Pre ordered Star Ocean 3
 

Well I'm bored and it looks like this forum could use a little extra acitivity...

Anyway, so yeah, I pre ordered Star Ocean 3: Till the End of Time today. The game is looking real nice, and is getting really good impressions. Some are even saying it has one of the best battle systems in RPG history. I bought Star Ocean 2 a little over a year ago, only played like 10 hours, though. But the two games are connected story wise so I think I'll try to get as far into the game as I can before SO3 is out.

Oh yeah, I also get a free poster from pre ordering it at EB. suhweet.

And as far as ps2 game purchases for the rest of the year, looks like Suikoden IV will be the only other PS2 game I'm getting until 2005 (because there's not much else to get from what I see, that, and I'll be buying an Xbox and Fable come september). That game is also looking real nice, that and I am a hardcore Suikoden fan. :D

By the way, I'm gonna go find a couple good links about SO3 and I'll post them here later.

EDIT: Here's IGN's review, it got a 9.0 overall and a 9.5 average reader score. http://ps2.ign.com/articles/536/536515p1.html

I'll preorder it, cause it looks wicked like. Think I'll buy an Xbox while I'm there too.

Sup. :)

Yeah, I preordered mine, didn't get the poster. This game is going to be insane.

You don't have to play the 1st or 2nd ones... cause the story doesn't connect. The only connection is it takes place in the same universe, but that's all, you don't really have to play them to understand it. But the 2nd one is pretty fun. Also, the battle system is probably the best real-time battle system ever.

And here's a link I found if you want info.

http://www.staroceanonline.com/

It comes out August 31, 2004... Yeah, in like 3 weeks. Everyone should be able to pick it up September 1st.

Can't wait. :)

Hmm, I've been interested in this game for a while, but I'll wait til later to buy it. I'm going to use my money on Silent Hill 4, but when possible, I will surely buy this game.

Re: Pre ordered Star Ocean 3
 

I might pick it up. But i need to ration my money because threr are alot of games i want that come out around this time of year. Damn you Jesus.

Re: Pre ordered Star Ocean 3
 

Ah... well, it's good that the stories don't connect, I don't have to worry about playing SO2. Thanks.

And I don't get the poster until I go to pick up the game, but, it's only a poster anyway.

And thanks for the link.

Real time battle system you say?

9.0 IGN rating you say?

Well I say I need to get this game. :D

I'm not going to read much about it though, because I dont want to ruin my experiance. Maybe just enough to wet my taste buds.
