Star Ocean: Till The End of Time - VGF

I've just brought the game. Although I actually know nothing about it (other than it's a RPG). Anybody heard of it. (Haven't actually got it yet, being delivered.)

I have it. I beat it. I'm working on the after-game dungeons now.

Personally, I loved the game. I've read mixed reviews about it. It seems as if people either love it or thy hate it. It has something to do with the story line. I won't go into any specific details.

The game-play is very much like Tales of Symphonia, with the only glaring difference being the Fury meter. You can die if you run out of MP, which is different from most RPGs. Thankfully, that doesn't happen frequently until you beat the game.

The music in the game is heavy-metal influenced, with e;ectric guitars and stuff. If you like that, your in for a treat. If you don't, well, mute it I guess.

Could you go into slight detail over the storyline please?

Here's a brief summary of the general jist of the game, courtesy of Wikipedia:

Quote:

The story of Star Ocean: Till the End of Time starts off on the planet Hyda IV where a young man, Fayt Leingod, and his childhood friend, Sophia Esteed, are on vacation with their family. Fayt is son of a famous scientist in the field of Symbological Genetics. For some unknown reason, the Vendeen Empire — an alien civilization with super-advanced technology that spans merely a single planet — attacks Hyda IV unprovoked, thus initiating a war with the Pangalactic Federation. Fayt and Sophia escape on a starship — getting separated from Fayt's parents, Robert and Ryoko Leingod — which is attacked also by the Vendeeni, and the two are separated.

Fayt winds up on an underdeveloped planet called Vanguard III, a planet with technology equivalent to 16th Century Earth, and discovers an offworld criminal, the exiled Rezerbian Norton, plotting to take it over. During this, he meets Cliff Fittir, a member of the anti-Federation organization Quark who helps him defeat this criminal. He then learns that Quark's leader wishes to speak to him and plan on rescuing his father for some mysterious reason. After getting off the planet with Cliff, the Vendeeni again ambush him — but they escape and crashland on another underdeveloped world called Elicoor II, this one being around 17th Century Earth in terms of technological advancement [though the database is not 100% sure about that]. Fayt and Cliff are imprisoned by a country known as the Kingdom of Airyglyph, who think that the ship Cliff, Fayt, and Mirage had been traveling on was a weapon developed by the country they are at war with, Aquaria. They are rescued by an assassin-like agent, Nel Zelpher, who believes they are engineers from the technologically advanced continent of Greeton. She rescues them under the condition that they aid her country, Aquaria, with their technological knowledge. This leads the two directly into the war between the two kingdoms and eventually into a great final battle between them.

I only posted a fraction of the story because there are MAJOR spoilers, which is a bad thing because this is not a story that you'd want to spoil. Be cautious if you click on the link.
