Is Star Ocean the worst vidya franchise of all time?
2 was good, so no.
>2 was good
"No."
The funny thing about star ocean is that you are stuck on a single planet for most of the games.
Someone post the ass gif/webm
I thought this was another XC2 thread for a second, thank god it wasn't.

That's still a step up from Star Oceans 1-3, which TEASE being a planet-hopping space adventure, before you crash-land on planet Hyper-Generic RPG and remain there for the REST OF THE FUCKING GAME, only leaving to fight the final boss on Generic Evil Badguy Lava planet.

Why the fuck do we hate this game again?
This was a huge turnoff for me with SO3 (only star ocean I played). It started with a kinda cool space cruise for the starting bit but, then you almost instantly get stranded on some medieval planet. Even worse was that due to some space federation bullshit of the planet being underdeveloped, use of anything futuristic or spacey was outlawed, making the premise of the game being sci-fi even in the beginning completely pointless.
Journey fun, ending annoying.
I liked so4
Kay~
No you didn't

Not by a long shot, but it is a poster child for "wasted potential".
Since real Phantasy Star is dead because of Online, bringing SO back and making it more like PS1-4 would be perfect. Star Ocean is too good of a name for a Sci-Fi series to just let it go.
No wonder the games suck so much ass.
That angel bitch was way more annoying.
Apparently not since I can't remember her doing anything to piss me off.
I haven't played 1 or 2.
3 was actually pretty good.
Good cast, interesting plot, really fun battle system.
Then the story gets all fucked up at the end. Shame really.
4 was just bad. Worse characters, worse battle system. Ugly looking game.
5, I have no idea what the fuck they were thinking when they made that game.
If only it was a sci-fi RPG and not a Fantasy game loosely related to space.
Plenty of reasons.
>retarded camera made worse with teleporting moves
>special attacks use HP, encouraging only one setup for stealing life to be able to actually play the fucking game
>MP treated the same as life, lots of enemies that have MP damaging effects meaning casting spells is a huge detriment compared to using skills
>horrible characters who do absolutely nothing for the overall plot
>retarded crafting and economy system
>game made even worse in that it's actually a game world, which means that someone in universe thought all of these retarded game ideas was good
It's honestly one of the worst RPG I have ever played, retarded story, cucked out of fights constantly, killed by unbalanced skills that you could never have seen coming, horrible animations. I don't know how you fuck up this badly. It's Tales of Legendia levels of poorly thought out mechanics and story.
Ugly character models
