While the announcements at Xbox 360 RPG Premiere 2008 transpired in Shibuya, they were meant for the world. Like Japan, North America will get Tales of Vesperia in August. Namco Bandai has yet to announce a specific date, but it…

It's a bit odd to say; but when playing Star Ocean: Second Evolution, it really felt no different than playing Star Ocean: The Second Story. Perhaps it's because despite a nice graphical polish and new animated cinematics from Production I.G.…

With a possible subtitle for Dragon Quest VI, I think we’re done with Dragon Quest DS rumors for the time being. Star Ocean rumors? Let’s move on to those.   We’ve been waiting to hear something official about Star Ocean:…

Square Enix Music has launched a new promotional page, this time for the original soundtrack to Star Ocean Second Evolution for the PSP, composed and arranged by series veteran Motoi Sakuraba.  As with the OST for the previous Star Ocean…
