Oh, yeah, that’s right, this is supposed to be a review!

*Clears throat*

Anyways, the game I’m going to talk about is just what I thought initially (even more so since I’m still just starting the game).

My thoughts?  First off, the English voice action just plain ass sucks, I wish they would of let us choose to listen to the original Japanese language, but, of course, it doesn’t.  Another thing that just plain ass sucks is the lack of addicted amount of items and HP making you die a lot (and I mean A LOT) faster then you would normally have in an RPG.

And even though the game clock said I was playing for about an hour and some odd minutes, actual game play amount is about 25 minutes.  The cut scenes are long and boring and just having to listen to the English voice actors and actresses trying to “act” just plainly sucks.

Unlike most RPGs that gives you ether enough HP from where the weaker enemies still won’t be able to kill you in one go or enough items to restore your HP until you build up your characters, Star Ocean: TLH is not that forgiving when you’re playing in normal (Galaxy) mode. Don’t know what easy (Earth) mode does in terms of HP and/or items, and I don’t care since I play all games on normal or harder modes.

Another thing that kinda pissed me off is also the lack of save points DURING THE ACTUAL WALKING AROUND THE WROLD TO A LOCATION part from where you’re more likely die in the most.  Now I have to start all the fuck over again.

Anyways, I’ll continue to attempt at the game and see if it can change my my first impression of the game.

Reading this was just breath taking, I mean, it’s really a good read!

The story takes place in a world there’s been a war going on for 30 years along with non-stop rain for 10 years. A junker stumbs apond a room with chairs in a circlal panther around a mechaine that looks like a 2 headed ant. A robot that say that she’s broken promise to show him the stars but the mechaine has broken down and the junker found himself fixing it.

Now, I’m not the greatest at explaining things but I think that’s how good as I could get it. If you want, read the story over here. You can even read more about the world over here.

I suggest that you atleast download the trail version (which is about, give or take, the first hour of the retail version, the retail version takes about 4-5 hours to read).
