BoF4 I absolutely love and its probably my favorite of the series. Its just a fun game to play and gives me the warm fuzzies every time I play it.
BoF3 is the worst in the series IMO. Its not a bad game though.
Saga Frontier.... bleh.
BoF4 is definitely kick ass. bought it off eBay some months back and played nothing but that for a good month or so. story is great, animation is great, character designs are wonderful... it just sucks that the game is fairly short (at best, your levels will be just under lv. 40 by the 4th, and last, chapter). and most of the masters are useless. it's a lovely game overall.
i haven't played BoF3, but i can get a new copy for $30 at FYE. i'm thinking about taking the dive for it since it's their last copy and it's also the only one i've seen in the area. i'd totally jump at it, no hesitations, if they sold it for $20/under.
and Saga Frontier is pretty meh. bought it on day 1, and still haven't beaten it. i even have the strat guide and i still don't know what i'm doing. the idea behind it is good, but overall it just falls apart because of the lack of direction. you play, and you get through chapters, but after 3 chapters they just leave you in the dust. battle encounters are way too frequent even if you can see enemies on screen. not only that, some enemies are ridiculously hard (the earth turtle in the bio lab especially! damn thing took almost 2 hours to beat). i'd probably go so far as to saying that the strategy guide is better than the game.
Reverse the two and that's exactly how I feel. Also add that BoF4 is booooooooooooooooooooooring as boring comes.Quote:

SO2 is one of my least favorite rpgs on the psone. I remember buying it on release at full price and being totally appalled at how horrible the translation was. It was so devoid of any feeling or emotion that it basically wrecked the game for me.
I played up to about the 7ish hour mark, and I one part in particular, between the main male and female protagonists I believe was supposed to be some heart-felt scene, and it was just so generic... SO2 is one of the few games I've returned in the last five years.
BoF3 is good. I had a lot of fun with it at the time, with a cute story, some neat mini games and some really nice sprites and such. It can get a bit tedious at times and the last desert part is mind numbing, but overall a good game, and due to not being totally 3D holds up well.
BoF4 is one of my favorite rpgs of all time and one of my fave games on the psone. While pretty much completely overlooked by the videogame "mainstream", BoF4 gave one of the freshest rpg experiences on the system. Incredible hand drawn artwork, great animation, superb character design, not to mention one of the best battle systems of all time with its ability/spell combinations and character swapping that FFX pretty much outright copied.
It has a really cool story told from the perspective of the main good and evil characters which I thought turned out really well too. It has a lot of mini-games, a lot, but honestly I didn't have a problem with, but your mileage my vary.
Saga Frontier is not so good. I played, but not for long, and I really didn't enjoy it. At all. I felt about the same about the sequel, though I admit it was really pretty.
they needed more Hon-Fu. 'more' as in an entire story devoted to him and not just a few scenes here and there that ended too quickly. :\Quote:

I thought SO2 was a really fun game with a decent story, a little freakin hard in parts but I'd reccomend playing through it.
Same thing happened to me. =\Quote:
I loved SO2. I've only played through half the game though, and my old save file was erased, so I need to play through that slow first half again (not something I look forward to).
I liked Star Ocean 2. Mostly for the private actions. And Breath of Fire 4 is the only Breath of Fire game that I liked.It had some great scenarios, like when you're stranded on an island. I think both of those games are worth playing now.
Finally managed to snag BoF 4 after all the glowing recommendations on here.
Managed to get it for 21 bucks shipped from half.com, which is a more than decent price.
