I’m playing Star Ocean: First Departure in PSP right now. Currently on my quest for kingdom emblems. 
Star Ocean: First Departure
I got introduced to the Star Ocean series last year, when I played Star Ocean: Second Evolution in PSP. It’s kinda weird that I played the second installment first that the first one. 
Anyway, I’m not really a gamer but when I play a game, particularly RPGs (Role-Playing Game), I get hooked instantly. 
Just like when I played Final Fantasy X in PS2. Oh, I love that game. <3
I’ve wondered before about the meaning of Star Ocean. Floyd, my boyfriend who I currently live with, told me that the “ocean of stars” is the galaxy. Makes sense, no? 
But I didn’t get that. I thought the creators just like those two words together. Well, the introduction part in First Departure mentioned that bit. 
I’ve read that the creators wanted the game to be sci-fi themed but with elements of fantasy. Isn’t that kinda weird? A world where advanced technology and magic both exist? It’s like a big contradiction. But they definitely pulled it off. 
I’ve been also thinking about this – in the games, planets which don’t have super advanced technology but use Symbology (the magic in the game) are called underdeveloped planets. Why is that? I mean, for example, a Symbologist can heal in an instant but advanced technology needs time, industrial equipment and/or medical equipments, money and a bunch of stuff.
Why am I thinking about that? And why am I even playing? I should continue on my work!
I’m trying to play the game without reading FAQs and Walkthroughs. Like I said, I’m not a gamer so I’ll probably miss a lot of things like recruiting some members. orz
