    Star Ocean 5 has recently released some new videos and information since we last checked in. The game is scheduled for a Spring release in Japan for both PS3 and PS4. A North American and European release date has not yet been announced, but it will be only for the PS4.

    Are you still looking forward to this game? When do you think the rest of us will see a release date?

    Also, here is a video for you to enjoy!

      Which other SO was actually close to SO4's level of fanservice? Examples?

      I don't think anyone actually argues that the space travel was what made SO4 bad.

      And idk why you played the star ocean games, but it hasn't really ever been about exploring the ocean of stars (except a tiny bit of it in so4). perhaps the title is silly, sort of like none of the final fantasies actually are final

      Star Ocean 3 has tons of fanservice with Nel flashing her panties all the time. There were also various extra fetishy costumes. I only played the game once ad will never play it again but I heard the ladies get some sexy alternate outfits.

      Also Albel was pretty much just dripping with "oggle me, fangirls."

      None of that comes even close to the amount there is in SO4. I'm not denying there isn't any fanservice in 3, but the amount a game has certainly matters.

      While SO3 has some that you can ignore without much effort, 4 practically shoves it in your face on a regular basis.

      Funny thing is.. Fan service isn't something that sticks out in my mind. I usually groan at that sort of thing. But the only thing that sticks out anymore is Edge. Like a popcorn shell of hate burrowing into the gums of my brain, I can't ignore it. I may hate Edge as much as The Spoony One hates Titus. Which is... a lot. Now I want to watch his video series of riffing on FFX again..

      I actually thought Edge was alright. Not one of my favourite protagonists ever but... relatively sensible and useful. He was a vessel with which to interact with Reimi, who I liked a lot. The game as a whole hasn't exactly left an impression on me like 'Till The End of Time did.

      I think this is looking really cool you know. And that battle music! I was very critical of Sakuraba-san in the Tales thread but I think he's far more suited to Star Ocean.

      Should play Baten Kaitos if you have not. I got it on the recommendation of some people and a lot of their praise was directed to the soundtrack, scored by Sakuraba.


      I rank it up there with the likes of Chrono Cross. That's very high praise.

      Why the hell can't he do this in Tales!?!?
