Star Ocean 5: CONFIRMED
By Darkalenia 2015-04-14 09:37:03
A few days ago Square-Enix put up this teaser site, and it's been revealed to be the next Star Ocean title!
Titled Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness, the game is the fifth installment in the main series and is being developed by Tri-Ace, the studio that originally launched Star Ocean in 1996 on the Super Nintendo. The artist known as Akiman (Akira Yasuda) is the game’s main character designer, and this latest title takes place between Star Ocean 2 and Star Ocean 3.

According to Famitsu Weekly, the game is about 30% developed, so we still have a ways to go before we see this released.
Translated Prologue
Quote:
Do the depths of space forbid peace for mankind—
Centuries after leaving Earth, after a multitude of trials, with the creation and spread of the ‘Galactic Federation’, humanity was on the verge of unified order and peace.
But the embers of conflict have begun to burn again.
Over 6,000 light years from Earth, on the unsettled planet, ‘Faicreed.’
Just as so many times before, the waves of history begin from a remote planet.

Main protagonist is Fidel Camus.
And his childhood friend, Miki.
Dunno how Kalila makes her threads so pretty, but I did my best :3

Not gonna lie, very excited about this. Star Ocean 2 is probably my favorite game of all time, man, makes me want to play it again. Although I lost my PSP and original copy years ago. ._. /sad

A little disapointed it's being developed for the PS3 but at least there will be a port for PS4.
Star Ocean is definitely one of my favorite series and can't wait for the eventual release.

Look at the screens/scans gallery I posted. It's obvious that they will have facial expressions :D

Had an original PS copy that I played to death, I think my brother sold it without my knowledge years ago though. >< Still the better version, PSP just cleaned some stuff up and has some pretty cutscenes.

The VA work in the original SO2 was awful.

***was laughable. Tons of awful Engrish-y translation work didn't help either.
There's no reason to play the original PSX version. Everything is better in the PSP re-release.

Wife loves the Star Ocean games... watched her play 4... So the series can only go up from there, right?
Also, why is Japan still making PS3 games -_- Time and resources going into a crappy PS3 port is a waste. Especially when this game probably isn't going to be out for another 1-2 years.

I personally loved 4. I put over 200 hours into it. The combat was great, the graphics were really good at the time, the story wasn't terrible(not super great, but ok), and I loved all the characters, yes even Sarah and Lymle, although Edge was a bit annoying after a certain point in the story.
Hell, there was 2 bonus dungeons as well, plus the crafting, which was nerfed on PS3, but still manageable. Yeah, there were some flaws, but overall, I liked it more than 3, not that 3 sucked besides the plot twist. The point is, as long as SO5 has elements of all the previous games(here's looking at you SO2), and the fact that Tri-Ace is still developing it, then we can expect something good.

awesome. Iv always liked this series. Started with star ocean the second story. And i still like that one the best. Till the end of time wasn't two bad. Clear room for improvement in many aspects on both games, but still rly good none the less. - Ironically, i just picked up a copy of The last hope a week ago.

Aw, Christ. This is why Star Ocean is terrible, you guys. You take what should be a great idea for a sci-fi space exploration JRPG and ruin it by setting the whole *** game on some backwater *** planet so you can make yet another boring fantasy game.
Phantasy Star had us going to different planets like 30 years ago. It shouldn't be that hard to try to make your game different than Dragon Quest.

Dunno how Kalila makes her threads so pretty, but I did my best :3 You did fine, if anything I think I tend to make some of my posts too cluttered, and need to work on visual simplicity while keeping the visual appeal. Sometimes I'll just spend an hour or two... or more with formatting because I just like doing it, and seeing the results of my work, like little personal projects to please my curiosity and creativity.

As far as iw as told, the first release was a japan only game. Only the remakes and what not were released over here recently. And iv never been to eager usually to run out and get those types of releases. Thats why i have the original PS copy of the second story, not the psp release

First Departure is the PSP remake of 1 God, it's worth playing over the original SNES since it had pretty bad audio. I played the SNES version on an emulator and I'm a little sad because I can't really find the PSP game in stores here anymore. Might have to look around a bit more.

First Departure is also the first official NA release of that game. If you enjoyed the S02 engine, it's the same one they used remaking.

RAY!! *20mins animation ensues for 100~ points of damage*
Absolutely love this series, although I still haven't finished 4 though. :/ Second Story and Till the End of the Time were so much fun though and I poured so much time into them and their bonuses dungeons. The PSP ports of 1/2 were also really excellent (even with the horrible redesign of Rena) and I'd highly encourage other fans to try to pick them up if they can!
