Meet the heroes of Star Ocean 4

I hope that Tri-Ace remembers that there’s a “Star” in “Star Ocean” and doesn’t stick you on a backwater planet where they just recently invented cannons like they did in III.

The battle system in Star Ocean 3 was horrendous! I hope they’re doing more than simply adding 4 player support (although that may improve battles as well). I had to quit playing SO3 because I couldn’t stomach anymore wandering around, fighting lizardmen. If the story were compelling at all (up to the point I quit; I don’t know about overall), maybe I could have dealt with it.

I’m pretty “meh” about the whole series after that. I likely won’t buy it no matter what system it’s on.

I loved Star Ocean 2 and 3 to death. That’s why I had to send this in ASAP, thanks for the extra details. Also THIS is the game that would make me buy a next-gen console, regardless of reviews.

Sounds pretty interesting. I wish more RPGs would incorporate Skies of Arcadia’s “world map” exploration system. It’d work well with a game like Star Ocean. Being able to freely fly a ship to any destination you want..
