Star Ocean: The Last Hope is the fourth game in the Star Ocean series, and this time around Tri-Ace is pulling the series back to a period before the existing games, in the aftermath of World War 3. Earth has been reduced to a nuclear wasteland and humanity is drawn together in search of a new planet to colonise. It has been 10 years since the first successful warp jump and a fleet of scouting ships are reaching the final stages of preparation before their journey to find suitable colonization spots.

With only a handful of titles out there, of which many are terrible, it's almost enough to lose hope in the genre completely. Fortunately, Star Ocean: The Last Hope International Edition has arrived to fill the void."

Luckily we knew this cold period positively to close when the Soviet Union fell. Yet there is a question that many people their main plays: what if something happened? Here picks Star Ocean: The Last Hope in. We are not in the past, but just in the future! The world suffers from a war that more harm than good. Eventually they make peace, because the earth is almost completely destroyed. The only hope for humanity, the infinity of space!"
