It has a strong, highly-customizable combat system along with a solid soundtrack, but there’s not much praise to speak of outside of that. The two hero option is a fun gimmick we haven’t seen since The Second Story, only observing one perspective of the story at a time, but the problem is that there are so few compelling characters. The cast and story is one of The Divine Force’s biggest downfalls, not to mention severely-fluctuating presentation values. Laeticia and Raymond are some of the stalest protagonists, lacking emotion and charm. There are also bizarre design choices that ruin the flow of progression, such as accessories being removed every time a party member is temporarily removed (which happens all the time) or not being able to interact with menus, maps or the world when there’s the frequent unskippable fluff dialogue whilst traversing. That’s not mentioning the boring dungeon designs, although the traversal in the open areas itself is at least fast and enjoyable. I couldn’t be more disappointed in how Star Ocean: The Divine Force turned out, to the point I’d rather go back and replay tri-Ace’s Infinite Undiscovery. You can take solace that The Divine Force is at least better than Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness as there are moments of intrigue, but they're overshadowed by how severely underwhelming the overall package ended up.","2025-01-15T07:52:10.457493-05:00",{"id":523,"logo":536,"name":537,"slug":538,"tags":539,"bluesky":26,"twitter":540,"youtube":541,"facebook":542,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":543,"website_url":544,"score_format":127,"average_score":156,"default_timezone":49,"last_review_date":545,"stats_updated_at":546,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":26,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":547,"headquarters_country":26,"reviews_editor_email":26,"editor_in_chief_email":26,"published_authors_count":509,"published_reviews_count":548},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FHardcore-Gamer-Logo.jpg","Hardcore Gamer ","hardcore-gamer","[  \n  'corporate_owned',\n  'online_media'\n  ]","HardcoreGamer","HardcoreGamerVideo","Hardcore-Gamer","Follow us for the latest and greatest in video game news, previews, reviews and more.

The first entry in the series, released back in 1996 on Nintendo's Super Famicom system in Japan, was the first game developed by tri-Ace as an answer to Namco's Tales of Phantasia, which members of tri-Ace worked on as part of Wolf Team. And in many ways, the original Star Ocean surpassed the first entry in the Tales series by offering a more dynamic story whose final outcome was partially influenced by the choices players made during Private Actions, special optional events that allowed players to learn more about characters and deepen their bonds with protagonist Roddick.","2025-03-04T09:20:48.86197-05:00",{"id":48,"logo":611,"name":612,"slug":613,"tags":122,"bluesky":26,"twitter":613,"youtube":614,"facebook":613,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":615,"website_url":616,"score_format":47,"average_score":141,"default_timezone":49,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":50,"headquarters_city":617,"news_editor_email":618,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":311,"reviews_editor_email":619,"editor_in_chief_email":620,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fwccftech-logo.jpg","WCCFtech","wccftech","wccftechtv","We bring you the latest from hardware, mobile tech, gaming and internet industries","https:\u002F\u002Fwccftech.com\u002F","Vancouver","nate@wccftech.com","kai@wccftech.com","saad@wccftech.com"]
