I saw the countdown website and was briefly hopeful that it would be an announcement regarding a potential new Star Ocean game on consoles. Alas, my hopes were quickly dashed.
Though, in this day and age, if Square-Enix were to announce a new Star Ocean game, it'd probably be a boring MMORPG without a scripted single-player offline mode worth a damn, so maybe I should be grateful for small mercies. |

Well I guess we've all learned to never trust a Square Enix countdown.

EPICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC TURN OFF!!
I was an idiot to had my hopes up with SE for a new Star Ocean. But not surprising, its SE, a joke of its former self. I wish enix had not merged with SS, I bet the awesome Star Ocean franchise would still be alive. Of the few developer you can trust today, badass, kick ass ATLUS. |

Star Ocean was an Enix series not a Square series.
Without Tri-Ace I highly doubt you'll see Square Enix push a new SO series. Tri-Ace seems to have become an outsource for materials to games from other companies [FFXIII-2 SE and some Level 5 handheld games doubt we'll ever see in the states]. The most recent console offering they had was with SEGA, End of Eternity/Resonance of Fate, Tri-Ace developers also said that SO4 would probably be the last game in that series. Remember Tri-Ace is not a huge developer only capable of at most putting out a single console game about every one to two years and with console sequels typically going 4+ years between release. Valkyrie Profile 1 and 2 had 6 years between them, Star Ocean 1 and 2 had 3 [going from snes to ps1] Star Ocean 2 and 3 had 4 years and Star Ocean 3 and 4 had 6 years. So even if the series continues I wouldn't expect one until early 2014 Also considering the storyline of SO3, making an MMO of the series would probably end up falling to close to a .hack cop-out that hopefully Tri-Ace would be above. Granted there is a glimmer of hope in the internal engine developed by Tri-Ace and these outsourced projects is something to get the company by until they have a new game for release. In all honesty I'd much rather have a story sequel to RoF then a SO sequel or a new IP from Tri-Ace given that SO imo ran the course of the story with two middling story lines with one & two, the end with three and the beginning with four. Another Valkyrie Profile wouldn't necessarily be bad either but I sort of have the same opinion in regard to the story there as well and wouldn't want them to try to force a story for the sake of a sequel.

End of Eternity/Resonance of Fate was great. A sequel to that would be awesome.

Of course, did I cause some confusion?, this is why i said I wish enix had not merged with Square Soft, because with enix still kicking we could probbaly still have the franchises alive, that we loved for this publisher and its partnership with tri-ace, honestly I would rather have more of SO or VP, theres still life in them IMO, SO 4 was not good, and while 3 did end the series, SO universe is vast more stories could be told. I would love more of VP too. Resonance of fate...mmm, it sucked, the gameplay was great and challenging, so it was the battle mode, BUT the story left a LOT to be desired it made no darn sense, you had to pick broken pieces here and there to make little sense of it, it sucked for me, so no I would rather not see more of it unless its to fix the story or ACTUALLY HAVE ONE! . Infinite Undiscovery was pretty bland as well, have yet to check Frontier Gate, to me Tri-Ace has lost its touch ever since Enix merged with SS. I get the feeling its not getting enough support from SS. |

No, I apologize. It was more an agreement than a correction pointing to the fact that Square controls SquareEnix and not Enix. Thus Enix IPs have seemingly stagnated since the merger IMO.
RoF story is more about discerning the events akin to how the character's in the game piece them together instead of being directly explained/synopsis to the player [ala final fantasy which still causes to much thinking for being in your face]. I'll admit that I can see how that can add a bit of confusion, though within the game once you piece it together it actually makes sense [or at least to me it did]. It kinda reminded me of the first part of Xenogears before the second disc started. |

I like the roles in the game, they are either beautiful or handsome.
And Star Galaxy starts with the mysterious disappear of the dominant planet in an explosion, leading the galaxy into turmoil. All planets took the chance of chaos taking up arms against each other over the new leadership in the galaxy. Finally, four major forces were in dominance but they wouldn’t stop fighting until the ultimate leader came out. This is a attactive story. |
