Pros: Great Combat System, About 70 "Ending", Tons of Side Quests...
Cons: Bad Voice Overs (For the Most Part), Not Much Variation in the Many Endings...

Star Ocean: The Second Story
I can still remember the day I picked this game up, I can remember that I only had enough money for 1 game, Star Ocean: The Second Story and The Legend of Legaia, so guess which one I chose? Star Ocean of course,...

Pros: Creative skill system, good AI, nice graphics
Cons: Mediocre sound, not quite what they advertise

Summer means many things to different people, but for me it's time to catch up on the video games that slipped under my radar during the school year. I have more free time to play, and you can always miss a sleeper if you don't watch out. So among the...

Pros: It's complex, 80 hours long, and extremely addictive.
Cons: Bad sound, horrible translation, lack of storyline.

Star Ocean: The Second Story is an RPG produced by Enix, which recently merged with Squaresoft, in 1 ...

Pros: Interesting storyline, unique battle system, and decisions can determine happenings!
Cons: Bad voice acting, your only allowed to control one character at a time in battle.

I had borrowed Star Ocean about a week ago simply because I had wanted an RPG to play. Well, little did I know that Star Ocean The Second Story would be one of my favorite RPG's! This has got everything a good RPG needs. Including; an interesting story,...

Pros: Great replay value, Real Time Battle System, Amazing Storyline
Cons: Many Glitches

I'll tell you now, this is one of the most underrated games ever. It needed more advertising, and it could've been a lot bigger, because it's an amazing game ^_^. The storyline is enveloping, the characters have radical personalities that will pull you...

Pros: The specialty skills abilities within the game are a great saving point
Cons: The story is riddled with holes, music is average at best, combat mode is terrible.

As an avid RPG fan, you get used to sitting through hours and hours of little action and a lot of story. This isn’t a bad thing. Quite the contrary actually. A true fan of the RPG style game savors every detail as if it were a real life story. The...

Pros: Its unique style of gaming
Cons: N/a

For all RPG gamers out there, Star Ocean is a must have. To me Star Ocean has taken the level of RPGs up a notch. First off, I want to tell you why I bought this game. I was at the mall and I only had $25. I looked to see what cheap games they had...

Pros: Great game overall in almost every aspect
Cons: Too many possibilities

I bought this game over two years ago, yet I've only started playing it a few days ago. Why? Well, I'm one of those insane people who MUST get EVERY secret in the entire game and see EVERY little inch of it to be completely satisfied, and when I...

Pros: Battle System/Music/Battle System/Endings/Battle Systems
Cons: Storyline is weak, evil voice acting, and game gets repetitive...

When my friend bought this game, I remember wanting to play the game badly. It was the only thing I cared about at that current moment. It wasn't like many of the popular RPG's out in stores and in people's homes. In the game, you control one of 4...

Pros: Very meticulous, awesome battle and skill systems, voice acting is present, very decent plot.
Cons: Melodramatic voice acting, easy to get lost, mediocre characters.

Back in the ancient days of the SNES and Genesis, RPG's were designed with a single goal in mind: to be fun. Sure, they didn't have ultra-glitzy graphics or spine-chilling storylines, but they were indeed fun. In recent years, things have taken a...

Pros: Excellent graphics, epic music, Innovative and effective play mechanics. Intense and deep battle system, Good story, Excellent characters, Tons of extras and replay value
Cons: At times unbalanced, unable to join all characters, voice acting

Star Ocean 2 is an exquisite blend of action, adventure and strategy. Starring one of the greatest cast of characters ever found on an RPG, SO is truly a beautiful game.

I never played the first star ocean, but as a stand alone Rpg, SO2 is one...

Pros: Unique battle system, beautifully rendered backgrounds, outstanding story and character interaction
Cons: Battle system (for some of you), HORRIBLE voice acting, lenthgy 86 endings might be frustrating

Beware gamers! Before you even start playing Star Ocean please be mentally prepared to spend a LOT of time into this game. No, I am not talking about its lengthy 86 different endings, nor the lengthy amount of skills you can learn. But just getting to...

Pros: Great storyline, character development, and combat system.
Cons: Voice acting could use a little work and the individual character endings are a too short.

The epic ocean of stars...

This is simply my favorite RPG to date. I admit, I spend far too much time playing RPGs instead of working, but for some reason, this game just hit the spot. I've beaten it about 12 times so far, and I still get...

Pros: Good story and great characters
Cons: That final boss battle

Square has consistently raised the bar, technologically at least and often in every other aspect, of the RPG genre with each new game they produce.

But once in a while, one of the other companies shows up with a gem that's a little bit out of...

Pros: Battle system, innovation, different paths, bonus dungeon
Cons: character voices, some graphics, Claude

Star Ocean: The Second Story is one of my favorite RPG's ever. It's great for one main reason: there is so much to do. Star Ocean 2 has more than 80 endings. You can get certain characters depending on what you do. For example, if you Opera, you can...
