One of the best RPG's released by Square Enix since Brave Exvius. Of course, it is a Gacha game where you earn currency and draw for Ace Heroes but the gameplay and and battles are fun and different from all the other copy Gacha games. The game is by Square Enix so it not only has Star Ocean characters but also heroes from their other games like Valyrie Profile and Nier Automata. The graphics and battles are in full 3D and there is plenty of fan service if you like that stuff. I am currently hooked on playing this game every day and like it so far since they are pretty generous with the currency and tickets for heroes and weapon draws. The other good point is that there is multiplayer mode and you can join other people's hosted games which does NOT deplete your precious stamina. I highly recommend this game!
For a free-to-play Gacha type mobile game, Star Ocean: Anamnesis is pretty decent. The gameplay, voice acting, and characters from Star Ocean: Anamnesis are okay, although I do like that cute little AI character Coro for its typical Japanese reactions and humor. It's also nice to bring back characters from past Star Ocean games you can summon, including crossover characters from other games like Nier: Automata, Valkyrie Profile, and Final Fantasy Brave Exvius.
Many downsides for this game is mostly the microtransactions when it comes to leveling and grinding for items. There's so much you need to level to make your items, equipment, and characters stronger, but to advance you need to pay more money from your bank account. Getting new characters and stronger characters is literally like gambling that has microtransactions, and they're not cheap! Even the daily missions requires microtransactions to complete for the items you need to advance! Why can't it be just a normal daily missions for the items you really need to level up without the microtransactions? Why can't the premium currency be way cheaper without inflating the prices enough to purchase a copy **** or two?
Sadly, due to lower-than-expected interest from the fans, Square Enix and Tri-Ace is shutting down services for the global version on November 5, 2019. I strongly recommend Square Enix and Tri-Ace to turn F2P mobile games into actual games for the fans to purchase, download, play, and earn achievements for consoles, mobile, and PC, like Star Ocean: Anamnesis without the daily logins, daily grinding, the gambling, and more importantly the microtransactions.
