Wonderful music and an exciting battle system. My favorite Star Ocean game in the franchise.

So my game has frozen twice in the middle of two different dungeons, setting me back a couple hours at a time. Turns out there's a bug in the PS1 version of the game where if you click through the post battle results (which are all of two lines) too quickly, there's a chance the game will lock up and you're boned! So I have to chill for a couple few seconds after each battle or risk losing progress.
I've sunk a good 9 hours into the game so far (not counting restarts) and I can't decide whether or not I'm too irritated to continue while having to keep this in the back of my mind... I have a lot of RPGs to get through...
...blargh...
