How to fix Star Ocean: The Divine Force

Are you one of those unlucky PC players like me suffering from horrible lag and stuttering? Suffer no more with this quick tutorial!

 

Honestly, Star Ocean has had a rocky history. The first two games were great. The third is regarded as one of the best PS2 RPGs (if the map completion didn’t give you anxiety), but then things went downhill because Lymle just wanted some Nappy Time, kay?

 

 

So I wasn’t too hyped about a new Star Ocean, but at the same time, it’s still a long-running JRPG series. Of course I’m going to play it.

Unfortunately, the game froze and stuck and lagged horribly. I spent more time waiting for the game than actually playing the game. Want to destroy a pot? Press 4 to swing your sword, wait 15 seconds while the game freezes, and then like magic, the pot is broken!

Yeah. I couldn’t do it. Thankfully, I found a solution, so I wanted to share it with all of my besties here at Crymore!

  1. Is Star Ocean 6 even worth playing? 1-3 were great, 4 had a better battle system but an atrocious story, and I hear 5 is complete dogshit. Is 6 a return to form?

    • Absolutely not. I felt like it spent more time trying to be good than actually being good. It really wanted to be open world, but there wasn’t enough stuff to be open world. It really wanted to have a plot, but the story was weak and unengaging. It really wanted to have likeable characters, but I can’t remember a single one of them a year later. It really wanted to have good combat, but you can just stand there and cheese it most of the time while everyone else does the work. It was an experience, but just go play Tales of Arise.

    • I see value in AI-created subtitles that are then improved with a human touch. Clicking the “AI button” and then calling it a day can’t possibly end well.

      For fansub reviews… are there even any competing groups left?

    • Presumably, AI translations are going to make it harder for gay localisers to butcher them (whether for their own petty ideological reasons or because they’re retarded). If those people lose their jobs, whatever. They’re almost all arch-losers and I consider what they do a form of cultural vandalism.

      AI is a massive double-edged sword. On balance, seeing what AI is doing in the 2020s has turned me into a luddite: it’s putting good people out of work and will be used to create the technocratic NWO. Ten years ago, when I was doing my dissertation on AI neural networks, the future seemed bright. AI had fantastic potential but movements since then like “machine learning fairness” are just teaching NLP/text generative AIs to line up with the progressive orthodoxy and the Current Thing(TM). They’ve ruined what AI was going to do for us at the important levels – i.e. examine more data than a human ever could and come to more objective conclusions about it – and are instead using it as a tool of censorship and suppression. Fantastic.

      Anyway, none of this will matter soon enough as Japan is getting subverted very rapidly, like the West, and their cultural output will look like that of Hollywood by 2038 at the latest. It sounds impossible but it’s not. The elites will leverage their collectivism against them and as soon as a critical mass of Japanese start believing the bullshit, everyone else will fall in line pretty quickly. Fortunately, there will be enough good anime to last a lifetime by then.
