I mean, its hard to lump them all together. But still... Personally, I really like Till the End of Time. That was the first one I played. And the one that got me into the series. But Ive played the other. They were fun. Though, not as much as that one. Even though You spent like a huge chunk of the game on that one planet. Then had to choose which one of thee to bring with you. Then can leave them on the moon, by taking another character from earlier...

But it was still fun. What do you guys think of the games, though?

Loved the SNES game when I played a fan translation, enjoyed the PS1 game but gave it to another user, @POT8O_OF_DREAD, with the intention of getting the PSP games (turns out they are rare as fuck here, so never happened). Barely touched the rest.

I remember getting the PSP games. They were pretty fun...

It peaked at 2 in my opinion, which is pretty sad, there was some decent ones after that, but 2 was the best.

I started with SO: The Second Story. Loved it. It was different from FF and even To.

But yes, SO:TTEoT will always be my favourite. I loved the characters there. Those bonus dungeons (Sphere 211 and Maze of Tribulations) and the cameos; awesome. One of the best games I played.

SO: TLH was....ok. I didn't really get into it. I cleared it but. ..eh. It just didn't do it for me.

SO: I&F. nope. didn't like it. I started and dropped it 10 minutes later. Didn't like the camera angle. Made me dizzy so I didn't bother with it.

I started with the Second Story - taken by surprise when the boulder I had seen in the background suddenly rolled over the battlefield - fighting in the mines was frustrating as character AI seemed to have been set to "run into path of minecarts and get hit by them".
Eventually gave up on tough version of final boss, reloaded eatlier save, and played to the end avoiding the cut-scene..

Til the end of time - noticable that the characters' names were changed in localisation (as one autographs the hero's shirt - and the graphics were not changed so still display the name from the Japanese version).
an early example of usage of trophies (before they had become common)

I liked the first, loved the second, despised the third, felt less loathing with the fourth, and was apathetic by the time the fifth came around.

5 is the one i picked up to give the series a shot but its been pretty mediocre so far. The majority of the characters could die without me caring at all and gameplay is eh. The PA system is tedious especially when its for half a second things like "Kitty?" and if Welch was a member of the main party id probably be playing with my TV muted.

I dont outright dislike it and i do expect that ill finish it but its probably going to be the only game in the series that i play.

Star ocean II on PS1 is my favorite, star ocean I remake on PSP is my second favorite. Then I guess the 3rd one on PS2 and SNES one tie for third place. The newest ones are not as good imo.

"unexpectedly weak"

tried once or twice to get into star ocean 2, and I sort of enjoyed it until there was combat. but the fighting (and voice acting) was not at all enjoyable so I gave up.

I think I kind of mostly agree with this one. Though, I only played the first 2 games as PSP remakes. Those were both really fun. I went through with two different teams. I wanted to play all the characters. So, I makes two really good teams for each game.

The third is also my favorite. I just loved that one. And had a memory card with multiple save files to try out different teams. Haha.

The fourth I just kind of though was ok. But, IDK... I did like the Shower seen with the cat. That actually made me laugh.

The fifth, I didnt get very far into. It was different having all the characters out at once. And being able to have a pretty big team for every battle. Which is different since for the other games, you have 8 people, but 4 out. And the other 4 would swap in when that were all incapacitated, kind of like in the most recent Golden Sun, IIRC. But still kind of weird. Idk what it was about that game. I think I should give it another go. But Ive been pretty lazy...
