I'll be honest with you, this game needs a port badly. It appears in no other forms outside of the PS2 and it is an absolutely legendary RPG. It pushed the PS2 to its absolute limits, had a completely never before OR after seen crafting system, had extremely impactful depth, and all of this in an ACTION Rpg. It doesn't deserve the rub it's gotten.

This was the second action JRPG I played back in 2003. My mom randomly surprised me with this game on my 13th birthday. I had never heard of the series before but she knew I was into anime and had recently played through Kingdom Hearts the previous year. I have so many memories staying up all night during the summer to play and having to sneak/pretend that I slept the night before when my parent woke up to go to work. This game meant a lot to me when I was younger and unfortunately, I lost it after my house was broken into. I never owned another copy and finding a hard copy for a reasonable price feels impossible. I would love to actually own this game via GOG. So I'd appreciate it if this game were to be added to this library. I think it's an outstanding JRP that deserves to be preserved.
One of the best JRPGs of all time that is locked to a platform with a curator that does not care about the genre at all as they are too focused on "western" games. This game slaps all the right ways
Truly one of my favorite games of all time - a friend gave it to me in high school on a whim, and I became so enraptured that I'm still hauling out my old PS2 almost 20 years later to play it again! I'd never played a SO game before, but the story and mechanics in this one blend so beautifully, and the narrative heel turn it takes still charms me. I've even still got my old Bradley guide (held together by duct tape), SO3 is really one of the absolute best!
In my opinion the peak of the series. Entries after all have flaws, overcomplicated combat, terrible AI, or just downright malfunctional. But TTEOT exemplifies the JRPG genre in the best ways. Fun, yet challenging combat that had no problem punishing you if you weren't prepared. A crafting minigame that WASN'T a slog, a compelling story that kept me on the edge of my seat and well rounded, interesting characters that were written well enough to make me care for them. The PS2 holds some of the greatest RPGs in history, and this game definitely deserves to be preserved along with them.
one of the first star ocean games i beat. i got this game back in the day on day one release. since its been made available on ps4/5 i have played and beat it a few more times. i would love for this to be available on pc

I will GLADLY tell my story. It was legit the first Action JRPG I played and it opened the door for me to try other star ocean, tales series, final fantasy, legend of dragoon, and many other titles. As it stands, I can only play this on the ps2, and ps4/5. Ps2 has av connectors that dont play well with lcd and oleds and the ps4 version keeps freezing. This is my last hope (pun).
I would love to see this game ported here. It was the first JRPG I ever played, and it inspired me to play more JRPGs. This game needs a port because it is only on the PS2. So a port would be great PLZ GOG.

I remember this game when I was in middleschool. Such memorable music, sound effects, story, characters and so on. I will never forget getting to the final boss and beating the game to find out there are WAY TOUGHER BOSSES post main game. This game has its flaws, but its one of the only games where the flaws cant keep me from returning to play the game. If you too like this game as much as I do, please share this in any jrpg/ star ocean community so that we may one day see this game finally ported to PC. Do keep in mind even though its on PS4/PS5 as downloadble game, there is no garuantee we will have access to it on future PS consoles. Show your support by sharing the link to this page to have others vote for this game to be ported by GOG to PC!!! I appreciate everyone who vores/ shares the link.
Those games also need your vote!

Stella Deus: The Gate of Eternity
Stella Deus: The Gate of EternityStella Deus is a story-driven tactical role-playing game in which the player controls a group of characters both picked up during the course of the story and in side events. The world is navigated using an overworld map using point-to-point navigation, with a date system showing the length of time it takes to get to a selected location. Alongside the story missions, Towns can be visited, in which characters can customize and create new weapons and armor, sell existing equipment in exchange for money, and shop for items such as healing potions. In camps set up on a journey, characters can swap out weapons and armor, equip items such as healing potions and beneficial charms for future battles. Special items used in character leveling can also be crafted by the player. Alongside story-based missions, there is a special dungeon called the Catacomb of Trials, where characters can battle and gain experience levels, raising their general statistics. The number of available levels in the Catacomb increases as players progress through the game. Each character has a specific character class, which they keep throughout the game and continue to level up as they gain experience points (XP). Higher amounts of XP are awarded for executing special abilities. Along with swordsmen and archers, there are alchemists (mages), priests (healers), and units who fight using most things from axes to fists. Most battles are triggered based on story events, and are completed when the stated object has been accomplished by the player, be it defeating all enemies, defeating a boss, or performing a specific task. At the end of each battle, the players gain a summery of their performance and spoils gained. The game uses the turn-based Replaceable Action Position battle system, much of which was carried over from the battle system used in Hoshigami: Ruining Blue Earth. Players navigate the field across a grid-based map, which can include obstacles such as bodies of water and high structures. Character positioning within the environment can be used to their advantage, such as an archer gaining higher accuracy when at a high point in the level. Character actions are arranged in a set order, and each character's weapon dictates their attack range. Each time a character performs an action, they gain experience points and additional Skill Points (SP) that can be used to purchase supplies or raise individual character stats. Three types of Skills can be equipped for characters: Action Skills, a special attack that player execute for a certain amount of Magic Points (MP); Support Skills, which grant passive abilities such as scaling higher obstacles; and Zone Skills, which grant passive abilities to both the equipped character and those in close proximity to them. Alongside Action Skills, two or more characters in conjunction trigger unique special moves called Team Attacks. The amount of damage done depends on how many characters took part in the action. Team attacks also increase the rewards gained at the end of battles. Characters' actions are governed by their stored Action Points (AP): a character's turn begins when their AP meter is at 100. A character's actions can continue until the meter reaches 0, meaning that they can move and attack multiple times within their turn. The amount of AP used with each action depends on the weight of the armor the character is wearing.

In the ensuing chaos, Tony sneaks to the front of the mansion, barely alive, and manages to escape in his car. Sosa is then informed that Tony's mansion has been seized and his massive drug empire has been reduced to nothing. Hiding in a safehouse located outside of Miami, Tony regrets the decisions he has made but swears revenge on Sosa.
