End of Eternity (aka Resonance of Fate) has friendly features like a battle retries instead of game over screens and text you can read with a SDTV.

Sega had a change of plans. End of Eternity aka Resonance of Fate in the West won’t appear anywhere until next year.

Countdown clocks for video game announcements are over. Sega has a new marketing gimmick, a teaser site with a countup clock, and they’re testing it with Resonance of Fate.

Sega’s Tokyo Game Show trailer for Resonance of Fate (End of Eternity in Japan) is light on action. Instead, Sega reminds us who the main characters are.

Square Enix is raising the bar for their “international” editions, which usually have English voice acting and Japanese subtitles. Star Ocean: The Last Hope International also includes English subtitles.

Star Ocean: The Last Hope International, which is Star Ocean: The Last Hope with Japanese and English voice acting is slated for release in Japan on February 4, 2010.

Sega’s first project with Tri-Ace, Resonance of Fate (aka End of Eternity in Japan), will have a Japanese voice option. However, the English voice track won’t be complete.

Surprisingly, Square Enix commented on the Star Ocean: The Last Hope listing found in the PlayStation 3 section of Gamefly. A spokesperson said, “the posting on Gamefly.com was an error and had been taken down from their site.”

Tri-Ace released a video showcasing Resonance of Fate’s battle system. And the tri-Attack-Battle is like The Matrix meets Star Ocean.

Star Ocean: Blue Sphere heads to mobile phones in a few days. With this release the slew of Star Ocean remakes should be over. Enix originally released Star Ocean: Blue Sphere for Game Boy Color and it is the only Star Ocean game not in North America.
