It really does not take from the fun I had in any way, just wondering if the game would not be more suited elsewhere… I would more easily get in some time on the go rather than at home. With everything said and done, I do wonder if this game would not shine more brightly on a mobile device (Vita/Switch) rather than my huge TV. Thankfully I was able to find a PSP guide that served me well… ![]() The guy in the past village told me to go there, but I got stuck. I got stuck in a village at one point and had no clue at all what to do. The main issue you may have, as I encountered this too, is the lack of guidance. That speed walking mechanic might shave off a little of that time. Storywise, this game is of the action RPG genre, so expect to spend at least 20 hours on it if the original on PSP can serve as the reference. It also made me wonder if TVs have not become too big for these remakes…? It won’t influence your gameplay, I just figured I should mention this. Not that it looks horrible or anything, it just feels weird to see the characters in that 16-bit style and then the redone backgrounds that feel a lot crisper. The sprites are quite big and I would even go as far as to say that it did take me a few hours to really get used to it. The speed walking was nice as it nullifies some of the time lost while walking the world map.Īs this entry is a remake, it needs to be said that it looks a little weird on my big TV. I loved this more personal approach in fighting though I must say I was often held back by the number of random encounters.īetween the first and second village, the equivalent of around 30 seconds of speed walking, I got hit with 4 random fights. In true RPG fashion though, you can still cast spells and heal your team from afar. Then you actually physically move towards them and start fighting. When you hit the random encounter, you start off by facing the enemies. I love this approach because it is more than just turn-based action, you get to go into the fight yourself and manually do the attacking rather than click an option on a menu. A system you will either love or hate if you are into RPGs. Star Ocean is a big franchise and is all about space travel and a real-time battle system.
