I like this review better than your one for Odin Sphere. As someone who played through the entirety of the game and gave up at the very end. (Literally at the last dungeon) I find that this review speaks the truth. It's a very average game through and through. It's a shame really because it had more potential. The battle system pretty much makes the game imo.

Yeah maybe there will be a sequel with the necessary improvements to make it great

The combat system did look fun but I agree the characters seem a bit "verbose". Another small qualm I have is the "I'm going to fall over this cliff backwards!" scene. ALOT of Japanese games use it and having recently played DMC 4 Dante did the exact same thing.

I'm excited about the newest Star Ocean game but with me I'll either "love" a Japanese RPG or get bored with it after 3 hours and never pick it up again.

Guess I'm getting RE 5 to play it safe before Star ocean. Good review as always!

Thanks!

are you serious about them being a half hour?

I tried a demo of this awhile ago. It looked like a cute game, but as you said it really dragged on. Not worth the money!

Japanese rpgs need more "teeth" and to add more mature content. I do understand "Teen" and "E for everyone" ratings ensure a bigger demographic but there is a guilty pleasure in games such as Fall Out 3 "because" they address more realistic issues.

Star Ocean 4 last hope seems to have a similar battle system as Sonata only the graphics are better. It is good J rpgs do not use quite as much "ATB" silliness as they used to. For awhile FF7 dictated how every game that came after it was made.

That may be so but this game is still fun. Viola is way too overpowered though. Im in chapter 4, save point in the pirate ship. The whole dream thing kinda ruins the game though, hope the endings are good.
