Star Ocean: The Last Hope--Love It or Hate It

[Masquerade]

Recently, I played the new Star Ocean game for the X-box 360 and I was astonished. It was soooooooo much better than ANY of the other Star Ocean games--period. There are more planets to visit, the game is significantly longer with an intriguing storyline, and the Private Actions are hysterical (can't wait for the 'Sleeping with Meracle' private action X3). Also, the graphics are amazing!! XD On one planet, there was this beach and I swear that I just stared out into the ocean for at least 30 minutes--it was so beautiful, and realistic!! There was a whale thing that would spout water from its blowhole, and there were schools of fishies, ooh, a-and there were even little jellyfish in the shallows (I think I just had an orgasm!! XD). It is definitely a game worth getting.

However, the game does have one con worth mentioning. In the battle system (which is pretty good-nothing spectacular) has an incredibly horrible targeting system which seems to be inherent to all Star Ocean games...

So, has anyone been able to marvel at this game as I have? Star Ocean fans, ASSEMBLE!! ^^
