Dopo il sito teaser, è Famitsu ad ufficializzare definitivamente l'arrivo del quinto Star Ocean, in multi PS3 e PS4, sviluppato da tri-Ace e prodotto da SquareEnix
questo è lo staff
- Developer: tri-Ace
- Character Designer: Akira “Akiman” Yasuda
- Producer: Shuichi Kobayashi
- Director: Hiroshi Ogawa
- Lead Programmer: Yoshiharu Gotanda
L'a storia è ambientata su un pianeta sottosviluppato di nome Feycreed, lontano 6000 anni luce dalla Terra.
I personaggi rivelati sono:
- Fedel Camus (voiced by Kaito Ishikawa) – The protagonist. He specializes at fencing, and protects the order of his village.
- Miki Sorvesta (voiced by Nao Toyama) – The heroine. She is the protagonist’s childhood friend, and loves him like an older brother.
- Lilia (voice actor unknown) – A girl who lost both her memories and emotions
Le battaglie sono seamless, quindi non si viene più trasportati nelle classiche arene per gli scontri come in passato.
Il gioco è stato creato su base PS3, quindi quella PS4 è un porting, e stando al producer non sono in programma DLC o versioni future con nuovi contenuti.
Per ora è al 30% di completamento.
c'è anche una intervista a Kobayashi (producer) , director Ogawa (director) e Gotanda (programmer)
Subtitle
Gotanda: “There are multiple meanings behind the subtitle for this game. It’ll make sense by the end once you play the game, I think.”
Kobayashi: “Star Ocean 5 is about bringing a sense of reassurance back to longtime fans, which is why the game’s logo is reminiscent of Star Ocean 3‘s.”
Battles
Ogawa: “Basic battles are the same as previous entries, where the player controlled character takes on the enemy in one-on-one battles. On the other hand, boss battles see the whole party squaring off against bosses, which lends those fights a different feel that players can enjoy.”
The Future of the Series
Kobayashi: “I’d like to be able to keep putting these games out. By the end, when it’s all finished, we hope we have a game that draws in series fans and new players alike.”
