Wow it's not even been a month since it release and the price has plummeted, although I guess mediocre reviews had something to do with it. Shame, although at least the cover art looks good!

Voted hot for price (& the game seems pretty decent), but a word of warning, if you're prone to motion sickness I really wouldn't advise buying it. The game made me terrible ill, so much so I had to return it (thankfully from Amazon). Such a shame as I love Tri-Ace.

Made you ill? Hm, did the funny **** do what Type-0 port devs did and ramp up the motion blur to 1000% whenever you move the camera?

I think it's the way the camera moves constantly, it has a judder every movement. Got a terrible headache on 3 separate tries. Just really unfortunate as I was really looking forward to the game.

Anyway, heat. BUT. We must go cheaper (for me).

Waiting for £15 mark, reviews aren't what I was hoping for :/

This is basically a massively scaled down version of the Star Ocean games you know and love. The battle system may be fun but consists of mashing one button to win lol.
It's also lacking massively in content and towns, character development is poor too. Also set entirely on one planet too. It's sad that Tri Ace didn't care enough to put some kind of budget into the development of this game, it's basically like an Indie version of Star Ocean.
It's also VERY short too. You can complete the story without much effort and doing some quests etc in 20 hours. I did in slightly less.

That's not on Tri-Ace. Square Enix is the publisher and owner of the IP. They hold the keys. They guard the money. Square Enix charged Tri-Ace to make a SO sequel but on the cheap. Star Ocean simply isn't a big seller anymore. Not to justify the kind of budget a modern version would require. So, it was either no Star Ocean at all or a budget one. SE chose the latter and Tri-Ace did the best they could with the money given to them.

I stick by my judgement that it was a ps3 game moved to ps4 before end of development.
Such a shame how it turned out.

I've only played one SO game and it was the third on the PS3. The characters, dialogue and story were **** awful (like most JRPGs) but the gameplay was really enjoyable. I was looking forward to this one but the reviews describe it as a pretty poor game with boring, lifeless environments.

Annoyingly that's what put me off also. The reviews were pretty hard on the title, that I decided to pre order dues ex instead with my tesco boast.
I do want to try this, combat does look fun. But I think £20 is still a bit high for a game I'm taking a risk with. :/
Hot but still too expensive for me. They'll be giving it away shortly and I'm happy to wait while I've got Tokyo Mirage Sessions to play.

Its says on page " Please note Strictly one per customer. Orders for multiple units will be subject to cancellation" glad to hear it, that keeps those bulk buyers away.
