Star Ocean 4 : The Last Hope

- Start date
nope. not yet. haven't even heard any opinions on it.
this whole week i've just been grinding on school work, trying to stay awake while driving down 99 and showing up at work have been draining the rest of my focus.
I did see it in the store in it's pretty little box though. Deff want to get it just for collectible purposes if nothing else.
it was released as an original and plus version in japan so I hope we get the + version here as the default.

Yeah i regret salein my PS2, i had HELLA RPG's on it too.. I dont plan on buyin another one tho.. I've got a pretty good PS1/PS2 emulator downloaded on my comp tho so i'll jus download the VP games.. How many hours do you think i'd put into each one?
And naw i never played Digital Devil Saga.. Any good?

well it really depends on how good you are at RPGs in general and how much you want to get out of the games.
VP 1 took me about 30 hours on my first play and I got the good ending.
However I immediately played through it again to see the alternate ending which took another 30 hours or so. But the Alternate ending completely changes the story, different last boss and dungeon too. I then moved on to hard mode which adds even more challenge and more dungeons.
You really have to play the game again and again to get the most out of it.
VP2 I forgot how long it took to finish the main game but I remember finishing the post game at around 120 hours.
DDS is one of the best RPGs on the PS2.
Now that you appreciate Tri-Ace, the last step on that later is Shin Megami Tensei

Thanks Dead Blue.. I've got a ps1 emulator atm (i thought i had a ps2 but i guess i dont) so i guess i'll jus get VP1 for the moment.. u know of any good websites i could find it on for the ePSXe; atleast thats what i think what the emulator i have atm is called, either that or PsX1
and i really do consider myself a RPG veteran.. The only thing is most of the RPG's i have played were done on the original Game Boy, because that was really my favorite system until the N64 came out.. Game Boy RPG's involved lots of grinding and were very story driven but also most were pretty short compared to the console RPG's.. So i sorta favor RPGs more like that.. Even tho i have been known to pour countless hours into certain RPG's (star ocean 4 and Tales Of Vesperia were 2 that i recently did that with.)

You may want to look at a FAQ as well. It is very hard to get the good ending without understanding what the requirements are but the good ending really is worth it.

valkyrie profile 2 is one of the best RPGs ever, def check it out. I like it better then the first one and you can get away with playing it before the first one aswell.
Star Ocean 3 was my best SO even though alot of people hated it, im gonna pick up number four at the end of the month.
Digitil Devil saga (1&2) is a good RPG but very slow and moody so unless you like your RPGs like that you will probley get bored after you reach half way and realise that the whole game is going to be in the same as the first hour. Animation, setting and characters are dope and should keep you interested though, mission varitey and repeatition is what stops it being classic imo.
Man they need to update Suikoden for this generation of consoles. That and VP3 are what i want most.
