This Stunning Tri-Ace Tech Demo Should Be the Next Star Ocean

[Cybylt]

The only thing that can ruin a Star Ocean like game is the voice acting, I remember wanting to commit so many atrocities against the developers for the brutal raping of my ears every cutscene

I think that had more to do with the SquareEnix localization team. They tend to shaft anything without the words Fantasy, Hearts, Final or Kingdom in the title. Hard.

Tri-Ace said ages ago that SO4 was the finale of the series, so that's a no-go. What you're probably going to see next is either something new or Valkyrie Profile 3

Kirk Thornton and Laura Bailey (Lust/Cloud of Darkness voice): problem solved.

Then again, as annoying as Reimi, Welch, and Edge were, NOTHING was more annoying than that stupid "kay" bull crap. The worst part was that the game had everything else going for it (outside of a fast travel system). Games like Star Ocean show that this genre doesn't need random encounter grinding, nor ATB to work. In fact, those two things work about as well as flossing your *** with barbed wire.

it would be nice to have a main character (and much of the crew if not all of it) that arent children practically children (or actual children). and could actually be doing the things they do in the game like crewing a starship.

Look at Nier; the 360 version had a badass father as the protagonist.

Japan, IT CAN BE DONE!

Am I the only one who played Star Ocean 4 with the Japanese audio enabled? Also we need a remake of SO1.

no your not, and yes we do.

also thats the most Star Ocean paraphernalia ive ever seen and to say that your not giving hints that there may be another Star Ocean is nice and all(although dont know were you would go already gone way beyond what i will call the best move ever in the PS2 Star Ocean: till the end of time when

Spoiler

you reveal the game is a game within a game

oh yeah i do know what you could do how bout a translated version of the god damn GBA (Blue Sphere) Star Ocean by porting it to the DS or PSP with upgraded graphics and sound. Am i the only one who wants that?)... also another Valkyrie Profile would be nice.

I haven't actually played a SO game since The Second Story. Am I missing out?

y do i feel like Eric Cartman telling you to play world of warcraft when i say play Star Ocean Till The End Of Time for the ps2

Star Ocean 3 was the biggest disappointment of the PS2 generation for me, and I didn't get more than a few hours into SO4 before I realized it wasn't going to be any better.

SO2 was not a masterpiece but it had a lot more charm than its sequels, not to mention it had some great ideas that would have been awesome if they'd been refined instead of discarded.

I want to love this series again, Tri-Ace. Please make SO5 the game I've been waiting for since SO2. (And retcon SO3 out of existence while you're at it.)
