The game will be priced at $20.99 on both platforms, while having a 10% discount for Playstation plus members, and steam users the first two week after the game is playable (ending December 12) The playstation purchase will come with a exclusive theme and Playstation Network avatar icons based on the game while steam will offer a mini soundtrack with the purchase. The Steam game also comes with Denuvo DRM that people are aware of.

Developed in partnership with tri-Ace, Star Ocean: The Last Hope takes place at the beginning of the Star Ocean series timeline and is a full HD remaster with added 4K support and PC keyboard, mouse and controller support. The game takes players on an epic journey across the universe in an immersive, intergalactic story of survival where humanity must turn to the stars in search of a new home. Featuring strategic real-time combat, the remastered title also keeps the original deep Item Creation System and Private Action system that explores character relationships and subplots for a richer and more rewarding story, and exhilarating Blindside battle system, which fuses evasion and offense.

after i read what has wikipedia to say about Denuvo, https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denuvo, i found it funny and hilarious i think Squarenix will release a patch that removes DRM one month after the release.

and the theory about Denuvo might cause possible damage to SSD, seems there aren't evidence which directly confirm this.

But you can't deny that if that goes down, so does the game. Denuvo doesn't benefit legit users, I hope the game gets pirated because of it.

OP is wrong. I got the email on friday too about the ps4/pc release. the game is 29.99 without ps+

Ooooh i wasnt expecting to see this one brought to current gen. Maybe if this does well 3 might make its way to PS4 too. I personally still need to get around to playing the 5th game.

I don't see this game getting much love when there are already better PS4 RPGs out there. The Witcher 3, Shadows of Mordor, Final Fantasy 12, Final Fantasy 15 and probably a few more I don't remember.

Final Fantasy XV? Ugh. Star Ocean 4 gets a lot of unwarranted hate, yes, the voice acting sucks in English (Japanese audio FTW), but it's far from the worst translation. Can we say the original Star Ocean 2?

On the playstation 3 version, you get Arumat's ultimate tech so late in the game (I think post-game, actually) that it's useless. Does this fix that?

Why would they program the game to do that?

Because the Xbox360 version had it that way.

Hope they fix it then.

I would strongly suggest that the psp version of so2 had inferior VA compared to the ps1 version

PS1 version had horrible audio quality, which resulted in muffled voices though (think worse than Snes voices), and Engrish, I mean, they even called Parabola Beam, "Parabora beam" . I played the undub of Star Ocean 1 and 2 on PSP, vastly superior. That, and the graphics are much better on the PSP ports, cleaner textures and none of that PSX 3D wobble.

I want a Switch release...

to each their own. i felt the naming of the the ten wise men, new voices, new portraits, and 3 hit attack combo system ruined the game entirely

Meh, the translation was still superior when it came to the dialog itself, the PSX version was too literal. The muffled voices are painful. Japanese voices in the PSP port are better.

I like a lot of the psp port better. It improved a lot of mechanics and had a smoother script.

But the artwork from the original seems so much better. They had some level of realism that set them apart from typical anime characters. I also hated that I couldn't turn off the voice acting.

Yeah the original artwork is better, I just use the undub versions of the PSP remakes.

Already bought it, 19 dollars and runs buttery smooth, so glad Square Enix did the port and not a shoddy job by an no-name studio.
