Star Ocean 4 JP site open. Release Feb 19=Japan, Feb 24=NA, April 24=PAL

ah, it all makes sense now! Actually, no, it doesn't. Doesn't matter, it's crash landing on some backwater planet time!
 
Btw, there are slots for only 3 more characters... that IS lame. Unless they add more slots later.
 
Battle footage looks SICK.

Killer Moves now consume MP instead of HP like SO3. there seems to be a more emphasis on juggling than in previous SO games. the Sight Out effect is sweet as hell.

Also a crash LANDING lololol, not a SO game without crash landing into a backwater planet. it's a series tradition at this point.
 
It sure looks sweet, I am really liking the character models even though they have that creepy doll look to them, running/walking animation is a bit odd though.

Looks great though :D, Feb can't come soon enough.

That would be very lame. It wouldn't be a Star Ocean game unless they make us agonize over which characters to recruit.

Game looks good, but damn the character design is all kind of wrong.

I actually like the most of the designs so far. Reimi is probably my favorite SO heroine, design wise, which is something because I like Rena & Milly a lot too. The only design I'm not too keen on is Faize.
 
Seven Characters is more then enough imo, less characters more character development ftw.

Edit: Maybe 8 so you can have to full partys.
 
Great news. March 3rd is prefect, they were smart with how they positioned the PSP remakes and SO4. Keeps the brand awareness high.
 
Few things I noticed. Seems there's an option to run really fast to cover long distances quickly. Judging by the gamekyo vid, the 'overworld' areas are really big this time. So this option is welcomed.

Battle footage looks super smooth, BONUS BORAD (hopefully this gets fix), the dude playing obviously doesn't know how to play the game that well (for obvious reasons). Graphics look amazing.
 
I guess this will have the same euro release date as Tales of vesperia, sometime by the end of 2009.

Barring the possibility of secret characters, 7 playable is just as much as Vesperia (and 6 more than IU!) so it's not too much of a contention.
