The battle system could be worse. Could be Ar tonelico Qoga. And I thought I just said I'm playing this game to waste time. I didn't say I was playing it because I thought it'd be entertaining. But if I start to hate it too much, I can just stop. I'm already starting to get annoyed with the accidental jumping when I'm trying to blindside. I don't particularly like jumping at all. But I really like the BEAT system though. I could probably go to Tales of the Abyss for 3DS if I need a replacement RPG. By the way, I don't really see how Star Ocean 4 is all that much worse than Star Ocean 3. Not saying it's not, but I just don't see how it is.
