TOV I have 60 hours into it still have to play it for the secret stuff. Very Good game!
Star Ocean, it has 3 discs and has alot of extra stuff in the game
I thought Tales of Vesperia was better due to the fact that Star ocean takes longer for the story to really pick up and i preferred the characters in TOV.
[QUOTE=''simplexp'']Star Ocean, it has 3 discs and has alot of extra stuff in the game[/QUOTE]It's not in the no. of discs a game has. If it's garbage i wouldn't even play it for an hour. What I'm saying is he'll probably like TOV a lot more bec. It's the top rated JRPG for the 360 %26 getting Star Ocean is a gamble since it had mixed reviews.
Star Ocean does look to have an inane amount of stuff to do in it....



This is a pain, Wish I could just buy both.

The game is good but it just falls short of being on the same level as TOV even though the combat is a lot more addictive.
My advice is to buy Tales of Vesperia, and this is why:1) I own the game and have played some of it, and I found it to be enjoyable and have good HD graphics and gameplay. It is better than Symphonia also, I think.2) TOV is cheaper than SO, which means you can buy TOV now and already have a couple dollars left over to help you get a small kick-start towards buying the other game if you want to.3) TOV has been around for a year or so now, therefore it will probably be slightly more difficult to find than a new copy of Star Ocean 4.4) Both games have similar action-based battle systems, so regardless of which game you choose, you will undoubtably wind up with a similar battle system.5) TOV sold more successfully than did SO, and has garnished more applauds from both the American and Japanese gaming audience for its graphics, story and gameplay. SO didn't do horribly, but the game only managed to stay on the Japanese top ten list for a split-second before being wiped out by Nintendo and Sony console games.6) The opening sequence for TOV, while pop-music-ish, is actually a nice touch and gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling whenever I start up the game. It will kinda stick with you I think, whenever you think about the game.So, there ye have it.
