Graphics chip overheats, everything goes dead.

They've been 'fixing' it for a while, and failure rates on the newest models are apparently much lower.

Unless it's a lot better than Star Ocean 3, PS3 owners whining over their loss of a JRPG won't really have much to complain about. The main characters in the trailer look so bland and ugh. And I think it's pretty likely it's going to be a multiplatform release, anyway.
I'm prettu sure triace already stated it wouldn't be a multiplatform release. Regardless, a 360 will probably cost about $120 when this game gets out anyway, so why not get one?
And why shouldn't a PS3 owner who liked the previous Star Ocean be allowed to complain?

Yoshinori Yamagishi: I believe your question translates into, would it be coming out on PS3 as well. The answer to that is, there are no plans, nothing set in stone at the moment—we can’t say right now that it will come out or it won’t come out for sure, so it could go either way. The only thing that’s confirmed right now is that it’s coming out on Xbox 360.
There does, however, seem to be serious problems in getting both of those things to translate into a respectable total gaming time. This is obviously a valid concern for an RPG fan.
As already pointed out, tri-ace has to know that the main market for this game is and will be Japan. On any given month, the 360 gets outsold by the PS2 for crying out loud.
Also, while the PS2 was the hardware-inferior console of the last generation, there wasn't a significant difference in format, and format is obviously at the top of the list of reasons why the 360 is inferior to the PS3.
What makes you think that the 360 can't produce games of a decent length? Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey had average play times of 60 and 50 hours (for main quest completion) respectively. That's to say nothing of the life-destroying behemoth Oblivion. If your point is that they can't do so without spanning it over multiple DVDs (and this only seems to be an issue for Japanese games that are filled to the brim with cutscenes) then here's the world smallest violin playing for everyone who can't be bothered changing disk every 10-20 hours. Especially when both SO2 and SO3 were multi-disk games anyway.
That statement is pretty vague, so I have no idea. If we're still talking about content and game length (which was the point I was making), then I don't see why they would need to cut anything out of Oblivion to make it 'fit' consoles. Both PC gaming and the 360 use DVD media and both could have utilized multiple DVDs if it came to that. If you're talking about performance or gameplay then that's a whole different debate.
Ugh..i cant AFFORD a 360...and frankly there isnt enough games on it i'm really interested it to justify owning one...gr...lets hope something more hopeful happens for me! lol
