So, I dunno how many of you are into Star Ocean, after what Squenix did with the mind**** that was the ending of Star Ocean 3, but, though it's old news, I recently came across the trailer for the fourth iteration of the series, "The Last Hope." It was posted June 11, so it was out there pretty long ago.
Story takes place 10 years after the discovery of warp drive and the changing of the calendar to the "SD" system of years (SO3 takes place in SD 772, meaning, yes, this is a prequel). Apparently, mankind just ****ed itself over with World War 3, which is what started the whole "Star Ocean" searching thing in the first place -- to find a new, non-radioactive home.
What really got me is that this is coming out not for the PS3, but for the 360. It's making me think that 360 is becoming the system of choice for jRPGs. After all, some of the biggest ones we've seen in recent years have been on the 360: Eternal Sonata, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey; and we've got Tales of Vesperia coming out for 360 as well.
