2002-2004 was a JRPG golden era for the PS2. Dark Cloud 2, Unlimited Saga, Final Fantasy XI (online), .hack vol. 1-4, and Xenosaga Episode 1 all released in that timeline. All these games have fantastic art style, Star Ocean: Till the End of Time is no different.
Gameplay is dated by having to explore maps without a waypoint, and having to mash the X button through dialogue scenes can be annoying, but the characters are well-written and designed. The battle system also holds up as something unique.. but dying from losing all your MP is frustrating (yet all JRPGs kind of are). Looks great upscaled on PCSX2. One day Iām hoping some of those games listed above are remade/remastered bc they started a wave.

4 words. Blast from the past. The gameplay visuals, music and storyline of such a classic title paired with the nostalgic 2d sprite is chef's kiss and definitely something that would get old gamers as well as new players of the franchise. If you want a break from triple A titles and crave a well written story RPG, then definitely a must try. (Don't blame me if you restarted the game to complete all the stars. *wink wink*)
