Love this game so much. I played this game well over 1000hrs. Just started a new game last week. Amazing story too. You are awesome at it and I loved the video.
Collecting battle trophies in this game takes a huge amount of time. I think it takes about a week to reach 100% trophies even if speedrun with the turbo controller.
Dude we were in the same boat. 🛥️ and this game was the Yacht of Star Oceans. So much nostalgia man. God I loved this game to death. You couldn’t get me to stop playing this game! Imagine my disappointment when they developer said he didn’t have any plans of remaking this game nor were there plans of a remaster. Come on Bruv. This game is goated. Absolutely amazing game with tons of content and replay ability, and even the characters that were the least useful could become OP if you knew what you were doing and you grow to like them to some extent. Like Adray Lasbard. Man that guy pissed me off to no end when I first acquired him. Dude was literally walking False advertisement lol. But nothing was off the table with this game. We need to create a petition to have this memory restored and bring this game back.
(Sorry for my bad english i am french ! ^^) I wanted to begin Star Ocean games after many topics about it, and i found your speedrun when i was searching gameplays and informations of the games... And now i am playing The Last Hope and tomorrow i will buy Till The End Of Time ! xD You gave me the envy to play Star Ocean with this video. Thank you so much. And it is a very nive speedrun, pretty awesome !
I'm glad you enjoyed seeing it. If you need advice It is important to cancel battle skills, but if you positively challenge to switch between characters and side step avoid, I think EXP and FOL bonus will be easier to keep, and play SO3 without stress. It is also the basis of speedrun.
That's awesome playthrough you got there. I'm amazed how fast you went through this. I'm replaying this again on pc rather than ps2 due to quality being better and my old ps2 ended up hanging every moment I play the last dungeon in the past making me unable to finish it. With covid-19 this is the best time to revisit old games for playthrough.
Amazing run, recently decided to give the old favorite a replay recently and got to make great use of your run when I'd get stuck cause it's been years since I played it
There are at least three people who have faster record than me in the Japanese version. Nobody want to do the English version because there are a lot of long loading.
@@apple5297 couldn't the speedrun community implement a "ignore load time" rule for RTA? I know some PC versions of games skip load times due to variable processor speeds and such
That's a good idea. However, even if exclude the loading time, the total game time will vary depending on the PS2 model number. I think it's easier to move the platform from PS2 to PS4. (It's difficult to get the decent PS2 of the US version in Japan, and vice versa.) But this is a salty game, so it's not as popular as it needs to be discussed ...
Hmmmm from 22:23 to 22:33 there seems to be a jump there. Meeting room is on bottom floor, yet the resting room with cliff is upstairs and you were there instantly
apple bro i played this side by side to you so I could get through the boring beginning. I was still downstairs at the end of skipping the cutscene you were upstairs thats how I caught it
Hmm, where country version do you play? For example, there are some differences where place after skip in JP and USA. Or, are you misunderstood at the second event skip? #1:02:45
apple no i'm not that far yet like i said side by side ps4 version which is the us version unedited only updated to 1080p I see you are playing in english so i assume you are also running the us version?
This is the US edition on PS2 (SCPH - 90001: long loading happen more times with slim PS2). SO3 has many versions. Japanese original SO3, original SO3 bugfix, director's cut, Asian, US, EU, AU edition on PS2. And JP, US edition on PS4. I'm sorry, I don't know all of their differences (especially non-Japanese edition). So, I asked which one do you play. Perhaps, in the US version on PS4, it will stay first floor if skipped. Conversely, I think that it will move to the second floor not if skipped. Please try the same way on PS2. And let's start to run.
In the late game, use crescent locus and triple kicks on Maria while continuously cracking enemy protection with Sophia's thunder flare and Cliff's fists of fury. If the thunder flare or fists of fury remain, the triple kick will not blow the enemy away, so you can attack continuously.
Started replaying this game today, wanted to see how speedrunners do things for fun. How is Fayt’s damage so high throughout the game? Regularly doing 15x more damage than normal. Is that skill really that strong?
Please equip warrior's bracelet(15:54) and buy a holy sword(17:20). Enemies in the early stage have a weak point of fire attribute, Blazing sword and Hammer of might are effective.
first invention 35:40 Gatling garter (ATK 250): 15% within 4~5 times or Damascus knuckle (ATK 160): 35% within 10 times if luck is bad , please purchase weapons or press reset. next invention 1:50:30 Orihalcon : 25% (Mackwell free challenge : 14%) , specify plan : ?% (not analyzed) and duck-duck bomb : 4 pieces (at least 1 and register patent) if you maintain FOL bonus, maybe you can avoid the worst case. I had reached the end 2~3 times a month at that time.
Loved this game, never thought it could be packed into a 3 hour run. Very well done.

how is that possible?
1000 hours is about 42 days

The memories!!! One of the greatest games ever made. I wish they would put this much effort into the newer games.
It's a hidden gem. IYKYK.

Sophia: Oh my god, Hyda's under attack by Vendeen! We gotta go Fayt! ...Fayt?
Fayt: *Already in 4D Soace*
I want to follow this as a guide to get to Gemini as quickly as possible. The arena was always my favorite aspect of this game

@@apple5297 i'll do it
The Day I finally get the second costume set to unlock >.< XD
Its a Miracle they kept SOTOT in the PS5 Network for download tho
12:10 I don't remember these ruins of coffir
eu amo esse jogo, joguei muitas horas brasil
Did in 12 minutes what took me several hours
Still can't believe this record hasn't been beaten yet
Everyone is fed up with the uncertain loading time.

@@apple5297 does the PS4 version in Japan have issues with crashing? In NA the ps4 version is known to crash.
@@SymmRTA I've experienced an application error only once with the PS4 version in Japan on CUH-1200, but I think it's nothing to worry about.
How fast could i get to Gemini? I would love to grind the arena again
Oh the nostalgia
Getting more views with the PS4 release earlier this year? Or was it last year?
I don't know because I was keen on SOA at that time.
I'm convinced this is not a legitimate run i've watched that jump 10+ times and the timer is still going normally.
Have you checked the in-game time on the camp menu too?
Maybe it's random long loading about 10 sec and I count it under the timer.
Shet x_x i spend 320 hours in this game xD .
Hmmmm from 22:23 to 22:33 there seems to be a jump there. Meeting room is on bottom floor, yet the resting room with cliff is upstairs and you were there instantly

What moves are you using with maria towards the end? Are they just the regular phys attacks plus a skill?
In the late game, use crescent locus and triple kicks on Maria while continuously cracking enemy protection with Sophia's thunder flare and Cliff's fists of fury. If the thunder flare or fists of fury remain, the triple kick will not blow the enemy away, so you can attack continuously.

How lucky do you have to be to get this run? I want to try but invention has a low chance of working >.
first invention 35:40
Gatling garter (ATK 250): 15% within 4~5 times
or Damascus knuckle (ATK 160): 35% within 10 times
if luck is bad , please purchase weapons or press reset.

, specify plan : ?% (not analyzed) and duck-duck bomb : 4 pieces (at least 1 and register patent)

@@apple5297 Thank you for the reply :) It must be frustrating to have such a low chance to finish.
1:39:33 those recycled Valkyria Profile 2 sounds, lmao! XD
Tri-Ace is very consistent with their sound effects
How are you doing so much damage?
On this speedrun, I used ATK+500*4 and ATK+5%*3. #1:53:21
how many times have you beat this game?
Most of them have been reset, so it's about once a month.
@@apple5297 we should be friends hahah, i love this game as much as you do
I look forward to your success
