+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted May 5, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted May 5, 2010 Picked this up on Zavvi for £17.95 to hopefully curve a little of my RPG craving until RDR. Hoping the included Japanese audio track will make it playable, couldn't bare to play through the English dub as it was horrific. After Yakuza 3 I have no problem with subtitles, especially as Japanese voice actors tend to be really good. I guess the annoyances with side quests requiring disc swapping are cured as well, but apart from that I don't think there's much new in the International Version (some minor UI/battle system tweaks).

Xilo Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Japanese audio track makes this game a lot better. Loved this game. Just doing the main game alone took me 60 hours to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted May 8, 2010 Author Subscriber² Share Posted May 8, 2010 Arrived today, so I'll see how much better the Japanese dub is and the graphical changes/gameplay changes. Pretty surprised it came with a colour manual :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted May 8, 2010 Author Subscriber² Share Posted May 8, 2010 Japanese audio track makes this game a lot better. Gotta agree with that now, the English is pretty much unplayable IMO. Also the Anime/2D menus and portraits are much better than the 3D ones.

Xilo Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 WTF the first boss kicked my ass This is also the hardest RPG I've ever played. :p That's what I love about the Star Ocean series. I was at level 60 for the last boss. Took me about 45 minutes to beat. By the end of it, I had 2 characters left with one character almost out of mana and no potions left. The boss regularly 1 shot characters. The secret bosses are even harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
