I hope they have JP VA for the US release, otherwise gonna have to get this on PC and mod it in.

I hope they will eventually bring all the games to PC, even though i don't like the artwork made for the gacha game that ended up on the Star Ocean The First Depature remaster, i preferred the original PSP artwork for the game.
Anyway, good franchise, filled with mechanics and stuff to do, encourages multiple playthroughs, i recommend it if you havent played them yet.

Really should get around to properly playing the 360 version I have around here but have a few too many such games on the go.

don't most games let us choose the original jp voices now?

Star Ocean has always been hit and miss. Hoping this one is at least better than The Last Hope.

Star ocean?

I have one of those games on my nintendo switch. Is quite difficult to be honest. Those battles just seem very poorly designed in my opinion. Glad this new one don't seem to be anything like the old ones. I dislike rpg games where they basically make it so you're forced to spend time fighting weaker monsters, not getting a lot of exp to level up faster to keep the pace going. It's a ACTION game, so why does it feel like my stats still matter more than my skill to control the character.

Looks like Phantasy Star, but I like it.
What more: PS4, STEAM ~yeah baby!
Game that I would wait for sure :3

It was a good game, not better than early games - but good, I enjoy it.
Next one I not played too far... Should do it soon

most but not all

SO6 will hopefully be the game SO5 (Star Ocean lite) should have been. This one probably really needs to succeed for there to be a guaranteed future for the series. When Tales went 3D, it was kind of like a poor man's Star Ocean and now the situation has been completely flipped.

it looks cool but can u download it on a nintendo switch or u have to pay for it just to play it i heard it a amazing game and seen the trailer in youtude saying it would come back but it did

 

[godreborn]

you can preorder this game already on the psn store. there's a digital deluxe version of the game, but do the ingame items you get exist anywhere in the actual game? it's $75. plus, it only lists the ps5, unless I missed where it mentions the ps4.

Besides the lazy mouth animations not matching the dubbing, and the dubbing sounding terrible, the game looks very unpolished. The models look and move very weird to me. Like motion capture just wasn't in the budget. The skin also looks very odd. Like some uncanny valley shit. I don't see myself picking this up.

the character models do look like shit, but I'll probably get it, since I'm a star ocean fan. they've really messed things up with the last two entries though. why can't they remake star ocean 2 or something?

Or localize/remake Star Ocean for the Gameboy Color.

blue sphere? I have a reproduction cart, though I prefer the original as it comes with quite a hefty instruction manual. that is definitely something I miss about games.
