It doesn’t take long for things to end up going wrong as you enter hyperspace for the first time an object passes through the wormhole and forces your ship to make an emergency exit. You are also introduced to his childhood friend Reimi Saionji who of course is a girl, and starts off by nagging the young hero.
Upon meeting our hero young Edge Maverick (….yes that is really his name) we find him dodging the send off ceremony for the Calnus, the starship which acts as your transportation and hub on your journey. Square-Enix did a good job keeping this prequel in line with the games that have come before it (if only they could have helped George Lucas with Star Wars…sigh) especially since the PS2 game Till the End of Time was supposed to be the end of the series.

Not to mention the CGI movie that you watch during the history lesson is really impressive. (See what I did there?) The game does a great job of getting you up to speed, from telling you about World War 3, to the space station being built, to the tests of the warp engines. Of course the reason is war war never changes. Star Ocean: The Last Hope tells the story as to why we had to leave planet Earth and go out and search the great “star ocean” in the first place. Battles take place on a separate screen, but all characters (rather than waiting in one spot and taking damage) are fully mobile in three dimensions, can dodge and chase foes, and must cast their spells and deploy attacks despite enemy harassment. Star Ocean games are also known for their real-time battle engines. With names like Roddick Farrence, and Fayt Leingod I mean “action” must be their middle name.

The characters of the series were designed to be “action figure like”. The third was seen on the Gameboy Color and the fourth was seen on PS2. The Second Story, which is of course the sequel, was released in 1999 on the original PlayStation.
The first Star Ocean was released on the Super Famicom back in 1996, but has since been remade for the PSP with a new title Star Ocean: First Departure. So it comes as no surprise that Square wouldn’t release another fine JRPG in Star Ocean: The Last Hope.įirst a little history on the Star Ocean Saga, for those that don’t know this is not the first in this series of games, it is in fact a prequel. The Last Remnant and Infinite Undiscovery have both been released onto Microsoft’s console and met with limited success. This is the reason why as of late Square has been putting more money into other franchises and developing new ones. When you think of Square-Enix, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Well about 98% of people will say Final Fantasy the other 2% will say Dragon Quest. True to the series roots with some next-gen flavor.
