Star Ocean: The Divine Force

But his problems don't end there, as he soon learns that the Federation is still on his trail; as if that wasn't enough Laeticia's best friend has no sympathy or trust for him.

Mechanics

In Star Ocean: The Divine Force we observe the action from a third person perspective (TPP). During the game we explore various locations, including picturesque and vast outdoors and a futuristic metropolis. While traversing them and accomplishing various tasks, we have to that which character we prefer influences the course of events and which allies we manage to gain.

Locations can be explored on foot or by flying long distances in the air. On our way we often meet opponents, with whom we fight incredibly dynamic and spectacular battles. As enemies are visible on the map (there are no random battles here), it's a good idea to take advantage of the element of surprise (for example, by attacking from above) to give you an extra advantage.

While Raymond's main weapon is a powerful sword, Laeticia uses two daggers. As the protagonists don't have to go it alone, other characters also take part in the fights, with the princess' friend Albaird using Chakrams and Raymond's er Elena using hybrid weapons. As you progress, you develop your characters, which allows you to face more challenges as time goes on.
