I kind of agree. After playing Vesperia, it's hard to go through IU. It's just weird, IU just seems kind of half ass'd compared to tri-Ace's other games. It just feels lacking, kind of like a "test" game. I guess it makes sense since Star Ocean 4 comes out in the spring(unless delayed) which is about 6 months away give or take. Pretty fast when you think about it. I guess they just used this to gain experience with the 360 hardware, and make the needed improvements to their engine--which seems to run/look better in SO4. I don't know. Guess we'll see come TGS when they have the playable demo.
as for Vesperia, it's been good so far. I'm quite amazed on how well they localized the game, especially Yuri's VA(Troy Baker). Oh and yeah, most of the music is pretty mediocre. Makes me wonder how much Sakuraba actually contributed to this one.
