Goal this week is to finish Star Ocean 5. Such a mediocre game, but I gotta finish the damned thing. #videogames #jrpg

@julianproxy Was Star Ocean ever good, or was it always just a mediocre Tales clone with a science fantasy setting?

@starbreaker I've only ever played this one and the third one. My recommendation would be to play Tales.

@julianproxy I've played a few and I have nothing nice to say about the Tales franchise. They're way too shonen for my taste. I'd rather just binge watch the first three seasons of Bleach.

@starbreaker hahahaha... I've enjoyed Tales more. The corny dialogue hits all the right notes for me. The story is generally nothing too intricate, which can be sad, but I suppose it's all about what you're looking for at the time.

What are your favorites in this genre?
