Star Ocean 5 is in development for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, the latest issue of Famitsu reveals.

A release date is still unannounced, but the game is developed by tri-Ace and published by Square Enix.

Thanks, Hachima Kikou.

Update 6:08 a.m.: More details have leaked via Famitsu. The game’s full title is Star Ocean 5: Integrity and Faithlessness. It is set on the uncivilized planet of Feycreed, which is 6,000 light years away from Earth.

Currently revealed characters include:
•Fedel Camus (voiced by Kaito Ishikawa) – The protagonist. He specializes at fencing, and protects the order of his village.
•Miki Sorvesta (voiced by Nao Toyama) – The heroine. She is the protagonist’s childhood friend, and loves him like an older brother.
•Lilia (voice actor unknown) – A girl who lost both her memories and emotions.

The magazine also has screenshots of a blonde swordsman and blue-haired witch participating in battle.

Battles are seamless and in real-time. Depending on the distance between you and the enemy, the way you attack changes, and pushing buttons consecutively will trigger combos.

In addition to traditional event scenes, there will also be “seamless events” such as those where enemies attack you. If the enemy apprehends your allies during these events, there will be branching outcomes.

Here’s the game’s staff:
•Developer: tri-Ace
•Character Designer: Akira “Akiman” Yasuda
•Producer: Shuichi Kobayashi
•Director: Hiroshi Ogawa
•Lead Programmer: Yoshiharu Gotanda

Thanks, Hachima Kikou.

Update 7:15 a.m.: First scans and more details have come out of Famitsu. The magazine features an interview with producer Kobayashi, director Ogawa, and programmer Gotanda.

“[Having previously been in marketing] I decided to change positions and become a producer out of the belief that Star Ocean is worth staking my lie and legacy on,” Kobayashi said. “For Star Ocean 5, I wanted the game to overtly take cues from Star Ocean 3 and draw its essence from that game.”

So everyone who hated this series when it was released for 360 now loves it again?

Why the fuck doesn't anyone in Japan have an actual scanner?

Bebpo · « **Reply #8 on:** April 14, 2015, 12:53:36 PM »

Damn, I was excited until I saw those scans.

That doesn't look anything like the westernized, Mass Effect looking engine tech demo from years ago which looked awesome. Instead looks like generic animu

doll animu designs ewww

Aside from the lol-worthy character designs, it looks pretty good. I'll buy it for PS3 to continue my support for the best console ever.

demi · « **Reply #14 on:** April 14, 2015, 02:30:05 PM »

PS3 isnt getting up there at all but I feel it

suppadoopa · « **Reply #15 on:** April 14, 2015, 02:33:21 PM »

PS3 is also my favorite console from Sony.

It would be my favorite videogaming hardware of all time if it had a real Ace Combat game tho

Yulwei · « **Reply #16 on:** April 14, 2015, 02:33:31 PM »

haha oh man those character designs. I actually enjoyed SO3 but I am staying far away from this one until it is out and plenty of people have reviewed it. I have no faith in Tri-Ace making a decent game.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #17 on:** April 14, 2015, 02:39:57 PM »

tri-ace needs to be back DA GOAT character designs:

SpeedStats · « **Reply #18 on:** April 14, 2015, 03:03:56 PM »

Star Ocean games have fun systems to play around with, so whatever. I'm grabbing this.

I'm more surprised because:
1) They announced it and it's accompanied by evidence that they've been working on it for a while
2) Star Ocean isn't dead?

3) It doesn't look like the tech demo they did, so I assume they might be using that stuff for something else? Who knows.
4) They have the Power Stone / SF3:3rd Strike guy doing the character design? I was hoping it'd look like Power Stone.

Thats not the PS2.

SO is trash and this looks like complete garbage complete with SAO kitro stand in. At least it means Tri Ace is doing shit on consoles.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #21 on:** April 14, 2015, 04:34:52 PM »

Playstation Vita, doe

Rahxephon91 · « **Reply #22 on:** April 14, 2015, 04:38:21 PM »

Vita means shit.

Do we need a vote for your favorite zombie console poll?

I vote PSP. PSP still has games coming out for it somehow.

Rahxephon91 · « **Reply #26 on:** April 14, 2015, 05:35:31 PM »

The thing is PS3 and Vita really are zombies. Feeding off projects that could possibly be pS4 only but help mitigate the risk.

I think it's great honestly. It helps make the Playstation ecosystem look worthwhile and hopefully it means the PS4 versions will look super clean and run great. Stylized art styles already look great at this point.D

Amazing news... loved SO1 and 4, and 2 may be one of my favorite RPGs ever. Never thought I'd see this happen.

SO4 has the best story and cutscenes in the series, because it is hilariously awful while the others were merely tediously awful
