Works with their own YMMV pages:
- Star Ocean
- Star Ocean: The Second Story
- Star Ocean: Till the End of Time
- Star Ocean: The Last Hope
- Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness
- Star Ocean: Anamnesis
- Star Ocean: The Divine Force
- Awesome Music: "Go to the Light,"
the opening theme of Star Ocean EX. - Broken Base: Till the End of Time's plot twist has split the fanbase to this very day.
- Faux Symbolism: Star Ocean have many villains named after Christianism deities, despite having nothing to do with religion.
- Game-Breaker: Has its own page.
- Low-Tier Letdown: The mages in any of the games tend to get the short end of the stick, as they tend to sport low movement speed and defenses while their magic spells root them on the spot and leaves them wide open. By endgame, physical attackers can do much more damage compared to the time it takes for mages' spells to take effect (especially in 1 and 2 where spells completely stopped the flow of battle) while also having better defensive stats and movement speed. Mages specializing in healing tend to have it better, however, since physical attackers by themselves typically don't have access to reliable healing.
- Never Live It Down: Many fans still have trouble getting over the third game's infamous plot twist.
- Spiritual Successor: A developer mentioned that the Star Ocean series was actually first created with Star Trek as main motivation.
- They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: The futuristic nature of the series is mostly ignored, as the games tend to focus on Medieval European Fantasy worlds, rather than on spaceships and advanced planets.
