Star Ocean: The Divine Force Announced For 2022
Star Ocean, I used to love you. Your first few games enthralled me with your then-innovative active combat mechanics, extremely deep item creation system, and spellbinding worldbuilding and music score. Then you hit the same wall a lot of long-running JRPGs did when they crossed the polygonal barrier. Since the days of the Playstation 2, each mainline Star Ocean release has been worse than the one before it. The reviews for the last one, Integrity and Faithlessness, were so bad I returned my copy to the store after one day, without opening it.
