Don’t know how long this will last, but if you want to sit around watching someone play Square Enix’s Star Ocean: The Last Hope then you can here.

Picture quality isn’t great, and it’s of course all in Japanese, but there’s more than enough there to give you an idea of how the RPG will play.

You may also notice that fighting as a female always gives you a celebratory up-skirt shot when you win. Or so we’re told, anyway…

The latest issue of Famitsu 360 has awarded Square Enix’s über-RPG Star Ocean IV: The Last Hope a highly respectable 34/40.

Capcom’s Strret Fighter IV scored the same whilst Ninja Gaiden-alike Ninja Blade also scored highly, receiving 33/40.

Star Ocean IV is set be released in Japan on February 19.

Full scores below:

• Ninja Blade 8997
• Midnight Club 8888
• Street Fighter IV 9988
• Skate 2 7887
• Shooting Love 7767
• Star Ocean 4 9988
• Sonic 8889
• Chaos Head Noah 8879

Thanks, Gaf.

TGS is clearly the show that keeps on giving. GameInfoWire’s posted up a new set of shots for Star Ocean: The Last Hope, and extremely pretty they are too.

No fixed date for this yet, aside from “2009″. Take a look.

Destructoid’s noticed an ad for Star Ocean 4 in the Infinite Undiscovery manual with the motif “only on 360″ in the lower right hand corner.

The last we heard on the exclusivity front was that there was “no plans” to bring the game to PlayStation 3. Looks like the firm wasn’t lying.

We’ll check with Square and hopefully get some clarification.
