    Square Enix loves their countdowns. Recently a new one popped up. Full of space and tweets.

    Two planets floating in space with a sun looking down on us, we are presented with a countdown. Earlier in the day the only word on the screen was "STAR". Now to join it is "DIVIDE." In the small text below the countdown it reads "Universal Accel Cosmic Drive". Tweets are then appearing when people mention anything about the site. So what is this all about?

    Most fans are jumping straight to the conclusion of a new Star Ocean game. Star Ocean was a popular series that many final fantasy fans branched out to, to fill their minds with space and adventure. It was definitely one of the influential game series that caused many fans to truly sink into the RPG fandom.

    Most fans did jump to this conclusion that the countdown would be from their beloved series but over at Siliconera, they discovered actual evidence of the sort. They found something called "Star Galaxy" has been trademarked by Square Enix. Could the name galaxy lead one to believe that it is to be a large immersive MMO? We'll find out in 4 days!

    So are we about to hear about a new Star Ocean game called Star Galaxy? Or is it something else entirely? What do you think! Are you excited for a possible new entry to the Star Ocean series? Doesn't that countdown look pretty?

      So am I. I completely understand why they make browser and iOS games but stick to the console for the most part plzkthx. I'm not paying for a PSP or DS for no reason.

      I read up about the basics of the game and I am completely disinterested in it. I wonder why they tried to make this teaser site to build up anticipation for a game that most will not be able or want to play?

      Because they have lost touch with their customer base.

      This is why I don't even pay attention to their countdowns anymore. Way too many letdowns. Every time they do one everyone starts pissing their pants that it's something Chrono or Star Ocean or something and it always ends up being a card game or some mobile thing.

      Meh, oh well. Star ocean games always bore me with how godawfully repetitive they are. 3 and 4 are the only ones that held my interest for any length of time. 2 just... Ugh it was just so damn tedious.
