This looks quite similar combat wise, won't judge characters til I play it (if I play it). Fair guess to say they won't change the combat much, most JRPG don't tend to. Go rent SO3 or play the older ones to see how you like it.
Graphically it is nice, zoomed out everything looks clean enough and the character models are well detailed. When you get closer (Like in the picture with the girl) environment textures look a bit stretched.
Star Ocean series is a Epic, if you are a JRPG fan (Like me) you'll probably love it. The main focus is the awesome and elaborate storyline, fast-paced and enjoyable battle system, beautiful environments and strong well craft characters, with a good level of personality simulation. This game/series is a game to be in your "Epic RPGs Score 10" collection. But, like jackdoe said, that characters model freak me out too, hope they change it, if not, probably we will have to swallow it to enjoy the game. The older Star Ocean ones ever had anime-like characters, and i'm cool with that, i like anime and that style of visual on JRPGs too, but not freak as these ones : /
Pics look nice.
Sorry, just thought every game needed some damage control having read the Resident Evil 5 comment section
The dungeon looks pretty much as filled as RPG's become, but in the end what makes SO series so great is it's fun combat system & Story. Plus that it's one of the very few actually scifi RPG's and not with the pile of standard setting RPG's.
why ? because star ocean is a technical rpg ... a good understanding on fthe battle system is required to exploit the game ( you can enjoy it without it )
well 1 and 3 were great so i see no reason why i should wait for this one seeing it seems to improve 3 's gameplay
i wonder what kind of battle trophies they are going to throw at us ....
EDIT : i just saw the images and it's beautifull ... can't wait to try it ..next year

So im quite happy to be seeing this. Now if only they would stop making FF games....
Although I don't want them to stop making FF games, they need to re-evualuate what made 7,8 and 10 such good games.
So hopefully, since FFXIII will be made, they will rethink everything and have the game be less mmo and more rpg.
