It would look better if it didn't have the weird filter that made it look like you've just turned sharpening up to max in your tv.

I can’t adjust the display on my 4K TV so the UI goes off screen. Other than that the game looks OK. The art direction does a lot for it.

I bought the new PS4 port of Star Ocean 4 instead. I guess I’ll have to make do with slightly less anime.

You bought the game that is more anime if we are doing a scale system.

Because I had an itch for an anime sci-fi RPG but cheaper and more on the action side.

Unless you have already played SO4 you are looking at the wrong game friend.

SO4 is anime in strange and confusing ways, with little attempts to blunt it with localization.

Unless by anime you mean big boobs but that would be dumb.

I played a Star Ocean for a bit on PS2, it was alright but nothing special. Haven't played any Xeno games.

Wanted to thank the couple of people who suggested accessories a few pages back! I ended up with getting the Switch and a Pro controller for 320 after tax, using a giftcard deal. I picked up those glass screen protectors, which went on super smoothly. Also grabbed a case but haven't used it yet.

I bought Zelda, which has been really fun, just a couple of hours off of the Great Plateau so far. Also picked up Sonic, which is fun even if I've always been bad at platformers.

I'm also waiting for Mario Kart which I picked up through Living Social last weekend. I wish I would've just paid more to get it elsewhere, isn't supposed to arrive until Tuesday.

Star Ocean games are so, so bad. They ask the bold question, what if someone took the combat from a typical Tales Of game, and made it completely dog poo poo.

LEMME SHOW YOU SOMETHING!!!
Just 100%'d Odyssey. Wonder what I should play until Xmas when I will get Skyrim.

Need to go back and finish playing through Golf Story. Also grabbed Shantae. Plus my large PS4 backlog thanks to the Switch.

But really debating if I should grab Mario + Rabbids while it is on sale for $40 on the eshop. It is normally a game I would get a physical copy and later sell. So may just wait for the actual game to git $40 and get my Best Buy gamers club discount from there. Was luke warm on Xcom and Xcom2, but I can see a Mario themed one maintaining my interest more.

Square-Enix can kiss my rear end for not localizing the PS4 port of Star Ocean 2.

Ten games published by Automata, on one cassette
I think that XC2 uses some sort of temporal antialasing and the game is rendered at sub hd levels, so there's not that many jaggies but it originally looked very blurry, so then they threw a sharpening filter over it to counteract the blurriness. So now it looks both blurry and like a compressed jpeg.

It was the broken PSP version anyway. But still lol that that's the only one they didn't bring over.

Can you fix that with the switch display settings?
System settings > TV output > adjust screen size
It let's you shrink the output so it fits on the screen.

Pls don’t adjust the setting on your switch, there should be some way to disable overscan on your tv. Search for your tv model or just post it here if you can’t find a guide.
