詳細描述
The year is SD 10. In the aftermath of World War III, humanity voyages into the stars in search of a new home ... and a second chance, in the continuation of the classic Star Ocean series of games, STAR OCEAN® : THE LAST HOPE™.
Nice graphics As expected a game from tri-Ace, the game graphics is nice. The character model is nicely built. The only problem i found in the game is the camera position, it is a bit too close to the character. Overall the game is great.
Star Ocean This is the first Star Ocean game I tried, and it certainly is fun. Everything about the gameplay itself is pretty good: graphics, music, sound effect, voice acting (Japanese ver.), delivery and development of story, etc. The only thing I don't like so much about this game is the battle trophy and its related achievements. There are I believe a total of 900 different battle trophies you may earn throughout the gameplay, and most of them are very repetitive and tedious (like win a battle with 1HP/2HP/3HP/4HP/5HP left, in which the hard part is not about winning the battle, instead it's about getting exactly 5HP left for the specific character). In order to earn a full achievement list for this game, you'll have to earn every single one of the trophies. So if you are a perfectionist about achievements, be prepared to spend hours of tedious grinding if you decide to add this game to your collection.
Japanese version>US version The voices are better and it also has the cool anime faces when the speech boxes come up instead of the ugly looking CG renders of the characters. I still don㦙 understand why Square did this to the American version, they should have left the Japanese voices and the anime art in the US version. Import this one if you love RPG㷧. It𠏋 the best JRPG I𠐔e played on the 360.

The best Square-Enix Title on Xbox 360 If you haven't played Star Ocean before then you may not know what to expect, if you have then you may have alreasy bought this game. The Last Hope is a real time JRPG. When you bump into an enemy on screen you enter a battle screen. There are some new improvements in batte (Compare to Star Ocean: Till the End of Time.) One is the Rush Gage and the other is Blindsight. After beating the game you have many things to do, harder dungeons/bosses, more quests, and the colleseum. I highly reccomend this to any JRPG fan.
