Is it actually bad? Or is it just a meme.
>>340554908
I'd like to know this too
>>340554908
Depends what you like. There is plenty of footage out there to get a sense of how it is.
>>340554908
>Expensive collector's edition that literally has nothing in it
Same thing goes for Final Fantasy.
Why is Square Enix such shit?
>>340557065
>Literally just promoting the box now
>>340554908
The only bad part I've seen is the pantsu censorship, but... it still looksfun
>>340554908
>>340555795
It's pretty boring and the characters are kind of forgettable. Basically, if you had faults with Star Ocean: The Last Hope, nothing really improved aside from party size.
>>340557589
Good to know, went into The Last Hope thinking it was a reboot and fucking hated it.
>>340557589
Are the girls cute?
>>340554908
No, it's just sort of there. The game is pretty short compared to the last two SOs and doesn't do anything particularly special.
>>340557589
>comparing it to The Last Hope
Stop right there. It's nowhere near that bad. There's no annoying as fuck loli saying kay and there's no Edge fucking Maverick angst.
>censors game for sjw that won't even buy it
>expects fans to buy it regardless
Fuck that shit
>>340558628
Well, one is a potato, the other is someone you could play checkers with all day long, and I forgot the other one.
>>340554908
The reason SO3 was so good was because it had an athletic brown loli character. 5 doesn't have this, just some autistic mage or healer or whatever.
Its a hodgepodge of shit from so3 and so4. They dropped the fucking ball with this one.
>no juggling which is what made so3 so good
>skill spamming bullshit of so4
>every fucking animation is practically ripped from so3 and 4
>too many fucking party members
>bosses DO NOT FLINCH

They mentioned before that SO5 was a small scale SO akin to Star Ocean 1. It's not bad but it's a pretty small game in the end. It's pretty obvious that SE didn't give Tri-ace the budget or the time to give it a lot of content.
People who bought the Limited Edition are retarded.
A shitty steelbook, some stat boosting items (pay2win) and some different music (pretty cool tbhq). And that for 60 bucks, while I can get the regular version for 15 less.
>>340554908
Pretty bad
>15-18 hour story
>35-40 hour for 100%
>Reused areas after 2 hours play
>Game is immediately broken when crafting turns up
>Soundtrack is meh
>Basically no cutscenes, every big of plot info is given to you via exposition
>Censored
>MC is literally the SO4 MC, right down to animations
>Bosses are reused and easy
>No skill needed whatsoever
>Dialogue is awful
>Animations are awful, especially in the few animated ones
>Nonsensical plot that just kinda ends
>Characters are cringey and awful
Actually bad, bought it for miki's seiyuu, still full of regret. Only the 8th ps4 game I own.
>Was hyped
>All this negativity
Fuck man, what else is releasing around the same time.
Tri Ace just keep dropping the fucking ball when they get a chance.
Why aren't they fucking disbanded? SE has dropped studios for less.

>Trusting the SO series after the 3/4th games completely shit the bed with monotonous progression and busy work
Anon come the fuck on m8
>>340560514
>dont trust anyone, not even yourself
>>340560514
I know but I'm an optimistic person MAYBE they wouldn't fuck it up again.
As far as JRPG standards(?) go I guess it's not that good. It's a very pretty game just not full price.
>>340560161
Man, don't trust them, they are full of shit.
They were crying about how SO4 was shit and WAAH WAAAH but I had tons of fun with it, I'm sure I'll have fun with this one too.
Also 3 is a great SO too.
>>340560692
Just move on to better JRPG series
What's out these days?
>>340559806
It's actually far worse than that. The limited edition takes up space, which pisses off warehouse managers. Around Christmas time, expect to see sales.

they are mobile now,they don't care
>>340559029
Ever just fucking think that people didn't buy it because its fucking shit? I understand you go around eating dogshit that is waifushit games but have you ever thought that there are other factors to a game succeeding or failing?
>>340560762
With SO4, it's been what /v/ pretty much does with every game. Take a handful of super-cringey parts of it, and blow it up to make the whole game about those parts for laughs.
/v/ likes memes and making memes, and always has. This is the same board where faggots were spamming ASCII brofists and doge everywhere after all. We have no better use for opinions than this here.
>>340560329
Oh ho ho.

>Playing bad games and acting like you're seeing something that everyone else doesn't
Nice meme.
>>340561415
So is /v/ not actually playing games to know.
>>340561270
>SO4
Yeah I can see how you can look past the super-cringey parts to the stellar gameplay, fulfilling customisation, amazing soundtrack, grand exploration, epic story, etc
...
>>340561596
How do you know it's a good game anon? Every review points to it being a mess
>>340557065
Because SquareEnix fans continue to buy the collectors edition of stuff just based on the name. They'll do the same thing for Final Fantasy VII and XV.
