It's actually not the best, don't get me wrong this is a fun game. I just wish they would give us Star Ocean The Second Story on steam because that was the game in this series that I never forgot about.

Ok, so I have played this game multiple times on multiple platforms but never completely finished the story. I absolutely love the updated graphics and the controller controls (which you should use cause they are way better than the M&K controls) still feel really good. If you've ever played a Star Ocean game before you should know what to expect other for all others I recommend starting on easy to beat the game once just so you get the story. Then after that play on harder for the battle trophies and achievements cause just like any other JRPG it will suck your life away (30+ hours just for story) and you should totally just follow a walk through so you can have some life while playing this. And if you've played it more than once like me You should also be excited because cheat engine works for this so you can easily get a play through in faster than you usually would be able to.
Please don't whine and gripe at me for being a cheater I just don't have the time to play jrpgs like I did back in college. And this is a single player game so what I do with mine doesn't affect you at all, that being said I don't condone cheating in pvp/multiplayer games where cheating actually can effect another players enjoyment of the game.
Have fun with this game!

TL;DR - Has some flaws, but still enjoyable.
Pros:
- Battle system is fun.
- Most of the story is pretty decent, enjoyable, emotional and funny at times.
- Characters are well developed and you feel an attachment to them.
- Runs much better than the PS3 version.
- The bonus board mechanic is unique.
- XP distribution is good, no sharing, everyone gets the same XP.
- Map is useful, once you can see the chests.
Neutral:
- People complain about the voice acting, but I thought the English one was fine, much better than looking at the translation with Japanese voice acting.
Cons:
- Lack of save points. Once I played 1.5 hrs before I saw a save point.
- No fast travel, have to run back and forth, for ages.
- No quest or current objective marker or record.
- Only fetch side quests.
- Long Cut scenes, I enjoyed most of them, but one of them lasted 30 mins.
- Crafting system is too much work.
- No way to know upcoming skills / symbols so as to save up skill points for them.
- Too much backtracking to get items.
- No way to reset skills later in game, bad decisions are stuck.
- Last boss has a huge difficulty spike.
Score: 7.5 / 10

TL:DR: Star Ocean The Last Hope is a really good game especially if you know to go into a tri-ace RPG not expecting a good story for that you'd play Star Ocean 2 and Valkyrie Profile 2 (The Best Game No one played)
Graphics: 8/10 - The Character Faces can be of at times but for the most part It's solid.
Music: 10/10 - I Beat off to Motoi Sakuraba on a daily.
Voice Acting: 7/10 - Decent Performances Except Lymle and Sarah, better than(Most FUNimation Dubs)
Story - You don't play Tri-Ace games for a decent Story well except Valkyrie Profile 2 and Star Ocean 2.
Gameplay: 10/10 - This combat Is very Tales of but with free movement and the Special Arts Chain on their own none of that Base Art, Arcane Art Shit.
Characters: 7/10 - I think a good chunk of these characters had pretty good Development Myuria being a stand out.
Overall: 7/10 - Star Ocean 4 is a really good game I Beat off to this shit (not as much as Star Ocean 3 tho) but FUCK!
Play this game and If you listen to reviews who shit talk this game they need to eat some pills and wash it down with Acetone.

Just play it. It is NOT Star Ocean: The 2nd Story, despite the nice nostalgia at times. It is halfway between 2 and 3, in terms of quality, I believe (I know that 3 killed a lot of the series' die-hard fanship, but still, I personally loved it, so...). Just play it, and enjoy. Not worth a full $50, but hey, here it is at $20 :)

Although Star Ocean 4 lacks compelling characters and most of them can be very annoying, it has a great story that suits as very pleasant prequel to all other titles previously released.
The cornerstones of this game are the battle mechanics and the exploration of different planets, while some are recurring from others previously Star Oceans.
Back in the release to the XBOX 360, Star Ocean 4 already had astonishing graphics, and with this HD Remaster, it wouldn't be different. It clearly brings joy and turns things more vivid thus making you binge play it.
If you haven't got the chance to play in the XBOX 360, it's a must to play .
