Review: Star Ocean : Integrity and Faithfulness

This is, arguably, my most anticipated game of the year.  Ever since Till The End Of Time I've been an adamant fan of the series, so I'm glad to see it did as well as it did.

It does well so long as you're playing it as an RPG. As a Star Ocean game...

Well...

I can see some fans liking it (I did), but I can fully understand why some others won't. They do have some points (and some really stupid ones) and I ended up on the 'liked it' side.

7 seems generous.  If this was going by any other name perhaps, but being a 'star ocena' it truly deserves like a 5, I couldn't even finish it. I loved the series too.

That's perfectly fine. I disagree but I can see where you're coming from. I just felt that people who went out and denounced it, knocking off one or two points because 'it isn't Star Ocean' were over-reacting, not giving the game enough credit, and even outright ignoring its positives in favor of a negative echo-chamber.
