Square-Enix released this new Japanese trailer of Star Ocean: The Last Hope. The video quality isn't very good, but it's still a nice watch. Update: Better quality version online.
Man that video was just a long video of star ocean 4 porn :) ( yes not litterly :P ) gah I sooo cannot wait for this game :) I cannot wait at all, by the way did I mention I cannot wait ^^ ?
the JRPG I had most fun with is after all SO2 and SO3 ^^ I bet this won't let me down either ^^.
After spending 40 hours in Persona 4 thus far, I'm not finding this game as exciting as I once did--or any upcoming RPG for that matter. But it does look nice.
OMG! the closups on characters remind me of an anime style Thunderbirds...The way they don't change expressions...it sure is a style choice but it gives me shivers like Thunderbirds did.

I don't really have time for RPGs (although I bought Mass Effect and Fable 2, I haven't finished them yet though) but I think I might buy this as it just looks so awesome!!! :D

Erm, there already is an anime Thunderbirds, lol! It's called Thunderbirds 2086. (It's a 2D show not CGI though, it was made in the 80s.)
70 days, ive started my countdown. This is easily my most anticipated game of this generation. And while the trailers have been sporadic in quality, ivecomplete faith the game will be amazing given the previous 3 and the remakes.
Edge Maverick! thats either the best character name in gaming history, or the worse.. i cant decide. Either way you can pretty much assume he'll be limp wristed.
Such a shame its a JRPG..and will keep the tired old combat mechanics and random encounters of that.

Star Ocean is an Action RPG, it also does not have random encounters at all. It's pretty unique in the style it runs to as well, so it's defectively not your common JRPG.

As if Oblivion, fallout 3, and any other western rpg isnt using the same old boring action only shooter style mechanics weve been seeing since the 80s. Things havnt changed in ages, there are just differant styles. I prefer my games turn based(although as someone mentioned SO games are action rpgs) If anything, we need more classic jrpgs and less classic wrpgs in the world today, seeing as how the wrpg is much closer to a genre that is way too overcrowded, that being FPS.

I'll never understand why Japanese devs insist on putting chicks with cat ears and dressed-up-little-10-year-old-girls in their games.
Nor will I, I live here in tokyo and see the stuff daily, its creepy.

The lighting looks insanely good IMO and the engine, although rough in places, holds out very well indeed.
I think so too, which is another reason I think it will come out fine in the end. I dont like the techno world though, it looks way to pixelated to me.

I have to agree about the Thunderbirds thing. The animations look terrible (like most other games in this generation) and especially the mouths move like they are made of wood. Don't tell me it's a 'design choice' since it's simply lazyness of the developers.
