SO4 was kind of a mixed bag. If it is SO5 I hope they don't screw it up 'kay
I have up after The Second Story.
Will wait to see what it is though!
FUCK YES PLEASE BE STAR OCEAN
I want a SO with non-terribad story and non-terribad characters SO freaking bad![]()
Taking bets on whether this will be released on next gen or current gen system?
I could use a decent RPG on my Vita.

Rumor is a social game because lolSE
Cool, announcing another game when they are still working on like 10 already. Star Ocean 5, coming 2037.
Not like Tri-Ace is doing anything else.
Tri-Ace is the developer, SE the publisher.
4 is 10x better than 3, but 3 was just so bad that it made little children cry, and puppies cower in terror in a corner. It simply wasn't on the level of SO1&2, though. I think if they spent more time on the PA's, and character interactions then SO4 could have been a lot better, but imo this is where it really fell off. Not to mention in doing a prequel you kind of limit where the story can go without making it completely irrelevant.
Honestly, they should just make an extension of SO3 and start it out with Cloude Kenni suddenly waking up and stating "WOW I'm glad that was all just a dream!" and then it follows up on further adventures with him and Rena
SO4 didn't fuck up the entire plot ( /universe) with a single twist, and while a certain character is far more annoying than I thought humanly possible, the rest of the cast is pretty decent. Except Edge, who goes emo for a while then returns to his old boring self.
I honestly don't know how to rate SO3 and 4 in terms of characters, but both are definitely worse for those than SO1 and 2.
On the bright side, shit's fun.
I always did the bonus dungeons for every SO until I got to 4. Didn't even bother with that one. I sped through the game just so I could finish it. Didn't like any of the characters in 4 cept the scythe dude and only because the scythe dude knew why he was there and acted accordingly without being a bitch about it. Honestly, Maria would've made a better main character than Edge and I grew to like her as the story went on.
SO3 had Fayt who kinda sucked as a story character but was broken as shit as a PC. Sophia when you learned the right spells was deadly. Cliff stayed a boss the whole time and then you had motherfucking Albel. Even the other characters I didn't outright hate cept for maybe Roger because fuck him.
SO2 had the best chatacter ever in a Star Ocean, Ashton. Then there's Dias and Rena. Only liked Claude as a PC because his combos were pretty good. 10 wise men are some of my favorite boss fights in any RPG.
