Where were you when Star Ocean V was confirmed to be a flop?
You cancelled your preorder before it was too late right? Don't forget to do the same for FFXV, because you know it'll be the same.

Will square enix ever go back to making good games?

It was confirmed by japs months ago when some beaten it in 15 hours by skipping all side quests.

You're a smart man.

I cancelled all my square enix preorders this year after the shit that was the XV demo, bravely seconds problems, and the blandness that this was. I don't think they have the capability to make good games now.

This literally cannot be correct.
I've played the game and I simply cannot fathom people who are playing this as fans of Star Ocean rating it this poorly.
Also I am not that BIG of a SO fan, I just know what to expect of the game based on JP imports and some playtime.

It's not THAT bad, most reviewers just wanna reemphasize their disappointment. The problem is that it's mediocre in just about every aspect
You may as well go play an atelier or any gust game if you want a decent jrpg on your ps4 which is sad to say when you compare their budgets
>>
>>343030173
>Isn't that game supposed to be a steaming pile of trash?

Not at all. It's just getting wrote off by the /v/ bandwagon because of censorship and "not being what we were promised".

Granted it's more Persona and FE tham SMT and FE, it's exactly the type of game you'd expect from those two franchises merging. Just wish this type of game came sooner in the Wii U's life, at this point everyone has given up on it and looking forward to what the NX will offer.

What's so good about it? From what I can tell it is a SMT title that they threw the FE brand on and it's based in a cringey Idolm@aster world. This is just from watching a trailer, though, I wouldn't be opposed to buying it if it isn't all Diva and SMT.

But it's insane what this review uses against the game - the gameplay is great okay, but the world FEELS empty which means nothing to an individual, she didn't like the characters okay that's valid, but what the music, sound, replayability, graphics, etc which are all pretty great and MAKE UP THE GAME, aren't even taken into account in the review. Is it even a review at this point? What is so bad to give it a 5?

Also I wasn't looking forward to this game that much, a little sure, but this review is just fucking ridiculous.

You niggers don't realize that this isn't the same Tri-Ace from days of yor, just a husk of its former self. This no longer a company that can make gorgeous looking games like Radiata Stories or Valkyrie Profile 2, or risky ambitious titles like Resonance of Fate.

Just to put this into perspective Tri-Ace is manly a mobile garbage studio now that's owned by some Chinese conglomerate. Hell the only reason we're getting this is because Sony paid for it to pad out this library. Why do you think they've been hyping the fuck out of the titty witch? Because everything else about this game is shallow as fuck. Also let's be honest here Star Ocean stopped being good at the beginning of Disc 2 in Till the End of Time.

So far the idol stuff has been very minimal, for the sake of there being a purpose and story. I'll agree that I went into it expecting nothing exceptional, but the combat is great and the artwork/graphics are beautiful.

As I said, it's a lot more of a Persona game than SMT, it's got some fusion aspect with being able to combine enemies you've collected with your Mirages to get new skills. It's got similar combat style to Persona, where enemies have weaknesses that can lead to chain attacks.

>>World feels empty
>An utterly pointless thing to point out
A well built world is vital to jrpgs, especially SO5 since it's been made to look great and have an immersive world. Excuse me if I'm wrong but this is something that literally everyone wants out of a plot driven jrpg. Also I tend to believe that the characters are all tropes. I haven't played the game or anything but I fail to see how those are not legitimate criticisms.

Most of them are exaggerating with scores because of how disappointed they are. they were expecting a grand jrpg because of the square enix logo and got an unpolished turd.

I've actually played the game.

The length is fine for a JRPG, probably 25-30 hours for 1 run through without side quests. Which from my experience is about average.

The game has a lot of problems but length isn't one of the biggest.
The characters are trash, the plot is retarded, the games difficulty is all over the place (it's pretty much brain dead easy on everything except escort missions which are down right impossible at times), it's hard as fuck to figure out what is happening in battle and the game has a tendency to reuse a lot of areas.

It's not a terrible game, the gameplay is actually fun (if you ignore the shitty difficulty and camera), but if you don't like JRPGs then don't bother with it.
>>
>>343031780
They still have spme sort of variation to it in each title. SO5 just outright uses SO3 music. Nintendo puts way more effort.

What the fuck were you people expecting? No one on this fucking board has ever played a fucking Star Ocean game before apparently. The plots have always been bad, save for 2's which is average. The characters have always been cliche and a bit boring.

The draw of Star Ocean is the gameplay. It was 3's best aspect. It was 4's best aspect. And following suit, it's 5's best aspect.

You clearly have shit taste so what the fuck do you know? You probably think the people who made SO5 are the same people that are making XV and the other games at SE, even though SO5 was made by TriAce.

A fucking sad day for JRPGs to see games that don't really pander to the doujin audience get trashed by professional reviews.

Well back to soulless mobile Tri Ace, it was a good run but in the end it is CH who has taken over the JRPG industry with trashy titles like Neptunia.

So Xenoblade X had uninspired quests but that didn't get a 5.
And Bravely Default was the KING of rehashing and that game got an 8.

My guess is it'll end up selling more on PC and in the west than it does on consoles and in Japan; proving ultimately to be highly profitable.
They'll kill the series off despite that though. Because Japanese developers couldn't give a rat's ass about the international market: they'll only bother developing/localising something if it will be/is successful domestically first.

DO NOT pick this up if you're looking for gameplay. pirate or borrow or demo SO4 if you want to know what SO5 is like. but don't forget to copypaste a couple moves from SO3, lol its a prequel so we're gonna reuse moves and music! xDDD

Someone said it early in the thread. What were you fucksticks expecting?

Star Ocean has always been a shitty, shitty series whose only redeeming feature is good gameplay. Star Ocean stories? Garbage. Characters? Garbage. Sidequests? Garbage. Music? GARBAGE.

And that's exactly what you're getting with SO5. Are you surprised? The Star Ocean devs practically pride themselves on producing C-tier games again and again, so if you compare this thread to a 2004 forum flamewar over SO3, the posts would be practically identical.

PLEASE READ IF YOU WANT A SOMEWHAT UNBIAS OPINION ON IMPORT COPY OF 10-15 HOURS PLAYED

OK guys I will make one more post in this thread about the game - which I have played - I will TRY to make it about objective facts in the game without opinion and you can form an opinion after you've played the game in your own time.

The game is similar in size, scope, scale, aesthetic, story and other stuff to the ORIGINAL STAR OCEAN ON SNES despite actually being a complete game where SO1 was utterly unfinished in places.
The combat is real time, there are light and strong attacks as well as heraldry for spells.They have a triangle weakness system. There is 5 decent sized cities that all have a distinct look. There are multiple roles that take role points that give your character auto abilities and bonuses that can be swapped around like a class system. Spells can be learned and can also be found by searching in the field and taught via the item found.

The characters are less tropey than the last Star Oceans (I think this is definitive) the field skills for cooking, mining, etc all remain from the past SO's and are intact. There are graphics that for a cross platform title are (good) the game performance is very good, despite idiots complaining about stupid af shit like "THE PLAYER CHARACTER WALKS THROUGH MY CHARACTERS LIKE A GHOST 5/10 GAMESPOT"

The game does not allow you to travel through space, but there is a large overworld and many dungeons as well as multiple difficulties and post dungeon as well. Also there are bulletin boards with side quests for new weapons, roles, items etc. The game is (easy, I know this is opinion) but it's unanimous really, but there are other difficulties which make it harder so really who cares. There are spaceship dungeons as well. The game has sci fi elements from the get go. There is a loli. There is a story with twists.

Sorry it's not in great paragraphs.
