I'm skipping the battle system comments because I haven't played Star Ocean 3.
Gikaru I then tried comparing ToS to numerous RPGs in terms of storyline, and found it closest to the old Final Fantasy games. I say the old ones because, besides FF10, going to the temples was an obvious part of the storyline. I never bothered to care what they were in ToS, but I do recall watching my neighbor go through one of these dungeons. When he reached the end (my memory is a bit fuzzy around here), he fought...a horse boss? Afterward, one of the characters took the spotlight as, well, I dunno. He had wings, I think, but only at that one scene. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure about whether it was a guy or a girl, but that's not the point. In that one dungeon alone and a little bit after it, the game was already summarized in my head, though the beginning is probably off: You find a special guy, the special guy needs to go to these temples to get powers (or was it to seal something?), and you fight the final boss behind all of this. Sounds like a regular game for me. However, what probably led me away from the game was the story itself. While it did sound like a regular overused story...hm. I don't know? I'm going to point out that ToS is two discs. Going to temples and getting powers is a part of the storyline, but if that was all of it we'd all hate the game for having so many temples.
That said, ToS is extremely clichéd and anyone arguing otherwise is kidding themselves. A story can work despite unoriginality, but if you want a fresh plot this is the wrong game.
Gikaru Comparing ToS's graphics to another game's is like comparing the old Dr. Mario to, say, Halo 3 graphics. Gamecube didn't have a lot of games with very good graphics. Besides, I dislike the idea of using graphics in an argument. Possibly off topic when I say this, but I'd rather play Runescape than a lot of other MMORPGs. The game isn't THAT bad, it just takes so damn long to do anything. ToS was going for animesque graphics. If anime designs aren't your thing then that would be the problem.
However, why are you bashing the Gamecube for having bad graphics? 'ToS's graphics are annoying to the point that I can't focus on the game' is a decent reason, 'the graphics sucked' is just shallow.
Gikaru All in all, I just don't like the game, and I don't know completely why. The reasons I listed probably tie together with some other reason, but for sure are related somehow. Fair enough. I have trouble explaining why I like or dislike things sometimes. If you don't like ToS, I probably won't be able to change your mind on it, so...

Betman wariodude128 Betman Worst game for me was probably DBZ: Burst limit. It only covered the ******** Freiza saga. -_- That's pretty bad man. Even the original Budokai did the Android and Cell sagas. Not only that, it added five additional "What If?" stories too. Only covering the Freeza saga in my opinion would be a disappointment as well as the worst game I would ever play. I was fighting frieza, and I was like, ******** YEAH ANDROIDS YOURE ******** NEXT and then it was like 'no ur done tho' i was like 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO' I think I speak for both of us when I say: WTF??????????????

Umm you do know that ToS is like that for about...I would say a fifth or sixth of the game. The rest is awhole different ball game, instead of saving Sylvarant you plan to save both worlds by reuniting the two worlds into one. Can someone tell me what the world put together was called? Because I don't recall the game ever mentioning it in Dawn of the New World.
