![]() Basically, they're pretty spot-on for a PS3 game, but radically outdated for PS4 standards. Models are simplistic, and textures lack detail and depth. Let's start with the bad, that covers most secondary NPCs and basically every environment in the game. To put it down simply, the main characters look awesome, and pretty much everything else looks sub-par. ![]() They certainly suffer from the game's nature as a cross-generation game, even if the PS3 version never made it to the west. The visuals of Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness are a bit hit and miss. Personally, I could say that if I didn't get the game as a review copy, I would easily purchase it for the music alone without the slightest hint of buyer's remorse. The large variety of tracks underlines the action and the most emotional moments perfectly. The game's soundtrack is so good, that I would easily classify it among the best in the industry, at least in the past few years. Star Ocean and Valkyrie Profile's ancestral composer Motoi Sakuraba is absolutely at the top of his game here. Now that I got the big problem out of the way, let's talk about the massive positive of the audio: the music. I am aware that it's rather sad that nowadays something this simple actually warrants praise, but that's another story for another time. ![]() I know a couple of publishers that would have covered her up without a second thought, and it's good to see that Square Enix respected the original design. Basically the only positive thing that I can say about the western localization, is that the team opted not to tone down Fiore's outfit.
