If it was on PC I'd try it.
Though these characters are big turn off. Teenagers saving galaxy again? Mobs also look pretty bad. Screaming "generic jrpg".
If there're mech's in anime, or if protagonist is teenage shy boy surrounded by hot girls that all have a crush on him - i keep my distance. And this looks like a similar kind of thing, though it's and RPG in the space which trumps it and gets it a tryout at least.

This game looks awesome!
But what is with all the 360 exclusive RPG's? I bought a PS3 because I thought it sas going to be this gen's RPG console.
Oh, well, I have a 360 anyway.

Looks meh to me. I don't know what's wrong with this generation's JRPGs. They are either look too generic or too weird (persona). I haven't enjoyed any since FF 12.
Holy crap.
I'm gonna have to go pop Second Star Story in and play it now. I invested a ridiculous amount of time in that game and loved every second of it. Definitely excited for this!! Is there any word on when the US release date is?

The way the characters look and move seemed very puppet-like to me...I'm all for stylized presentations, but the look of the characters here took me out of the setting - it's like those old shows they used to show early in the morning on the Sc-Fi Channel.
I love the Star Ocean series; this game looks like it will not be an exception.
And for the record, if it came out on the PS3 too, I'd still buy it for the 360 (and I own both consoles.)

So you work in a frat house?
I loved SO:till the end of time. I hold out hope that this one has just a good a story as till the end of time; But the character models are ridiculous looking. Whats up with those creepy doll faces?

Apart from the crappy motion capture that makes them all look like puppets, I'd hit it (I can also mute the vocies when cat-girls attempt to rape my inner ear). :3 As long as it plays out just fractionally better then the last Tri-Ace endeavor *cough* Infinte Undiscovery *cough* I will play it.
After the rape of a story from the last game, I'm a little weary. But I'll play it anyway.
I did enjoy Til The End Of Time, but if its one big series wouldn't it end with that?

I'm with you Dale! Game is looking excellent, I love me some epic SciFi RPG action. I picked up Infinite Undiscovery on the cheap, and I liked it, so sue me JRPG haters. Go back to your endless, mindless, trigger-pulling gore fests.
This looks really, really mediocre.
I also really don't get the art direction here. It's not remotely distinctive, and the few unique things about it scream "juvenile".
It still might be descent who knows...

I've been out of the RPG loop for a while, aside from rekindling an old flame with Chrono Trigger DS, but I am so going to pick this up. I'm so hyped for this game that I thought about picking up Star Ocean's 1 & 2 for the PSP along with Star Ocean 3, since the semester will be over I have some time to play.
Chester, I hear ya... I hear ya

I want to play this, trust me... but let's be serious here, I've never laughed harder at a RPG trailer in my entire life. Edge Maverick set me over the, well, edge.
When they talk, they look like terrifying dolls. Their mouths move with the rest of their face staying still... great graphics but the animation needs to catch up.
I hope it's better than the third one. The first two are two of my favorite games, but that third one did something wrong. Not sure what though.
If they look like puppets, they must have been made by whoever was responsible for this guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNtGYdm2rOY
Serious uncanny valley stuff there. It's definitely the mouths, but like all uncanny valley issues I feel like there's something more I just can't quite put my finger on.
What's strange to me is that I usually don't find anime-styled character models to be so unnerving. They're usually far enough back on the curve towards abstractness that it's not creepy.
Also, hang in there, Dale! RPGs are the class of the video game world. Unfortunately I can't offer much more than moral support, because I just don't have the time to finish very many of them :(.

I've had 20 bucks down on a copy since mid November already. Cannot wait.
Also, I feel your pain. It bothers me to no end how I always have to defend RPGs as a genre anymore, and therein defend myself as a traditional JRPG fan.

Anyway, I have to get my hands on the first game for the PSP... (looks at unfinished games...)

Why are their heads shaking all the time? Very Thunderbird/Team America-ish-y. And do the Japanese realize these names are utterly utterly retarded? Please tell me they do.
Loved Star Ocean 3 to death. Impressions here:
The character modeling is hideous and makes me want to vomit. Seriously need better facial models or I'm not going be able to play this due to being creeped out every time I see someone talk.
The combat, however, looks Crazy Good. Crazy crazy good even. *drool*

Looks pretty sweet. Hopefully I will find time for it. My backlog of games is growing to extreme heights these days.
I'm keeping a close eye on this one. Apparently, it's actually going to be sci-fi this time.
And hopefully, it won' be as terrible as SO3. Taht game was just awful.
