    I had SO: Till the End of Time, but I got bored with it and eventually gave it to my friend. I remember getting past the place where you were on a different planet or something o_O; In the beginning. And then Gabriella or something's cave, I remember that too.

    That game was fun, specially when there was nothing else to do. I once played it when my friends were over, occasionally letting them have a turn (one of them stopped playing when he failed to beat Robin Wind... that was hilarious).

    Anyways, I've stopped playing after being beaten by Freya countless times... got bored dying so much.

    Sorry. The game to me had the absolute opposite effect. It was down right terrible (yes, I've played all three of 'em). The characters were growing old as the game proceeded further on. (Except Cliff & Albel from SO3, they were the only guys a liked) The battle-system wasn't bad at all, but the moves were too stiff and executed in an over ordered fashion. Some of the enemies really pissed me off due to their looks or acts. Sophia from SO3 was too needy and projected an annoy image to me. Most of the weapons/items/stuff looked alike, with non-unique styles. The sad parts of the story actually made me laugh (sorry, it didn't seem sad enough to the point that it got somewhere serious). Most of the rest of it was pretty much broken. The game was flat-out unnecessary. The only things I enjoyed in the game were the puzzles and challenges (SO3 you get to fight Leneth from Valkyrie Profile). But it was good to know that Square-Enix published these games in which Tri-Ace developed them.
    I love and thank the games for the fact that they gave me the money to buy KH2 when it was released (I sold them at GameStop). Now someone else out there can enjoy StarOcean to the fullest in mint condition for half the price!

    Well, the battle system was really intense and definitely the highlight of SO3, the story was rather boring , and it was nearly impossible to use characters like Albel in the later game because of their bad battle skills. Also adding Adray (who had NOTHING to do with the entire story) was rather a dumb move.

    The bonus battle system was really cool, also liked the really challenging alternate bosses, the battle trophy system was just <3 , which in fact added many challenges to the game (like doing some bosses with only one character).

    If u want a great and funny battle system, go buy SO3, if u want a good story, stick to other games >_>

    Marvel Frozen of the first SO...she's an interesting character. I posted a thread here to discuss this complex person. Beware of SPOILERS, though.

    I just beat Freya in SO3 and all I got was ONE! lousy Battle Trophy. Invincible Fayt (with 5069 DEF) negated ALL her attacks though (even Ether Strike!! OMG~)

    Yeah, it's an awesome game. I really enjoyed it. The story IS actually pretty good, once you get about half-way through it

    SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!


















    READYY???













    The only thing about the story that really sucked was how they find out they're cahracters in a video game being controlled by people. lol.

    I've only played Star Ocean-Til the End of Time. It was a good game also understood the story quite well and had some really good boss fights.
