Summary
Star Ocean
The Good
Star Ocean came out in the later part of the SNES. The graphics are one of the best that I saw on the SNES easily rivaling or exceeding Final Fantasy III and Chrono Trigger. The battle system is very good and unique, you only control one person in battle (yourself) and assign tactics to your other party members like concentrate on healing or use all of your might. The character creation and gameplay is also very good. There is a secret dungeon and a boss that's tougher than the final boss for a challenge and their is item creation, you can cook, play music, the list goes on. I also must say this is one of the deepest RPG's for the SNES and the story is compelling as well.
The Bad
The only thing I can think of that I didn't like about the game is that it was never translated and released in the US back in 96'. Though since their are emulators around.... Other then that Star Ocean didn't disappoint.
The Bottom Line
It's a role playing game, if you played Final Fantasy the basics will be very easy. The only learning curve might be the skills
