Hey everybody! I have released my new album 'Progenitor' which has electronic music inspired by great games such as the Star Ocean series. You can check it out and download it for free on my youtube channel if you're interested!
Bah, another gem that never hit the US shores. I don't know what kind of logic Enix was using, but sheesh, it would've been nice to have played this back in the day.
They didn't use logic. Just like Squaresoft. Nether company used logic at all for games like Final Fantasy II, Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy V, Treasure of the Rudras, Romancing Saga's 1-3, Treasure Hunter G, Bahamut Lagoon, Dragon Quest V and VI, Secret of Mana 2, etc.
They, like many Japanese, thought that Americans only cared about casual games and very little hardcore.
But we eventually got the last laugh with translators and rom hacks. So their loss, our gain.
In terms of aesthetics, I don't think Star Ocean's graphics matched what Squaresoft was doing, but they certainly beat them in terms of technical quality.
Star Ocean on Super Famicom reminds me of Tales of Phantasia. ^_^

Probably because the composer made the music for both games.

it's pretty much the futuristic version of ToP...or least in an imaginative sense. not sure if they are officially linked.

I would argue this is one of the top rpgs on the snes and of all time. Puts Final fantasy to shame.

Make sure you play this game on Snes9x, because Zsnes has serious problems handling it well.
