^for sure, if you don't mind utter mediocrity and are more interested in getting your anime rpg-fix one way or another, 360 all the way.

it's not like the 360 doesn't have an awesome line up of western rpgs, sport game (nba 2k9 + top spin 3 ftw) and it's getting fighting games like street fighter 4, soul calibur 4 and that new versus game by capcom.

Latest screenshots. The game is looking pretty good:

This game looks amazing. The characters and the designs look beautiful (quite literally), and the graphics and atmospheres of the places also look mesmirising.

I do hope that Motoi Sakuraba will return and compose the soundtrack. His previous works, notably Eternal Sonata, were amazing.

Shadow Kira01 · 2008-10-03, 14:32

A good reason to like the Xbox 360. This game features awesome CG animation and the battle system seems to be very similar to SO3 too. As for the protagonist, he looks like Fate Linegod in his 2nd alternative outfit (SO3). The overall character designs look awesome!

That's pretty much a given, since he's done every other ST for tri-Ace outside of RS I believe. At least all the Star Ocean titles. Heck, you can even hear his trademark style in the music featured in the trailers. It has Sakuraba stamped all over it. His work in IU was pretty awesome as well. Can't wait.

Edit: I forgot, I think they(Sakuraba?) already leaked the battle music for the game.

If it really is from the game, then it's not his best, but it does grows on you. Probably will be better when you're actually playing.

DragoonKain3 · 2008-10-04, 14:47

Well, it ain't 'Stab! The Sword of Justice,' but I guess it does its job fine. It's not horrible to listen to.

Aaah Star Ocean. . .why did you have to betray me in Till the End of Time? All four copies of the game I received/borrowed utterly crapped out on me D:

But, MAN. These latest screens are making me want to pick it up. . .bah, it's getting hard which system for me to buy D:

As most people know through my posts in the moe threads, loli is one of my nae elements.

And as my title suggests, the childhood friend (which Reimi is) ranks at the absolute top of all the moe elements there are. ^_^

Not yet, although it's been said that it could be out for spring '09, with a "simultaneous" release in all regions, just as they did for Infinite Undiscovery. We'll surely get to know more about it in a few days, once the Tokyo Game Show kicks in.

DragoonKain3 · 2008-10-06, 11:08

You serious about the simultaneous release rumours? I always thought the JP version will get released first as usual, but I wouldn't be more happy if that rumour is true.

Kresnik · 2008-10-07, 00:34

I don't actually like the their doll-like character design. It creeps me out rather than come as cute.

DragoonKain3 · 2008-10-07, 01:02

I personally like it, if only because it sets it apart from the majority of character designs out there, let alone RPGs. It really does make SO4 stand out IMO, and it makes it standout in a good way.

Then again, I'm of the opinion that if anime is to be turned fully 3d (no, cell shaded don't count) with big goggly eyes and all, it won't look much different from SO4. Unlike other Squeenix games (like say FF13 or Last Remnant), it really doesn't try to show realistic character designs, nor it tries to be.

Astrana · 2008-10-07, 01:17

heard about the franchise, but never played it... this seems amazing, i will try it if i have time

Amray · 2008-10-08, 10:45

I would definitely recommend this series, 'tis a great RPG. The storylines are garunteed amazing on each game, the battle system is great, the music is beautiful, and they also have unique and very Japanese character and background designs.

I personally adored the third game, and I just hope that this one can also prove epic to RPG gaming. But I am quite positive that it will. I am an easy audience anyway.
