Would be great if they made also some kind of remaster/collection for SO1-3.
Oh thats good.

Xbox One is all but dead in Japan. No point, IMO, in releasing hardcore jRPGs on it. Hell, it makes more business sense to release them on PS3 even.
They wouldn't have used it for this even if there was no PS3 version.
Lol @ "holding them back", like tri-Ace is still some amazing trailblazer in technology. I think we should be more worried about the fact that they haven't made a console game in 5 years, have zero current-gen experience, and their last "big" game was a Vita title which looked pretty underwhelming. Let's not forget how "amazing" the tech was in Infinite Undiscovery and Star Ocean 4 when they first jumped on the Xbox 360. Took them years to put out a console game which ran well with RoF, and that was 30fps.

This was the surprise RPG then?
Haven't really gotten into the series (III was a bit eh in story), but it's good to know it's happening. With Tri-Ace no less. And on console. Fingers crossed PS3 does not hold them back. Or just go celshaded (Tales?). The 3D anime thing they did in III was also unattractive (just like Xenosaga, sorry!)

this sounds.......actually really good.
I don't see why he wouldn't. About time we got another console Sakuraba soundtrack for tri-Ace.
why? because it would kill FFXV's momentum? I don't think this will release before FFXV.

RyougaSaotome is saying on Twitter that the designs for SO5 will be from Akira Yasuda, who designed for classic SF games and stuff like Turn A Gundam characters.

Loved 3 despite its flaws, hated 4. Hopefully this will have less garbage characters.
Very interesting, ppl were complaining about Sony dragging their butt in the region but it looks like they have been doing work.
You seriously expect them to blow the kind of money they are spending with FFXV on a Star Ocean game?
tri-Ace don't need other companies engines, they just need development time and resources.

That sounds like tri-Ace alright.
Ugh, no. But I'm pretty sure he will.
They did make a tech demo.
Seems par for the course for the company that brought us the likes of Fate Linegod and Edge Maverick.
I wonder what xtreme name they're going to give the MC this time.

Kinda stunned by the news, I guess that's my present. As for the cross-gen, wasn't SO4 combat engine sub-sub HD?
SCEJ strikes again. I keep pressing F but nothing is happening!!

Nice. Hopefully it gets localized. 
also, if the FF0 sales gap is any indication, there hardly is an audience for these games on xbox
Is that meta commentary?
Yeah. Well the future is promising for fans of Japanese console games at least. Will they sell well? Who knows.

It's more or less sci-fi Tales of. Action-oriented battle system, anime tropes, etc.

The WiiU & PS4 wombo combo is doing wonders for my jrpg fetish.
Lets just hope the game is atleast good.

Glad to see it wasnt either of those mobile games.
Though I just pray to god they do not go with that horrible art direction they had done with the previous Star Ocean.
Let alone trying to do a Japan vs Western type of changes to the character portraits.
The ps3 international edition had the option to change thr portraits which was a nice edition.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Most def can see that, esp with how the West reacts to anything related to the PS3 at this point in time...

Yes please.
Yeah according to the Famitsu leaks, Akiman is doing the character designs. That's pretty interesting. The battle system is a seamless real time battle system, you mash buttons to do combos, and the attacks you do are based on how far you are from an enemy. Apparently it's quite a substantial feature, showing the main characters, combat, event scenes, etc.

You should had trolled everyone with "Yasuda" and made a group of people scared that we're getting Suzuhito.

So long as it's more like 2 and 3...well just be more like 2, I'll be happy.

Oh wow that is pretty cool.
Tech wise? Sounds good.
Yeah but XV and T0 releasing for XBO too, i thought that would be SE approach for the whole gen.
