OXM: Star Ocean 4 is PS3 exclusive

The Official Xbox Magazine, or OXM, has posted an exclusive interview with Infinite Undiscovery director, Hiroshi Ogawa. At the end of the interview, Ogawa was asked what tri-Ace game is his favorite:

"Us: Infinite Undiscovery aside – what tri-Ace game is your favorite? What RPGs, outside of tri-Ace's, did you really like?

Ogawa: Star Ocean 4 [tri-Ace's upcoming PS3 RPG] is my number one recommendation (laughs)."

Does OXM's editor know something we don't? I'd say wait before you start the party, consider this as a rumor until you hear otherwise from Square Enix.

Finally PS3 catches a break on the JRPG front.

Yea it seems to be just a rumor. It could end up being multiplatform but Sony needs some good JRPG's multiplatform or not to get things moving in JP

So far it's just a rumor, one of the OXM editors posted on Neogaf and said they actually have no clue and are completely guessing.

Ariexv, Im not surprised that you got banned (even if temporarily) from Neogaf considering the way youre spinning.

Is it that hard for you to accept that games are coming for the PS3 aswell?

It was kinda obvious from the start that you have a really high preferences for Wii and the 360 not giving anything "else" the thought of interest.

@Sonarus

Well at least He could've bothered telling the truth, this is what the Eidtor said about the article on Neogaf:

(In all seriousness, why did you guys print that Ryan?)

"We didn't. The Ogawa interview was a web-only complement to the print article.

But seriously, why wouldn't we? Should we pretend like the other consoles don't exist? We play games on every system! :)"

After that he got jumped on by questions about a confirmation, but so far he's been mute. As you can see he did not say "HE DOESNT KNOW" which platform its coming for.

AriexV is a new member or "was" a new member at Neogaf, I dont know how his account has been suspended for. But, the guy has been riding hard on negativity towards Sony. Last time there was an article about Star Ocean 4 here, he threw a comment about it coming to 360 with high certainty, which suggests that he has a some resent to the PS3. He's also been sporting a Mass Effect avatar so Im not really surprised why the guy "denies" the chances of a PS3 only game.

Regardless, I find this news intriguing.

Why wouldn't it? The only reason Microsoft locked up the benign Blue Dragon and somewhat more exciting Lost Odyssey is because Mystwalker studios (teh dev) has some former Square-Enix members and a sort of rival of theirs now.

High end JRPGs, from respected developers, really have no where to go except PS3. The xbox will never permeate Japanese gaming culture like Sony or Nintendo. This is just the beginning for the JRPG on the PS3.

Star Ocean 4, Final Fantasy XIII, Kingdom Hearts 3(yea its a jrpg), Valkyria Chronicles, Atlus' new Shin Megami Tensei game

Although it does seem likely that this game will be a PS3 exclusive, should we not have a '?' in the title for this news piece until it is confirmed?

Square Enix said a few months ago that they will focus support on Sony and Nintendo platforms only.

It will sell like hotcakes on the PS3 and will sell like poo on the 360. It's just a history lesson for those that would even want this title on the 360. JRPG's don't sell on the 360 and on the PS3 they flourish.

I don't think this would appeal to the XBOX crowd anyways. All of their titles are testosterone driven. They do have some rpgs, but its almost like they are afraid to make a game that might require some cognitive skills.

I think this would be a pretty big exclusive if true, Star Ocean games for the most part have always been good.

14 - why would they limit what the game looks like by putting it multiplat?
they wouldnt, havent they learned from GTA 4, i mean ofcourse GTA 4 looks good, but theres so much more that could be done, thats why Metal Gear and ff 13 and versus are exclusive. be smart square keep it ps3 exclusive.
