According to leaks of the latest issue of Famitsu Weekly, the Star Ocean franchise is about to be revived with it's 5th entry. It is currently in development by tri-Ace and published by Square Enix for PlayStation 4 & PlayStation 3.

 

Hiroshi Ogawa is the game's Director while Shuichi Kobayashi is serving as Producer. Character designs are being handled by Akira “Akiman” Yasuda and the Lead Programmer is Yoshiharu Gotanda.

Star Ocean 5 is being developed for PlayStation 3 and will be ported to PlayStation 4 later. It is 30% complete.

I'm glad that their teaser site wasn't an absolute troll this time.

 

Hopefully this game eventually leaves Japan.

That's great news ^_^

 

 

This might actually motivates me to finish my copy of Star Ocean:Last Hope(International Version)...........................though I need to finish Xenoblade first

yes! I love Star Ocean!!

I know right!? I'm glad this wasn't another TWEWY situation where everyone thought SE was going to announce TWEWY 2 only for it to be a stupid port on mobile devices.

Port wasn't stupid, port's quite good.

Well, I meant as in like how they made us all hyped thinking that we would get a sequel only to fool us. 

 

Also, if anyone here has played the SO series, can you tell me what makes it so great? I haven't played a SO game before and I would love to know what makes it so popular amoung the JRPG genre.

Yeah, it was a bit sad but the port's fine and I'm sure TWEWY fans would be happy to see it get more exposure.

 

I'm not sure, I haven't played The Last Hope yet.

I heard The Last Hope is the weakest in the SO series. Also, have you played previous SO games before?

Sadly not.

Never played any of the previous games.

I said I would and I kind of just did...PISSING MY PANTS!!!!!!! THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL DAY! Now excuse me while I binge play SO-SO:TLH until this is released.

So this is basically proof that SE isn't giving up on the PS3 and we can still get KH3D on PS3 and PS4. Right?

Great going to get it sure on PS3 must have great graphics as it will appear on PS4.

Yay another StarOcean game! I love them all! I'm surprised no Xbox Port.

I still need to get into that series,but I can't find a physical copy of any Star Ocean game.I saw a copy of Last Hope once,but when I came back the next day to get it,it was gone.A PSN release would be nice.

Looks so beautiful, hope I'll get the chance to play it.

Nope. Star Ocean 5 has been in development for awhile for PS3. And this is one of their producer departments. Totally different story.
