It's more that Sophia was standing right there. I mean, it's logical with her out of the party, but why take her out at all? All she had to do was climb into the same escape pod as Fayt and she could have been in the entire game. Same with Pepita. Same with Maria maybe landing 20 hours earlier than later. Although in the case of Maria, that probably would have ruined the excuse to have you stranded forever. Only tri-Ace would be like "Let's keep her out until the end lololol." Can you imagine FFIX having Garnet there yet not usable until you were on Disc 4? This is not the stuff a game should do to my organs.

Star Ocean does have good points, too. Like Fayt's hair is blue and he continues to run in place when you stop for a few seconds and it's funny. It also produced a lot of FaytxCliff yaoi for me to look at.

Oddly enough, I did not mind the "twist" at all. That was the main breaking point for so many, but my troubles were with the game's design and not the plot. I liked the twist, actually... >_>

Don't you even start rubbing my noggin on this business. Episode I has slightly less time than Final Fantasy X, so if you can play one you can play the other.
