If it's anything like previous Star Oceans, doign a critical hit isn't as hard as you think.
Besides breaking the board, probably not.
Besides getting a lot of bonuses stacked, nothing probably.
SO3's bonus board restarted/broke for pretty much every reason it breaks here. So most likely, yes.
SO3 Bonus Board depended on how powerful you were compared to the enemies you were fighting... the problem with it was that if the BB broke DURING battle and the % was at 0, you couldn't get it up again in the same battle. SO4 fixes that by allowing you to constantly get bonuses, if the requirements are met, even during the same fight.
Also... Linking bonuses of the same type gives the board more stability and thus decreases the chances of the whole board breaking

Yep, it is indeed a great idea. I hope you can use other characters in it, too.

The tutorial is optional. It's just the Battle Simulation mode which you can access at any time in the game by going to a room on the ship and also from the title screen. I skipped right over it, although I wish I'd tried it because I almost died in my second fight.

also from the famitsu impressions:
1. good loading time
2. enemy can also use rush attack, be careful when u r in the middle of a combo
3. sight in/out + rush is a very rewarding battle strategy
4. cat-girl's attack is cat-like.....:lol
5. girly-man is flexible since he can use both melee and long-range arts

Just saw an IGN thread and noticed the characters avatars and the menu interface on the NA version are CG like, while in the JP version they're anime like. I would've preferred having Star Ocean 4, like an anime ,like the Star Ocean 1 and 2 PSP. Damn, SE for thinking anime won't sell stateside

I agree. Can't blame them though. Look at Lost Odyssey. Personally I don't find it superior than Blue Dragon or Tales Vesperia (especially Tales), but it appeals more to a lot of people by default due to its style and more mature theme.

I prefer the cg art to be honest...the illustrated icons are pretty generic anime, the cg is just more attractive representation for me

Yes, the videos do shows how the battles are going smoothly and with good framerate. Hopefully it will be one of those well polished RPGs with no bugs/slowdowns (IU, ugh!).
BTW I just saw the latest trailer on gamekyo that shows many story parts and character introduction, there was a scene at the second half of the video showing a dead girl looking similar to Reimi. Was it really her?

The cutscenes look so... weird. :| It's probably because of their eyes being expressionless, and their mouths not moving well.

So IU is that bad that I shouldn't look into picking it up?

It's beyond horrible, not worth $20 or whatever. Get it as a dust collector or something.

Infinite Undiscovery is a flawed yet entertaining game with easily the best battle system since (not surprisingly) Star Ocean 3.
It's not a very long game and barely has any extras (aside from the bonus dungeon) but the item crafting system is pretty addictive and leveling up your characters is rather satisfying due to the cool special moves you learn.
Graphically it is very impressive, more so when you take into consideration that all battles are done in real time with no fade in/out to a separate battle scene AND you're at times joined by other parties fighting alongside you. Music's good, too.
The story is pretty decent but the voice acting is quite hit and miss.
Overall, it's worth it especially if you can get it cheap.

Lazy/dumb question: Are there random encounters or no?
