The plot twist is existential. It's a modern take on an age-old sci-fi trope. It also fits perfectly in line with what Star Ocean is striving to be which is anime Star Trek. It's out of left field if you're expecting a traditional JRPG story and much less so if you're expecting a science fiction story.
The twist is fine.
It's everything else that blows about SO3.
I want a detailed analysis of every aspect of SO3 and why it sucks on my desk by next Monday.
Here's a complete list of reasons why Star Ocean 3 sucks:
1. No, you suck.

Man I've been playing through Star Ocean First Departure (remake of SO1 with SO2 redesign) and just wow... I'm kind of surprised this game got sequels. It's pretty boring so far, and it's starting to make me think I should give SO2 another playthrough because me thinks I have given that game a bit too much credit due to nostalgia.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog Where no one notices the contrast of white on white And in between the moon and you, the angels get a better view Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
That's actually pretty amusing to me, as First Departure is likely my favorite entry in the series. XD
The power of different tastes.
That's a lot of words without actually saying anything.It's on Page 1.
The words "detailed" and "analysis" imply some level of insight into game design
(if you don't want to do this I'll do it for you)
I think pointing out how the entire first disk of SO3 is a boring, tedious, troutty waste of time that has nothing to do with the second disk is a decent enough analysis of why that game is horrible.
