The PS4 port of Star Ocean 3 tops last week's PS4 sales on the Japanese PlayStation Store.
Games as an interactive medium regularly break the fourth wall. There are entire games built around coming to terms with such a change in awareness.
Star Ocean is one of those series that did, and still does, things that others don’t. Think of it as a JRPG for fans of series like Star Trek. The casts regularly involve people from more advanced civilizations getting involved with those who are still growing, even though there are various measures in place to allegedly stop that sort of interference. As a result, people get energy weapons, cyborgs, magic and people who can turn into cats. It is a lot to take in.
Let's see here. There was another classic JRPG series that started this SCI Fi. It was Phantasy Star by Sega. Before Star Ocean, there was Phantasy Star 1-4 on Sega consoles

you've been told that the universe (SO lore) is just a ------------------- and close the book
The first two were so great, among the top RPGs on 16 and 32-bit era. I wonder why it went downhill after that...
Play the PS1 game and then the PS2 game and then the rest probably aren't worth your time unless you're a superfan of the series. I think that's all you need to know.
Amazon has discounted the PlayStation 4 version of Star Ocean: Till The End of Time to $10.49.
How about releasing it here in the West, it'll get a purchase from me even though I have the original game. Still want it for my ps4.
I'll buy it never could find it back in the day
It's a real shame the last two Star Oceans didn't even remotely meet the expectations set by Second Story and Til the End of Time.
