Questo thread non e' nato per discutere le politiche distributive di altre SH. Cmq, posto queste impressioni su SO3. Inoltre, comincio a sospettare che il bug sia presente solo nella versione bootleg (infatti la gente ha cominciato a lamentarsi il giorno prima dell'uscita del gioco).
Product: Star Ocean 3 Japanese version (not asian version)
System: Sony PS2 SCHP-150000 model
-Game starts out less impressive than it might seem. As usual it opens like a generic Star Trek episode but quickly uses various chances to show off Tri-ace's technical mastery.
-Load times are AMAZINGLY fast, except occasionally when it either halts or displays an waiting message while caching more data from the DVDROM.
-Bugs are NONEXISTANT so far. (and yes I'm past the part where it's supposed to freeze, I beat the first boss too)
-Battles are fast-paced, intense and FUN FUN FUN.
-Dungeons are so far well designed for exploration and have simple looks yet very well structured. Very impressive texture work on the buildings and interiors of spaceships.
-Good voice work, it could be better but Star Ocean was always more about gameplay than storyline anyway.
-Storyline and themes remind me alot more of the original SO than SO2... which is a good thing since I felt SO2 was kinda bland.
More impressions as I get further, so far my initial fear of disappointment from the talk of bugs and a rushed product have completely vanished. If it keeps up, it'll be another big winner from Tri-ace.
