If you remember the old Star Ocean, people will say that it had some fantastic graphic and music. Beware, fans of Star Ocean. The sequel to the game, Star Ocean 3, will be coming out with full 3-D graphic.

The battle system has changed a lot compared to the old Star Ocean. The characters that go into battle has been reduced to 3 characters from 4 characters. The reason they reduced it was because they wanted to make the battle system simple and to make the game hard. Some people complained about the old Star
Ocean because it was hard to find out where the characters were in the map, but Enix has fixed that problem.

*Sorry that the name of the characters are misspelled.

The background of the game is space, just like the old Star Ocean. The main character(human), Pait, goes on vacation to the planet Hida with his parents and his beautiful(you'll find out what I mean)sister. Unfortunately, Pait gets separated from his sister and parents because someone invades the planet Hida. After this, the main story begins.(Which I don't know)

?= I don't know how to spell it.

There are 6 main characters in this game and 5 races. The races are human, ?(an angel looking like race), ?(a race of a planet which I don't know how to spell. They are able to travel space), Fox Tail(a race that has fox ears and tails), and Blue Dolphin.

This game is going to be for gamers who love action RPG games like Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts. Thank you!

Seeing as the game hasn't been released yet this review is intended for those just looking into the series. You see star Ocean Till the end of time is actually Star Ocean 3. The original Star Ocean was a spinoff to Tales of Phantasia. By the way Tales of Phantasia is going to be rereleased for the Game boy advanced sometime later this year! Both the original star ocean and ToP never were released in the U.S but both can be found fansubbed as roms for the SNES. The 2nd star ocean was the first one realeased in the U.S and contained 86 endings! There's an anime series (unlicensed in the U.S) called Star Oceacn Ex that is based off of Star Ocean 2: a second story. There were tons of customizable options as well as being able to create your own items through skill that you developed by gaining expierence and fighting. Each character had so many techniques such as cooking and alchemy. Simply put the Star Ocean series are separate story lines with not much connection to them except high class cultures getting being forced to live in primitive places with magic and a Tolkein like atmosphere. Science Fiction meets fantasy. A signature of the series includes active real time battle situational fighting. This is a nice break from the turn based typical rpg stuff that we are used to. Star Ocean 3 will be the first 3 dimensional atmosphere and after observing the trailer, looks excellent! CG films are beautiful and the upgrade to 3-d will be a plus. The Star Ocean series are acknowledged for there, breathtaking, beautiful artwork and music that will put you in such a trance you will feel like your on morphine. The 5 star review is based off of my expierance with the 3 previous titles released under their name. I can't wait for this game to be released!
sigh... Setbacks have pushed the U.S release date back to september of 2003

I just have a question... If I post questions in the reviews section of Amazon.com, am I an idiot? Anyone?
