Square Enix did not want to say on which platform Star Ocean 4 will be released. Previously Famitsu revealed it would be released exclusively on Playstation 3 but Square Enix told on the Tokyo Games Show 2007 that it has not yet decided a specific platform for the game.
Though the shown trailer revealed it will most likely be Playstation 3 or Xbox 360, or maybe both.
There are eight playable characters in the latest installment of the Star Ocean series. All of them are very beneficial when upgraded right but which four makes the best team?
haha, me too! It made it alot easy for me to keep them all balanced like that, I tried the others but it just didnt seem right :)
that was my party too,
but god, that game was horrible, so is infinite.
Tri Ace only make shit
u troll, star ocean 1 and 2 are awesome, 3 and 4 were good, Valkyrie profile is AMAZING,as is Valkyrie profile 2 and resonance of fate was good. radiata was good and infinite wasn't that bad, Tri-ace is one of my fav developers.
just cause you didnt like doesnt mean it sux. I dont like gran turismo or madden does that mean they suck? nope
Just because you don't like tri-Ace, doesn't mean they make "sh1tty" games. There are a great lot of us who love them. The first game I played from them was the second Star Ocean game on PS1 and to this day I'm still in love with them. Star Ocean 4 International was fantastic.
On another note, my party was close to that, except Arumat. I used Sarah instead as an extra healer and was greatly successful.
I always controlled Reimi because I found her easiest. Not to mention her blindside was awesome!
If you actually cried for that stupid horrible acting, you have a problem, my friend.
SCRAWL: "PlayStation 3's Star Ocean: The Last Hope has been out and is probably being played by eager RPG fans who own the console right now. Although the core game remained the same as the Xbox 360 version released last year, the PlayStation 3 version has made some welcome improvements."
When you try to update continuously on the condition, and tired on the way a slovenly is.
Is the comparison of Star Ocean 4. PS3 version is an international version.
PS3 set to full range of HDMI, as for 360 image quality of HDMI is set to the maximum.
The PS3 version is a blurry mess

Seriously SE sucks. I miss Squaresoft. They didn't gimp games and sought to deliver the best.
Both versions are amongst the worst looking games on their respective platforms. The people who enjoyed this title on the 360 or were looking forward to the PS3 version likely don't care about the graphics anyways.
Ugh, that looks bad. No wonder they stopped trying to port Last Remnant over to the PS3, Square-Enix just sucks at it. FFXIII is pretty bad by JRPG standards as well but at least that's beautiful to look at.
lol from the same comparison

make ur own mind up
I saw the friggin' 1080p HD trailer on my PS3 and it looks nothing like this. These are gimped ass scans just to piss the fanboys. I don't know if the PS3 will turn out better in the end. But everything I have seen is far better than the 360 version. So this website can eat one.
Um yeah.. those Japanese website sure are known for favoring the Xbox 360, that's why the 360 version looks better./s
Dude seriously, its already out on the 360. For some time now.
And to everyone else, for what little its worth, the PS3 version is coming with extra content and extra characters. Even if someone can find fault nothing is going to change that.
I think the decrease in resolution would be enough to turn many away. If it was enough to turn many gamers from when the news broke out on N4G, it's would still be just as effective if not even more now.
Research before you comment.

Star Ocean 4 was released a year ago on the 360.
Anyways, it was an ok game on the 360. I really had a hard time listening to the voice/character who you spoke with when trying to create a new invention.
@Jack
All other things aside, I do notice the hair/eye color stand out on PS3 version but missing hair shadow on face that is shown on 360's. Looks almost identical, besides some strange blur on ps3 version on some of the pics.
But that won't stop the PS3s year old port from dwarfing the current sales of the 360 version. Playstation has the jrpg fanbase and hopefully the sales of this year old port will remind the developers of that so the PS3 gets to be the lead platform from here on out.
I saw the trailer off PSN and it definitely looks good enough to me. I've already pre-ordered and I'm sure many others have too.
Either way... the main character, Edge, still looks like he has no testicles. I'm still buying it though cuz i got addicted to Star Ocean. It's great that most dialogue will be voiced and they added an insane amount of content compared to last years version.
This is a lame port. They let it become blurry instead of using AA properly.
Jack's links show not much difference between the two games besides better lighting on the PS3 version. The 360 version seems a little too bright. Not really anything that really matters. But extra content is what does matter.
There is no difference in the lighting that I can see. The only noticeable difference I see is that the PS3 version sometimes looks more blurry.
hey N4PS3G 480x270 pictures RULES!!! low res pictures are awesome for high res games comparissons.
This was pretty much what i expected when i found out that there are no plans to improve on the sub-HD resolutions.
No one can deny the fact that the International version is the superior version though.
-no need to keep swapping disc when changing location
-Jap VO option ftw, the english dub is god awful
-improved gameplay e.g.targeting control
Um...about the comparisons...
Isn't it true that the Xbox 360 version of the game had 3d rendered character portaits not the traditional 2D anime? I was led to believe that the 2d anime portaits were exclusive to the PS3 international version.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
The japanese version had 2D avatars. The 3D avatars were a design decision for the western market.

After viewing some of these shots i see that some are showing more than just a difference in resolution.
those ps3 shots are FAKE so stop showing them. They are 360 shots photoshopped. Either way you can bet the PS3 version won't be plagued with the same problems the 360 version has like the slowdowns.
I think I will wait for a IGN review before jumping to conclusions about the game comparisons. There are too many websites out there that don't give credible info.
Is this a Tri-Ace job? or internal SE? I wonder because Tri-Ace is developing Resonance of Fate.

Especially since it's all one 1 disc, you'll be able to avoid the crappy English voice acting by using Japanese voices (too bad you can do this on that flopped FF13 game), on top of numerous other improvements.
It's so better it looks worse :D
The awesomeness is mind blowing!
It's shaping to be phenomenal by looking at the scores it's definitely the improvement gamers have been waiting in this vasty superior looking and rated version

i can honestly say that the ps3 version looks more blurry, SE what a cr@ppy port,
The PS3 version does look alot blurrier, but the PS3 version lighting is far superior. The rain forest comparison shows how much better it is in that respect... both sharpness for 360 and realistic lighting for PS3
yes, it seems the guys who confirmed the resolution for the 360 version has just now confirmed the resolution of the ps3 version.
http://forum.beyond3d.com/s...
(non battle mode)
the ps3 version runs at 1024x720p = 737,280 pixels
360's version is 1248x704p = 878,592 pixels
ps3 is 141,312 pixels less.
@ below
....and your sources are?
starocean was 520p on 360 it was on of the lowest resolution games on the 360, it is upcscaled to 720p.
Both the versions are native 520p and upscaled, get your facts right.
EDIT :
Everyone knows that, it even says in the link you provided, 512 vertical lines blown up to 720p check this out as well
http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/...
Apparently him and the kids in here creaming themselves over these pics are completely ignorant of this bit:
"PS3 set to full range of HDMI, as for 360 image quality of HDMI is set to the maximum."
Meaning the PS3 will go to 720p as all resolutions are checked and 1080p is not being forced, like it is on the 360.
The game in it's native resolution on each respective console runs at a higher resolution on the PS3.
@ 3.1 .....you're pointing out battle mode.
"Both the versions are native 520p"
for a moment i thought it was 1080p, i guess people have now expected less of this game.
@ 3.2 - "Apparently him and the kids in here creaming themselves over these pics"
don't play innocent, people were creaming them selves over this.

lolz, hmmmm i wonder what am i going to do with this now?
http://i32.tinypic.com/20ua...
lolz, it should be known 360 to ps3 ports suck, and the best bet for a developer in that situation is to just add more useless content to make it look like a steel.
Star Ocean was never about graphics, story, plot progression, memorable characters but the combat. I played SO1 and SO2 and all i wanted to do is kill enemies, get a lot of money for armor and weapons and healing items, and kill bosses.
@MGSR THE HD VERSION do you ever get tired of being a fanboy and making this crap up? enjoy your bubbles while they last as you will need a new account soon enough.
@ MGSR THE HD VERSION
You are linking to a forum member as proof?
LMFAO! XD!
GTFO
It was considerably less graphics on the PS3 version from a technical standpoint, but it looked better than the 360 version because of the PS3's hardware.
Besides, I'm kinda skeptical about this site: I just heard of it, (I think it's a website, but I thought it was a site provider, so what's up with that?) and the translator is broken now, so I can't see the site.
After such a long time, you would expect the later version to be better. But its worse....
Failure.
I'll wait until I finish WKC, not matter how bad it is, before I get this game. Thank you very much.
hmm, famitsu also said DMC ps3 exlusive....So really its all up to Square-Enix they decide. DMC not ps3 exlus coz they know its crap, they know no one will buy it so they will make it on 360 as well
lol, X360 is dead in japan, Star ocean 4 as well as Persona 4 are useless on X360.
i remember i while back reading square enix is goin multi so it could be for both, i think ffviii will be there last exclusive game.
Previously Famitsu revealed it would be released exclusively on Playstation 3 but Square Enix told on the Tokyo Games Show 2007 that it has not yet decided a specific platform for the game.
when u try and post fake crap atleast form correct sentences
Its not fake check www.gamefront.de and translate this from German into English:
Star Ocean 4: Weiterhin keine Plattformangabe
21.09.07 - Square Enix hat sich auf der Tokyo Game Show weiterhin nicht dazu geäußert, auf welcher Hardware das Rollenspiel Star Ocean 4 erscheinen wird. Aufgrund eines gezeigten Trailers kommen derzeit aber nur PS3 und Xbox 360 in Betracht. Release: TBA (Japan)
