You know that dirty trick game companies sometimes pull where they put out a game, and then a few months later they announce some collector's edition or enhanced version with extra stuff you didn't get in the copy you bought at release date? Well, Square-Enix just announced that Star Ocean: The Last Hope will be getting that exact treatment, and I have a feeling that hardcore Star Ocean fans are going to grumble but buy it anyway.
Here's what you get with the Collector's Edition, which is for Xbox 360:
- Limited edition Star Ocean: The Last Hope Box: Unique 'digistack' packaging with dual gatefold, inside a special collector's sleeve.
- Star Ocean Soundtrack Compilation CD:
The Star Ocean Sound Best Collection showcases key themes from across the series specially chosen by the game creators and series fans. - Five Star Ocean: The Last Hope Character Cards: Collectable prints of lead characters from the game, using rare artwork not officially released in Europe and other PAL countries.
- Brady Games Official Miniguide: 32 page game guide printed in full-colour, with extra character artwork, descriptions and walkthrough information - to help you on your journey through the universe.
- Three Star Ocean: The Last Hope Game Discs
Expansive galactic adventuring goes across three game discs, accompanied by full-colour play manual.
This edition is due out on June 5th, but pricing details are not available yet. Hey Square, this is nifty, but couldn't you have released it, oh I dunno, when the game launched?

Who would play that piece of shit?
The game's main flaw is the crappy voice acting. The fighting system is very much like all the other Star Ocean games.
This is a horrible special edition though.
I'm so tired of Square. They disgust me almost as much as Activision.
If this is to tie with an EU release date, that makes a bit more sense, but remains unjustified for any extra money for the extras, IMO.
Since I didn't buy it the first time, I might be more inclined to get this, but SO4 is already cheap used, so I dunno...
Anyways, NinhonTiger90, I'm amused you thought about me right away LOL. Yeah, I'll be getting this because I'm a loser who likes CE and collecting, hence having 2 copies of ToV (regular and CE). But seriously, after the game has been released? Bad move.
Also June 5th is a Friday, I thought games were usually released on Tuesdays in the US.
voice acting/story- The story and the general character interaction are the worst I have played in any game. Maybe it's because im old but i remember enjoying star ocean: The second story as one of the best RPG's that i had ever played. I almost feel like the move to voice acting has taken away from my enjoyment of RPG's with the exception of lost odyssey. Well this rant has gone on long enough.
Damm you Tri-Ace( i hold my fists up to the sky and curse their name)
Oh well. Hopefully this will stir sales for SO4 across the pond.
Should've come out when the game came out. I already bought and finished it thanks.
u better buy it , kay?
even though that crappy voice acting is not replaced or we still don't put original voice acting , kay?
