapped combo options but you also have a cost similar to the fury mechanic in SO3. You also are able to use the DUMA to fly and charge at enemies directly as well as dodge attacks which is really fun and makes the combat very fast and fluid. Personally, I found the story pretty decent while not the greatest, the cast is fun and makes up for just the regular good story for me. Solid 8/10

Honestly this game is very refreshing for a longtime fan of the series. SO1-3 are gems, 4 is good, 5 is worse than DMC2, but this game... it's just fun. Love being Chad Thunderc*ck and flying around the world.

Went in Blind, Had a Really Fun Time Many negative reviews regard PC performance, not specific game content. As a result most did not give me any impression of the actual game and I kinda went in blind on this one. I have completed 1 play through as well. I had a good time with this one! I bought it on sale. The last Star Ocean I played was The Last Hope. My computer had no trouble running this. Never had any bugs, crashes or frame drops to speak of. Here are my PC stats for reference: Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor 3.60 GHz RAM: 16 GB GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti I was hesitant to buy this until I realized the reviews mostly talked about performance issues. I was fairly confident I wouldn't have problems. I have only encountered a frame drop after a recent Microsoft update regarding some 'partition' space it can't find, which is unrelated to my PC's ability. Pros: - The music is beautiful and well matched for circumstances - You can play as a space trader himbo or a warrior princess - The characters have good depth to them and they'll tell you a lot about themselves - You can run, jet-pack zoom or straight up transport to where you want to be - The battle system accounts for mediocre gaming skills (like mine) - The story feels big and the expanse of where you can go IS big - SPACE and MEDIEVAL politics and how magic is also science - Our main characters have families and you get to know them - Some romance <3 - The side quests do offer you some fun dialogues and unlock affection-based talks, but usually the items aren't much - Sometimes that characters will chat with each other while you run around Cons: - It can be difficult to romance the person you like correctly (There are items that mitigate this.) - If I need certain materials for shop inventory requests it can be hard to remember what they are unless I go there - I get part of start ocean is information gaps for underdeveloped planets, but in the latter half of the plot I think it really confuses a lot of the non-space fairing characters - The facial models lack expression for most of this, but I like the dialogue regardless - I feel like your first play through NEEDS to be Raymond to fully understand what's going on based on Laeticia's origins - You only get to be Welch's fetching dog and you don't really get to hang with her - The leveling skills and tree were a bit confusing, but it all works out fine All in all I had a good time and some things even made me laugh! There's a lot of different endings- one for each lead with any party member. Feel free to look up affection guides. As long as your PC can handle this, I think you'll have a good time. Even if it doesn't blow your mind in a FFX-esque way it's a good play, a pretty view and a fun game. Also, I love that Raymond is a big green flag of a guy.

I honestly don't understand the opinions of others sometimes. I've heard this game being called trash by so many people and I just don't get it. The previous couple of games were not great, granted, but this is a top tier JRPG which I will replay multiple times. The combat alone makes the game worth it. D.U.M.A is also so unique and interesting that I would love to see this again in a future SO game. I really loved my time with this game and I've played more JRPG's than I can count. This I count in my bank of re-playable games that I revisit for nostalgia every few years. Combat- 9/10 Story-7/10 Characters-9/10 Graphics-7/10 Exploration-7.5/10 Atmosphere/Feel-8.5/10 Overall-8/10 (and a GOOD 8/10 at that imo)
