This is the same director as my Infinite Undiscovery. I came in hoping to see IU 2 gameplay wise, and looks like that's exactly what we getting.

Sold.
I liked that game a lot. I mean it wasn't a crowning example of quality but it was a fun ride for me.

The last Star Ocean that was on Ps3 Xbox 360 was one of the most underrated role playing games of all time. I guess people didn't like that game because of the obviously bad voice acting in it. but still, that game was soooooooooooo underrated and was actually better than Final Fantasy 13/13-2

Meet the latest party members.

SO5_11-08-15_Top.jpg



Square Enix has released new details and screenshot of Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness detailing the latest characters, more about the Vestir continent’s Randock city, and the new Role system for battles.

Get the details below.

■ Characters

Emerson

  • CV: Junichi Suwabe
  • Gender: Male
  • Age: 41
  • Weapon: Crossbow
  • Special Skill: Gunfire

SO5_11-08-15_001.jpg



A man who travels together with Anne. Although he’s dressed like a medicine salesman, he doesn’t actually sell medicine. He has a scary face, but a frank personality, and is always fair. He loves alcohol and women, and works hard to pickup the latter wherever he goes. He is by no means a frivolous man, however, and occasionally takes on the resolute attitude of an adult male.

He mainly attacks with his crossbow from a distance, and fights making use of his high offensive ability.

Emerson doesn’t have any Spellmark Magic, but he consumes MP when using special attacks. He has a number of bowgun-based special attacks, but they require technique. His “Benishigure” attack fires countless arrows at a wide range of enemies.

Anne

  • CV: Ayumi Fujimura
  • Gender: Female
  • Age: 28
  • Weapon: Melee
  • Special Skill: Melee Techniques

SO5_11-08-15_002.jpg



A woman who travels together with Emerson. She’s good-looking, extremely intellectual, and well composed. She’s often swung around at Emerson’s actions. She’s always relentlessly chide, but she’s not necessarily a cold person. She actually has a hidden kindness within her. She has an unmatched love for cats, too.

In battle, Anne utilizes an abundance of variegated melee attacks including quick attacks and heavy-hitting special skills, and fights making a fool of the enemy.

Anne uses a number of high firepower special skills and combos to blow away enemies. Her “Trident Arts” attack sees her fire three kicks at the enemy. The hits are massive and reduce the attack power of the enemy.

■ World

SO5_11-08-15_003.jpg



There is a large country located on the east side of the Vestir continent that is prosperous thanks to the Spellmark Magic. It has been ruled by a queen for generations, and the current queen is Holy Queen Marbenique, who is not just a prominent Spellmark Mage, but also wears the Spellmark called “Seigen,” which is only permitted to be worn by loyalty and has been handed down for generations. The Vestir continent is the top place for Spellmark Magic, and is friendly with the Leslia Kingdom, to which it offers its technology and other resources.

SO5_11-08-15_004.jpg



The capital of the Randock Kingdom. This is a castle town where there is a Spellmark Magic school and lineups of shops. It’s the one-stop place for Spellmark Magic. Inside the Randock castle is a Spellmark Research Institute. The walls inside the castle are made of typical stone, but the Spellmark Research Institute made a different design with the former Institute as a motif.

SO5_11-08-15_005.jpg



A very difficult establishment to join, where only the most superior of characters can gain admission. For that reason, the institute only seeks masters of Spellmark Magic, and there is no end to their search for new admissions, both inside and outside the Vestir continent. Fiore is a member of the Royal Research Institute, and is the most superior among her peers.

North of Santeroll is a mysterious facility from the olden days. 150 years before it was discovered, it had already stopped functioning in an uprising. But the Spellmark-related books and such remained, and the founding queen made use of the facility to further the development of Randock.

Setting roles that make the best use of a character’s special traits is advantageous, as is setting different characteristic roles that make the best use of factors. Through various combinations, you can make a strategy all your own.

  • (1) Change the AI behavior of your allies.
  • (2) Change various parameters through Factors, including offensive ability and HP.
Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness is due out for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 in Japan on February 25, and for PlayStation 4 in North America and Europe in 2016. In Japan, the game will also be available in an “Ultimate Box” edition.

Apparently you missed Star Ocean 4 then because it was one of the worst JRPGs I've ever played.
Keyword.

Also, you must of missed the first 2 cause those are some of the best jrpgs.

You probably can't even name 5 jrpgs from last gen (ps3/360 only) that are better than star ocean 4. I'll even give you 2. Lost odyssey and ni no kuni. Name 3 more.
