No, I thought it was okay. And I finished Star Ocean 2. The story just failed me. I think the idea of keeping the games apart might've been awesome. I mean, I love the characters. And I loved the plot up to Lacuer. After the tournament it started going down hill though. So many things caught my eye. Like, why did the army of monsters attack Lacuer and not Krosse? Krosse was easier to get to, and Lacuer was halfway across the world. Are the monsters stupid? It never again touches on the stones that corrupt people and make them dicks. I thought that was a pretty cool thing, could have really developed into something. But after the bandits in the forest, it is never touched upon again. It just really bugged me. Then again I man a critic.

Oh, and Claude is easily the best fighter in that game. Put enough points into combat skills and he is virtually unstoppable. my team and I smashed Gabriel with ease. Took me a minute to kill him, he didn't even get a punch in. Thanks to Claudes epic Mirror Blade
