  • Which should I get. this or infinite undiscovery

  • Oh man...I don't know if i can put up with that voice acting for longer than 5 minutes lol

  • @BrokenContracts Me too i really like the look of the game and some of the systems in use but i can tell il be skipping alot of cut sceens

  • @1987mrben I wouldn't skip the cutscenes because story is important to me, I just want to know if the game has a Japanese voice option...like Eternal Sonata

  • really nice vid bro, can you change the language to japanese?

  • This game is an awesome JRPG. I'm suprised that you didn't mention some of the features such as the Cracfting feature [i was impressed that you can create your own recipes]

    And i noticed you mentioned FF13 at the end of the video? How disppointed you must've been when you played that one :D

  • man its seems as though i have been living in another dimension i have only just got this game 0.0 . international of course. been busy with other games, this looks like a winner though :)

  • looks so Xenosaga =) and it sounds like the game creators read the book of Dmitry Glukhovsky, METRO 2033 =) I mean the nuclear war and people who living in the underground =)

  • Subed

  • I bought mine in Japanese , so yeah , it was wicked.

  • had sex to this games music

  • am i the only one who thinks the gameplay is dangerously close to infinte discovery?

  • @TheJericho2011

    It uses an updated version of infinity discoveries game engine thats probably why lol :)

  • Love the fight system i could fight for hours with star ocean. Played Star ocean till the end of time forever man.

  • But I like Jansen from Lost Odyssey.

  • you got a big TV

  • but hey! MOROR FROM BLUE DRAGON IS FUCKING AWESOME! hes not annoying. and from lost odessy, those 2 kids are the annoying ones.

  • yes. thats true now adays most jrpgs have at least 3 annoying ass ppl that i just want 2 die. i can name a few games that have charachters like that!

  • I like the Star Ocean series, but this game really didn't seem to live up to me -- mostly because of the voice acting.

  • I kinda like the first game on the PSP. Might pick this game up soon.

  • Ahh ya had me at the battle system since I love Star Ocean 2's but could not stand Till the End of Times but goddamn, that voice work is so bad it does not even deserve the title voice acting.

  • @DeathAndMajesty

    @Biddybalboa

    Applause. That was the most civil disagreement I've ever seen online. No name calling or extremely high tempers. Nobody arguing an unrelated point. Wow. Nice!

  • I love cutscenes! I might pick this up. Don't like non changing appearance even after customization tho. Nice review.

  •  ARUUUUUUUUMATTTTT

  • Hey now. Jansen was just fine lol. You are a good reviewer, If you are going to show your face you should be firin' yur lazer

  • Thats as far as I got, just past watching his big ass TV, cus when I saw his face randomly appearing doing stupid expressions to try (I emphasize try) and look funny, he annoyed me, and I paused. I'm here for gameplay, not to see your stupid face.

  • Look at the size of that HDTV, I want that..

  • I think adding a "Skip" on cutscences will increase its replay value. The market is unforgivable these days as great games seems to sprout out of the ground.

  • This game is great, I've played a 20 hours or so into it so far, then I got interrupted by Skyrim but I think it's time to pick this one up again soon. But one thing that I was wondering is if u intend to do a review of Tales of Vesperia. I know the game is old but there is no game for the 360 that I've spent more time with. I love it and would like to here your opinion of it and going by how much you seem to enjoy JRPGs I think that you would really like it.

  • 0:30 to get past that long boring ass intro. Game looks ace.

  • @SayVarRee That's since been removed.

  • @ZeitgeistReview no it hasnt

  • @ZeitgeistReview Sorry man I like RPG's but it's freaking ridiculous that japanese actually wasted resources to make something so amateur and cliche and ridiculous. Who wrote this story and why would they allow it to be produced?!

  • @ZeitgeistReview Star Ocean TLH or Infinite Undiscovery?

  • @Biddybalboa Why did you take time out of your life to come watch this just so you can let everyone know you hate it even though most of us don't care.

  • @Biddybalboa

    Troll on. 

  • @DeathAndMajesty no trolling i just grew out of shit you will too someday

  • @Biddybalboa

    Grow out of what exactly? Not only will I be playing video games on my death bed, but I will be programming / modeling.

  • @DeathAndMajesty Just Shitty japanese game storytelling Not games entitely. 

  • @Biddybalboa

    RPG stories are either horrible, or exactly the same. In the defense of their creators, most of the time that is exactly what the consumer wants. The same game over and over that is. You should be able to skip the CG in all of them.

  • @DeathAndMajesty squaresoft used to be different.

  • @Biddybalboa You probably play COD.

  • @Xxagentorange666xX Fuck call of duty and this game.

  • His name is legitimately Edge Maverick? Isn't that a bit on the nose? Couldn't they have just named him Bigdick Swinger? Jesus.

  • While some Americans can't stand "annoying" Japanese characters, they may also not realize that in Japan, it's popular to make characters to do extra Moe or cute (w/ overreactions) styled movements, expressions, and so on. Take a look at Final Fantasy XIII, on the surface it looks like a decent game but the gameplay is just terrible and feels like the game is playing itself for you as you watch it and run down the longest video game hallway ever imagined.

  • It's truly a cultural phenomenon where the Japanese received the game very well while In the states it's either a LOVE or HATE relationship. Even if it had the best storyline ever, the gameplay and variety is too simplified to enjoy the game.

    As for Star Ocean, I am a fan of the series but have a soft spot for Star Ocean: Second Evolution (The Second Story), which is also one of my favorite RPG's as well, when RPG's were better back in the day.

  • How do you upload gameplay? I'm sure you didn't record a tv screen right?

  • Way better than Final Fantasy XIII, but not as good as Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon.

  • @OmnomTheDevourer

    Huh? Blue dragon was garbage, give ff13 another chance, i clocked 150 hours in 3 weeks couldnt get off it!!

  • @OmnomTheDevourer You have really shitty taste.

  • The fat bald guy sounds like he's in pain when he talks hahaha

  • If I were a woman, I would whore myself just to be able to buy a PS3 and this game ):

  • I've logged over 130 hours into the game so far. Overall, it's a great game, but lacks some of the things I loved in Star Ocean 2: The Second Story. Item creation is a chore, a severe one at that. There is 0 chance of failure too. The battles can get utterly intense though, and some of the bosses are utterly insane...like SO2. Gabriel...good lord was he hard.

  • thx for the informative review.just got this game and looking forward to playing :)

  • i loved till the end of time nel and maria are SOOOOOO SUPER SEXY AWESOME

  • i don't see it as spikey. i see it as more of a "surfer boy" type of style. I fail to see how you can call it spikey to begin with. :|

  • Does star ocean the last hope have a better story then Star Ocean Till the End of Time? I liked the plot twist and the concept of TTEOT but by the sound of the story in the last hope the game takes place before TTEOT right?

  • Comment removed

  • @AkumaADemoncus it's nowhere near as good as star ocean 3. its pretty decent thought. and yes, so3 takes place in SD 772 while this one takes place in SD 10

  • @102xxScorpionxx102 Yeah I just bought the game, I'm 17 hours into it. It isn't bad but the story in star ocean 3 was way better, the inventing system was better, and the combo system was better. I also miss the old fury bar or whatever the stamina bar was called. I wish the 360 had the international version for SO4 because the voice acting in the english version is just awful. On another note do you think I should get ultimate undiscovery? worth 10 bucks? I heard the voice acting was worse.

  • @AkumaADemoncus you mean infinite undiscovery? if you like the new star ocean game than yeah you should. lol i actually ordered it online a few days ago, still waiting

  • @102xxScorpionxx102 Yeah sometimes when I'm really tired and I'm not paying attention I sometimes replace words with others. It could be a disorder I don't know. I've replaced the word "the" with "fuck" before.

  • good review. i agree with everything

  • @MarkLovePlatboy free roaming games basically are rpgs (99%), just ones that are free roaming lol

  • Great review man^^ 5 stars

  • im surprised by how many times you mention Blue Dragon in your reviews and yet you dont have a review of Blue Dragon :P

  • whats the game shown at 0:18 ???

  • @HAXO9000 the same game

  • why is this review so long>?

  • is there an option to put the japanese voice acting in place? should look better that way... and sound better

  • @omejep how would voice acting make it LOOK better?!

  • @TheStfu1000 dont know, tried to make it more interesting haha

  • @omejep are you trolling? make what more interesting? your comment?

  • @TheStfu1000 nevermind... but still, can we put the original language in place? ( possibly japanese )

  • @omejep ...

  • @omejep if you have Star Ocean: The Last hope -International- (25 bucks at gamestop) you can get it with an anime theme character main menu and Japanese voices (with English subtitles) but it's PS3 exclusive, though it's worth the extra 5 bucks, voice acting SUCKED in English, so happy i got international ^_^

  • such. . . such terrible laughter. . .

  • Is this game worth getting for a long length of time

  • nice vid!

  • i liked star ocean for the ps2 more than this 1 :'(

  • thought about this game for a while, but didn't know anything about it. based on your review imma give this game a whirl. nice review, thanks.

  • ROFL!!! @ 3:57

  • Hey bro, where are you from?

  • Jansen is awesome.

  • To anyone who is considering this game, this review is pretty accurate. I've played about 5 hours of it, and the game is very interesting, despite it having some occasional bad voice acting, and an annoying character here and there, it's definitely worth a buy.

  • You don't watch a lot of anime do you?

  • perv lol...

    

  • my god...that laugh reminds me of Gluttony from FMA

  • tho the cutscenes are long.. they look good, and as for fun while playing... i must say i enjoy this waaaay better then ff13... they kinda messed it up... its like cutscenes every 3 to 5 minutes

  • brought this game for 7.45€ yesterday, I fucking hate the camera :/

  • I recognized Reimi's voice over right when I heard it. She's voiced by Laura Bailey. She has been in a bunch of games and anime - one of which is Keiko in Yu Yu Hakusho; one of the best animes out there.

  • I like the wacky dialog with welch it just added some at least funny parts to the game.

    Kay<-- This little word really gets on a string that will always go into my head its gets annoying at best but its a child so I'll pass it. Parom and Porom was decent,but the annoying dialog is final fantasy x Tidus laughing.0_0

  • I bought this game just to pass the time until ff 13 came out. I ended up liking this one better

  • whats the difference between the 360 and ps3 versions?

  • @HesDaryl Watch my review of the PS3 (international) version and find out :-)

  • @ZeitgeistReview I really wish the international version was also on the xbox 360, I would want to play the game with the japanese voice actors : /

  • @HesDaryl Nothing at all they both do the same thing none exeeds each other by too much of anything graphics or gameplay wise fanboys just run there mouths saying 1 is better than the other which is bullshit i own all 3 counsles Nintendo is the smartest being they dont focus on perfecting graphics when they are so similar already for not needing to debate an they focus on better gameplay an story because thats what matters when already graphics are crisp look at the new final fantasy they suck

  • @HesDaryl like i said the new final fantasy's are trying to replicate star oceans gameplay an forgetting about story, characters, looks,personalities an ect they suck completely an old final fantasy's are more fun to play now being that 11-14 are way to slow boxy and dull which offers no ingenuity to them any more thats why they are remaking old games because there is no spunk or creativity in any of the new games and are becoming more an more lame just rushing to complete the games for money

  • if ur tv is panasonic and its a 2010 plasma does it have floating blacks lol?

  • that is one good looking tv u hav there

  • i need someone opinion i can only afford to buy one game now cuz im freaking poor, should i buy star ocean or infinite undiscovery

  • @holycow343 star ocean, for me i thought infinite was okay but star ocean was more entertaining, or magna carta 2 i prefer over both, but its just personal opinion

  • @YourInn3rGamer ahh i've decide not to get star ocean looks to kinky for me maybe ill try magna carta 2

  • @holycow343 yeap agree totally i loved magna carta 2 over both(Y)

  • Best SO4 review I have seen so far.

  • I've bought this game and I've played it for about 5 hours total.

    Just wondering if it has much depth to it, I mean, does it expand much from where you start off, of course you'll get more skills and stuff like that, but does the gameplay have a fair amount of depth?

  • @wesnoth28 It does if you use all of the characters. If you just play Edge the whole time it could get a bit repetitive I guess.

  • damn these pre-video advertisements!

  • does anyone own this game? i need to borrow a copy, i baught it from gamestop and they wont let me return it because they are claiming that crack in the disk wasnt there before so i am stuck with it not working (its the first disk.) so i am wondering if someone could lend me thier copy so i can get the disks downloaded? it still reads so i can play it so i dont need to keep it i just need to download it.

  • @sirlloydoutcastofthe Lol if you think anyones going to send you their game you are retarded :L

  • it starts really slow but stay with it its a really good game

  • 3:08

    I can see Pedobear smilling.

  • i loved till the end of time, just loved it :D

  • @wesieboy56 Definitely. When I got to Gemity I was so surprised because it was so shiny xD

  • @Dookeymuffin Beautiful game, all the towns were unique, sometimes i just to hang by the lake and watch it sparkle lol i think it was in aquaria :D ahhh memories

  • did i just hear the word smorisbourg

  • i liked the opening cutscenes felt like i was watching a tv show or something

  • it takes approximately 4 hours to get into this game

  • i must've traded this game in about 8 times but i still keep going back to it in fact im buying it again tommorow =D

  • Star Ocean gives two anoying bastards lol

  • It's quite funny, because the worst character (Welch) also voice acted Reimi and Dominica, Svala, Faina and Leif from Infinite Undiscovery. No wonder most of Tri-Ace's voice characters are bad, mainly because she voice acted a lot of characters haha. Tbh though Reimi isn't AS bad as the others, that's one of the characters she voiced well, ish.

  • @TheDDD194 Reimi voice is quite good. Sounds very mature. Sarah could get a new voice makeover. I think Welch's voice is funny and that's the main goal of it

  • @leongds Yeah, Reimi has probably one of the best voices in the game, Sarah's meant to sound like that I think, but she SO gets on my nerves. Luckily I removed her from my final party (I replaced her with Myuria - who actually has a good voice actress.) Sarah shouting "LIGHTNINNNG BLASSSSTTTTTTT" and "RESSURECCTIONNN" really gets on my nerves, at least Myuria speaks like a normal person >.<

  • You should really play the first three Star Ocean games. They are amazing. I have to say that I didn't like Star Ocean IV though. Yes, it has an awesome combat system, but so do the first three games... especially the third installment. An awesome battle system is expected. The other installments have fluid controls, better dialogue, far seuperior dungeon and world design, and MUCH better protagonists. Star Ocean IV's graphics are very miss and hit. Some areas look amazing, others awful.

  • I knew it, I fucking knew it as soon as I got my hands on a friend´s game booklet... This game is a freaking Tales of Symphonia/Tales of Innocence rip off... Star Ocean wasn´t like this long ago, they realized that it´s better to plagiarise than to stick to their own stuff? Omfg...

  • @EXHellfire Oh, do hush.

  • It's a sweet game !! only picked it up last week ..£5 in Blockbusters..bargin !!! graphics are beautifull...love Merry " level up !" only 14 hrs in...lots more to go i hope..yup the combat system gets better as you progress.. ^_^

  • Is this game worth my $30? Simple yes or no from 1 person and im set LOL

  • @omnimon64 yes

  • @ZeitgeistReview where could i buy this in florida play n trade, gamestop ????

  • @ZeitgeistReview is the international version Japanese only if not where in florida could i get it?

  • @omnimon64 i picked this game up for 11 bucks on ebay

  • 3.56-3.59 made me laugh so hard, thumbs up

  • I find this gameplay hard, they keep hiting me and when I try to hit them they block my hits, I wish I wasn't waited so long to play it so I could return it to Gamestop, I am stuck with it now!

  • @xjoey77 Did you skip the battle simulator in the beginning? I had a hard time with combat initially as well because I skipped some of it. You can go back to your ship and do the whole simulator. Do it, it'll teach you how to play properly.

  • @ZeitgeistReview I will, Thank you very much for taking the time and care for your viewers! :)

  • @xjoey77 omg this game isnt that hard, only if you choose to. First, what difficulty set you choosed? Did you read battle tips? Do you equip new weapons or armor? Do you fight once in a while so you can keep leveling or you run from every fight?

  • @leongds actually I figured out how to play it and I like it a lot now. Now the problem that I have is that I have a 60 gb model and it freeses the game. I'll get a slim one just to play it.

  • @xjoey77 the slim and original xboxs perform the same lol.

  • @AntiFanBoy1 There's no difference between them. Why do you say the ps3 versions are always better when there's no difference?

  • I own this game, but haven't gotten to playing it yet and holy mother of god, forty minute cut scenes?! My jaw dropped when you said that. I don't know whether to be excited that there will be a lot of story or just frustrated that I'm not playing.

  • Video Copilot!

  • Time Ghost Review..... interesting name

  • Seems like a few people continuously bash on ZGR saying he hates the games whilst in the videos he actually praises them in many aspects (while pointing out the shortcomings). Some of you should actually pay attention to the vids instead of thinking about what trolling comments you could post.

  • i played this game for like an hour and im not really feeling it, good thing i got it cheap xD

  • @Damnedsoul53 Give it another hour.

  • @Damnedsoul53

    I want to get it! want to sell it to me for cheap?

    do you get to name your own characters or do you have to keep the names they give you?

  • @j10eff you can rename them as far as i know, but i did only read about the ps3 version, so the x360´s version beats me

  • @Damnedsoul53 Give it 150+ hours. Its that long.

  • @Damnedsoul53 It has the best combat in ANY RPG ever. Give it some time you won't reget it.

  • @AntiFanBoy1

    Your name is AntiFanBoy yet you bash the 360 and praise the ps3. Oh the irony

  • @dontbefooledxiii I was about to say the exact same thing.

  • @AntiFanBoy1 how'd you work that?

  • I love this game. Battles are awesome. The story was pretty cool, especially when they go to the alternate earth and it ends up........yeah.

    I also love how you can rename all the characters. I renamed some of the characters with Star Trek names. I renamed Faize to Spock and Edge to Kirk =D

  • ff12 wasnt very good realy i played ff7 ff8 ffx so 12 was pooooor

  • @getGTAignoreFakes in what aspect?

  • are there save points before a big fight or a boss battle?

  • @LiteScar Yes

  • @LiteScar wow! thankyou for the fast reply :)

  • 2:55 What are they gonna catch????

  • dude you should go back and play star ocean the second story, or try out a tales game

  • @whitecastleawesome better try out a Tales game, they are the ones that actually invented the real time battle system and stayed loyal to what they are...

  • @AntiFanBoy1 you twat, why call yourself "AntiFanBoy" if you are one?

  • @AntiFanBoy1 WOW Talk about Irony, take a good look at your name, hypocrite.

  • @AntiFanBoy1 Look at the date this was uploaded. Star Ocean came out only for the Xbox a year before it came to the PS3. So at the time of this review, it did not exist for the PS3. Note, I also released a review of the PS3 version when it was released.

  • @ZeitgeistReview the antifanboy is just a troll lookin for attention, your review was good man
