Pros:
- great battle system (good enough to outweigh all cons)
- awesome music (something to expect from genius Motoi Sakuraba)
- simple and self explanatory invention/item creation system (but not Welch!)
Cons:
- cringy writing and voice acting
- large, empty and boring dungeons with unnecessary disintegration ring variations and boring puzzles and repeating textures
In short: if one is able to get over cringiness, one will enjoy the game. I was, and I enjoy the game.

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.

While not as good as the older Star Ocean games, still an absolutely fantastic and fun ARPG, Blindsiding is one of the most satisfying things I've ever done in a game. Absolutely deserves more attention for it's quality. By the numbers compared to it's siblings in the series, but sometimes that isn't a bad thing at all.
For the price, worth it. Don't let the overly rabid community fool you, this game is still considerably better than some of the weaker Tales Of games, and WELL above the bar for a good ARPG, albeit, I tend to like playing games being a more passive affair that I can do while watching youtube or TV shows, with bursts of storytelling, so your taste may vary.
As for performance, on my particular rig (i5 6400 and GTX 1060 6GB ), it plays like a dream, buttery smooth, and looking absolutely fantastic, on 1080p max settings. In fact, this is one of the few games that RUNS at 4K 60FPS on this rig, with some drops to 40 FPS. Incredible considering most games choke and die when I turn on 4K. I've seen absolutely none of the issues mentioned in some of the other reviews, granted if I can't use borderless by default I always use Borderless Gaming or Magic Borderless to make it work.
I am a very big fan of Tri-Ace's style and I would hope that the Tri-Ace games currently on PC encourage them to port more games to PC.

It's still a good game, even though it is plagued by an infinite list of annoying things
PRO :
-Arumat, the only character that make sense in the whole game
-Myura (i think you know why)
-Your character end up god like (at the end of the game)
-You can teleport (at the end of the game)
-Synthesis is nice (at the end of the game)
-Fighting is nice (at the end of the game)
-You can drink everytime they say universe (at the end of the game)
-Bacchus (well he's trying at least)
-The music is nice (at the end of the game ?)
-The bunny is cool (at least)
-Meracle (cat girl)
CONS :
-they literally went out of their way to fix some bugs that made the game better, like the overflow trick, but they didn't try to make the game better at all
-Edge (is too edgy)
-you can't change the walking character, you are stuck with Edge forever (i can feel your disappointment from here)
-you can't zoom or move the map, one of the worst idea ever
-The story is generally bad (but hopefully i didn't came for the story)
-Myura (yes she's in both, no it's not a mistake)
-Faize (hello i have a super ship but no let's walk ???, so much more to say but hey no spoiler)
-Sarah (too slow)
-Lymle (why is there a kid in the party ???)
-Reimi (too annoying)
-You take forever to walk everywhere
-You get a bunny to go faster but you actually go slower
-Did i say Edge ?
-I can't hear the word universe anymore

Do not be discouraged by the overwhelming time intensive looking trophies and definitely do not let the battle simulator / tutorial fool you - it's uncharacteristically hard and doesn't represent the actual game's combat at all. Also don't let the second real boss discourage you either, that's also uncharacteristically hard compared to the rest of the game.

Grind, grind and grind if you want to stand a chance against the bosses.

Ok hear me out.. the game play is fluid, fun. That being said..Its story is horrible when compared to other star ocean games prior, do not get me started on the after this one. I recommend it only for the game play if you want a story play one the previous titles ((yes I have low hours on this only because I played, beat it on PS4))
