crystal_clear...I'm not getting into it. Sure, I'm barely scratching the surface, am only 30 minutes into the game, and it just irked me.
The graphics are terrible. One might accuse me of being too accustomed to the eye candies that are the Tales series, Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy but...there was a time I was able to stomach the graphics of Star Ocean III (on the PS2). Never mind that in the latter the characters all looked like china dolls but in SO4...they still looked like dolls. More lifelike, but dolls all the same.
Which makes it pretty scary, come to think of it.
And the only thing more atrocious than the graphics is the characters. Why do the girls have to have squeaky voices? And do they have to move a lot just to show how 'cute' they are?
Ugh.
And the voice acting? Thank God I could switch over to Japanese voice overs.
...Reimi is still a pain. At this point, Sophia Esteed (of SO3) is more tolerable.
SO5? Please don't disappoint me. I still have yet to finish SO1 and SO2 though...
