Aaron embarks on a mission to save humanity in the latest Star Ocean tale… UnlikeFFXIIs half-baked manual combat andUndiscoverys clunky system, here combat is fast, fluid and very, very enjoyable.

You have full control over Edge and his allies, and the whole system hangs together very well.

A major addition to the battle mechanic lies with the games blindside system.

Once a new creation is invented, youre informed of what items are needed to make it.

Underneath this is a deep and rewarding levelling and management system.
