вЂњCrikey,вЂќ I thought, вЂњthis is very fast-paced combat.вЂќ Which made doing the combat training very confusing. Which is a problem, because the game is supposed to be running at 60FPS, and so itвЂ™s suddenly going about 2.5x faster than it should be. What this means is that, if you have a 144Hz monitor, then when you put Star Ocean: The Last Hope into fullscreen it will begin running at 144FPS. The first is this: fullscreen mode makes the game match your monitorвЂ™s refresh rate, and there are no in-game Vsync or frame-limiting options to deal with this. So, uh, letвЂ™s start talking problems, because there are two that drop this from вЂњgood portвЂќ to вЂњport with some rather sizeable issues.вЂќ

ItвЂ™s possible that more intensive areas will lead to framerate drops, but вЂ“ on my machine, at least вЂ“ that seems unlikely.

The PS4 version reportedly has the occasional framerate hiccups when itвЂ™s stressed out a bit (zooming out the view in an early area and trying to see as much as possible supposedly leads to framerate drops when panning) but I didnвЂ™t encounter that at all, on PC. It also flies along at 60FPS at 1440p, which is nice, if expected. I wouldnвЂ™t say it stands out as being Xbox 360 era, certainly. There are some noticeably low-quality textures in places and some of the visual effects donвЂ™t stand up to modern variants (smoke during a crash landing, for instance) but the general effect is that of a pretty вЂ“ if slightly dated вЂ“ game. Meanwhile, IвЂ™m pretty certain this is from when I left it on Low without realising. Do note that Depth of Field and Motion Blur are disabled in both sets of screenshots, because seriously, no. Which is perhaps unsurprising, if Low is basically вЂњ720p/1080pвЂќ and High is 4K, although IвЂ™m making an assumption there. IвЂ™m pretty sure the ones with more shadows are the вЂњeverything is on maximumвЂќ settings, but without playing in 4K, I canвЂ™t see much visible difference between the Low and High texture settings. So, okay, some comparison screenshots, with a disclaimer: IвЂ™m not 100% certain which are which. Also, I can turn of Depth of Field and Motion Blur, and thatвЂ™s always a bonus. There arenвЂ™t many of them, but having вЂ“ for instance вЂ“ Depth of Field explain that it emulates how a camera focuses, and when you have it turned on thereвЂ™s a blur effect outside of the focus area, is actually quite useful for anyone whoвЂ™s not sure what half of these options do. In terms of visual settings, IвЂ™m going to give another mild thumbs up, because IвЂ™m always happy to see graphical options actually explain what the hell they do. The exception to this is the usual вЂњuse the arrow keys to control the cameraвЂќ but weвЂ™ll get to that. Still, the keyboard/mouse controls are largely aimed at actual human beings, so thatвЂ™s a definite plus. The spacebar canвЂ™t be bound to anything because itвЂ™s the вЂњaccept keybinding changesвЂќ button, so youвЂ™re limited there, at least.

Japanese voices are a nice touch (especially considering that the English voices made me cringe so hard I got whiplash during one of the many, many opening cutscenes) and keyboard configuration is all there and supported. So two aspect ratios, with four resolutions each, if I can count correctly. Unsurprisingly, this means that Star Ocean: The Last Hope runs absurdly well the only framerate hitches IвЂ™ve noticed are in the first second or so of loading into a new area, which is entirely forgiveable.Д«efore we get into the nuts and bolts of how it all performs, letвЂ™s have a look at the options, of which there are many: IвЂ™m running this on an i7-3820 with 16GB RAM and a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti.

As far as I know, The Last Hope is the first of the Star Ocean games to get an official PC launch, and hopefully it wonвЂ™t be the last.

If nothing else, itвЂ™s nice to see вЂ“ once again вЂ“ more of these series engage their warp drives and head to PC.

Oh, hey, a JRPG series IвЂ™m not actually overly familiar with! As with most, I played Star Ocean: Till the End of Time back on PS2 (which IвЂ™m told is the best of the lot), but beyond that IвЂ™m fairly clueless when it comes to the space-faring XP-and-cutscene-a-thon.
