Incorrect, that was Star Ocean: Till the End of Time your thinking of. The last Hope had a system where you had to create/find recipes and the harvest resources form enemy drops and resource points, which thanks to multiple discs became a serious pain in the 360 version thanks to needing to enter your space ship (stuck on a planet on disk 3 for the end a post game when IC was most important) to reset resources points most of which rest on a planet on disc 2.
But really that a meh story that dragged in the middle were really the only bad things about it why lump it in wiht ET and Sonic ’06?
If she really hated the Guard She’d have told the Guard to go play Trinity Universe, and the first Neptunia Games. Damn those were kinda bad in retrospect. Especially HDN.
