@NinjaNicky That's the nice thing about (most) FF, is you don't need to know anything going in. There's certain tropes and commonalities of course (chocobos, for instance. There's almost always a guy named Cid, lots of magical crystals, etc) But there won't be a single bit of this that you will need knowledge of other games in the series for.
I think one thing to hammer home here is the people saying "I don't condone abusive behaviour but I also don't condone the state the games are released in these days,"
That makes it sound equal when it really isn't. The state of the game is a level 3 problem. The toxicity is a level 10 problem. These are thoughts that can absolutely be held at the same time, but the toxicity is something that absolutely must be managed as a priority.
I can only hope they keep the grand Star Ocean tradition of at least one example of /terrible/ voice acting. It's not fun unless my ears bleed eventually.
While I absolutely wish to play SO5... I shudder to think what horrible combination of voice actor and character waits for us. You know there's one in there. Somewhere.

Re: One of Ghost of Yotei's Most Unique Features Was Meant to Be Much Bigger
I found myself wishing for it a bit more. I thought I would hate it originally, but found it rather poignant and useful to the narrative.

Re: CyberConnect2 RPG Fuga: Melodies of Steel Brings Friendship, Death, and Massive Tanks to PS5, PS4 Next Month
Looks good, was looking for something weird after finishing 13 Sentinels...and now it seems I will have such a thing.
Re: Square Enix Reports Huge $33 Million Loss Thanks to Luminous Productions Change
Well, I guess there's going to be a bunch more items in the Mog Station for FF14 players to cover for it. Seems like a license to print money anyway.
Re: Hands On: Reliving a Memorable War in Valkyria Chronicles Remastered on PS4
This game also passed my "do I give a damn about the characters" test that I apply to pretty much any RPG.
Re: Star Ocean 5 Promises to Be a Silky Smooth 60fps RPG on PS4
@Expa0 Last Hope was that bad, m'kaaaaaaaay.....
(and I swear if I heard Sarah yell "Lightning BlAAAaaAAAst...." any more I would have swapped her from the party)
