Was it really that bad. I haven't played it yet so I don't really know.I suggest you give up hope for The Last Hope, cause its shit and made me lose all hope of Star Ocean of ever being good.

I can't speak for everyone but I don't hate the game. I did put in over 100 hours but I've got a long list of grievances. The voice over was imbalanced. I did like a couple of them actually, but certain characters, when they opened their mouth I wanted to just choke the life out of them. It hurt my ears, almost physical pain (Sarah). I didn't like the cat girl either simply because it's a cat girl and they're everywhere in anime, it's close to the top of the barrel of cliche. On my second play-through, I renamed Edge as Gloomyturd. He does have some development in character and maturity, I will grant you that but there were far too many whiny moments for me to choke down. I wasn't expecting Dante badassery, you can throw in a pinch of whine here and there to make a point and build contrast but it was on every single planet at every third cameo. Again, another anime protagonist cliche. Myuria was all fan-service and I liked it. I'm guilty, I liked it! Still, I knew she was fan service so... it wasn't a selling point but I can't call it a detractor since... I liked it. That's a short summary of my complaints, they all have to do with the characters. The plot itself I found to be slightly above average. This is good in that I didn't dislike it but I wasn't entirely drooling over it. It worked and that's good enough. If the game had released 2 years earlier, I would have sang nothing but praise for it but it came out at the time I was getting tired watching the same anime in different "clothes" and much of the game reminded me of that.I don't understand why Last Hope gets so much hate, I loved the Last Hope, I thought it was a great jRPG and I really like the story as well. I have 1 and 2 on the PSP and 3 in my backlog. I for one hope we do get another Star Ocean soon.
