Square Enix officially announces Star Ocean on PS3, passes along hilarious fact sheet

starocean5

Square Enix has finally dropped the official announcement that Star Ocean: The Last Hope is PS3-bound.

Releasing worldwide on February 9, 2010, the game’s an “international” affair. It gives the PS3′s Blu-Ray drive plenty to chew on with English and Japanese voices and English, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Japanese options for everything aside from spoken word.

Also, after a cursory glance at the game’s fact sheet, Shacknews discovered its shocking (but mostly hilarious) secret. Click through the link for a quick chuckle. Which, we guess, still counts as “more.”

So the only addition is different languages on the same disc? Thats pretty lame compared to what Namco are doing with Tales of Vesperia.

Talking of Vesperia, I freaking love that game, only recently started playing… It’s been ages since I enjoyed a jrpg this much, FFXIII better pull off something amazing if it wants to be better… And now I’ll finally have a decent excuse to buy a PS3… :)

Anyway, carry on, sorry for off topic… ^^

That’s the true power of Blu-Ray! Now you can play all of your games in German.

@3 Along with some minor tweaks thats all that is announced. There is a rumor it may have a bonus char and dungeon.

Not like it matters this game was God awful.

Well Blerk if you’re an English person living in a foreign country (or just someone who can speak atleast abit of English for that matter) you’d be pretty happy to be able to put your games in English and not hear the terrible VO, which apart from Infamous is doable on all PS3 big hitter games.
Same cant be said for 360 “no-more-disc-space-for-it” exclusives.

Does the 360 version have at least the Japanese voices? I prefer to stick subtitles on and hear the Japanese voice over for JRPGs – it just feels better.

I don’t think it does, no.
