Yes you can play it. There's callbacks to star ocean 1 but they're not important

3 is probably best to play first so you dont get pissed at the plot.

1 into 2 is best for sure but Id say
3>1>2>4>5 is best but thats imo.

3s my favorite tbh but I understand why Im in the minority there.

3 did 1 and 2 dirty, so it should be right up your Chrono Cross-loving ally.

Shit.

It's really sad because 3 was really fun to play until the game shits on its own balls at the end.

this is my ranking too. i never take the plot of a jrpg seriously to be really angry at a plot twist.

4 has some pretty fun combat but everything is just meh.

I am super confused how anyone could think 1 is better than 2. Even if we are talking about the remakes, 2 is just superior in every single way. I mean even triace knew it, since the remake of 1 is literally them making 1 more like 2.

you know what you're right and when I quoted that other guy's message I didn't notice 1 was above 2 so that's me. I still think 1 is better than 4 and 5, if only because OG 1 is actually a crazy big and elaborate game for the SNES.

to answer this they're basically in-game cheevos that will unlock shit, including higher difficulties and a few other small things. don't worry about them really.

I thought he was listing them in the order to play them in, not best to worst. 2 is the best, but I agree, play 1 before it. Haven't played 4 or 5, but everyone assures me I ain't missing much.

I remember unboxing this game and playing it and seeing it at a time where it felt cutting edge.

It felt like everything was top of the line. Even the fucking save point. The battle trophies, the costumes, everything felt ultimate.

Everything.

I was like 12 or 13 when I felt this way. I play the game now and a lot of it feels dated as titties lol. Still though, I'll never forget.

And that plot twist though. Holy titties.

but ya for ranking itself I def agree 3>2>1>4

There is literally nothing plot wise significant enough in ANY of these games that you would have to play them in a certain order. The link between So1 and So2 is just a cameo at the very beginning of the game, and you barely even see that cameo is you pick Rena (which is who you should pick anyway on your first run)

And KISARA is your favorite tales of arise girl? Lmao? The most boring, stale, flat, and unfleshed out character a Tales game has ever produced? This is all anybody ever needs to know about you to know that your opinion is shit.
