Star Ocean 3 is really fun for most of the first disc. Then when you come to the realization that the game is fooling you by throwing you into the same areas over and over again and placing new enemies in them, you want to stop...but you've come so far that you feel like you should just grind through it. No joke. You will visit the same dungeons soooo many times in this game. I'm not talking about dungeons that looks similar either... you will be sent tot he same exact places over and over again. The battle system is cool, but wears out after a while. I recommend Tales of Symphonia over SO3.
