New Star Ocean Series Scans



We have the latest scans for the latest Star Ocean games. Enjoy, above is Star Ocean IV. We also have some details on the game:
• The game “isn’t that far off”
• Specific details on SO4’s release will be available by the time people are done playing the SO1 and SO2 remakes
• In its current stage the battles are already playable, but full of placeholder elements
• The story is done, and while he can’t talk about its setting yet, there might be some surprises related to that at the TGS. But it won’t be so different that characters from other games in the series won’t be able to return.
• He concedes that past Star Ocean games have not really felt like they were set in an ocean of stars. In this one you will be able to pilot a ship and travel to different worlds, and while it will retain fantasy elements, it will live up to the series’ title more than the previous games in the series have.
• The man and woman in the screenshot are the hero and heroine of the game. As a teaser they placed figures of them in the display at the SE party and he was disappointed that almost no one noticed.
• The heroine’s name is Reimi. The hero’s name is Edge Maverick!
• There aren’t just two or three planets in the galaxy this time. There are more. Sounds like a lot more.
• You can have four companions with you in battle this time. There are a lot of new elements and it doesn’t really feel like the battle system of SO3.
• Private Actions will, of course, return.
Also, it is going to be a one console exclusive, the PlayStation 3. Below, we have Star Ocean I and II for PlayStation Portable:
