If it is Star Ocean, hope they also improve the gameplay. I love this series, but Star Ocean 4 was somewhat a disapointment.
@manwithnoname I have to disagree with you, besides the terrible voice acting on the 360 version (thank god for japanese audio on the ps3 version) the battle system was tight and engaging. Just some more improvements and it will be one hell of an jrpg.
I agree with SayWord. There are limitations to the combat, but I believe that they were included on purpose. The star ocean games probably use my second favorite RPG battle system (first is Valkyrie Profile, third is tales games).
if they can pull this off this would be a monumental achievment. this could help cut down on the amount of texture maps needed to make a model look "good". they would only need the diffuse and normal maps, the engine lighting would do the rest. this would also give UE3 and Crytek a run for their money.
and to all you guys bitching about voice acting. you all sound like a bunch of fucking weaboos. zomg the japanese is so much better, well to you maby. to me, why i do enjoy j-voice acting from time to time i thought the japanese voices in SO sounded like shit. the best japanese voice acting this gen imho is Lost Odyssey.

Honestly, SO4 killed the series for me. That was the most irritating cast of cloying JRPG stereotypes ever.
It's been so long since I played a Star Ocean game, gave up on Star Ocean 3 in the end after the horrible-as-fuck voice acting got to me but let's hope Tri-ace/Square-Enix can actually find some talent to voice their next game!
looks really generic.
enough with this boring realistic crap
star ocean needs to go back to the anime style that made it good in the first place

"Well to you, Maby!" is my new greeting for strangers in complex social situations.
What "Star Ocean" needs to fix is getting back to the stars instead of crash landing on planets and using tin swords to chop up crabs. Sometime more like "Skies of Arcadia" in space, with laser guns. (And, cutting off at the pass, "Rogue Galaxy" was distinctly meh for its limited, repeated areas and the feeling of being constantly boxed in, despite the promise of, oh, a galaxy.)

MS should snatch those guys and let them make another Infinite Undiscovery or Lost Odyssey - those were, and still are the best jrpgs on consoles this gen. Resonance of Fate 2 would be also nice.
I'd disagree with the criticism of SO4 battle system, which I thought was fairly representative of the series.
I super-mega-ultra agree with criticism of SO4's story, writing, and voice acting (neither language is that hot). SO4's writing makes it hard to get through the game if you're older than 15, and I say that as a fellow who's used to overlooking and/or ignoring JRPG staple angsty tween writing.
Fun gameplay, terrible writing.

Call me crazy, but I just finished Resonance of Fate yesterday and I'd love to see another one, like a prequel or a side-story. I have no interest in Star Ocean though. I've heard too many bad things about the last one.
Tri-Ace really needs a solid writing team behind them if these narrative faults keep popping up in all their games.

Looks pretty good to me. I can only hope. That is definitely Star Ocean music in the background though.
KingSoup: In all seriousness, if you played through all of "Lost Odyssey," how? When I got to the fight with the bird boss at the top of the mountain, right near the beginning of the game, and kept dying due to random bullshit super attacks, I simply stopped because it was too unbelievable. I'm in control of a guy who walked away from having a meteor dropped on top of him, yet some bird monster kills him? Horse shit.
So how did you reconcile the nonsense long enough to get through the game?

@Darckcloud723,
actually Lost Odyssey was made by Feelplus. Mistwalker was overlooking development of the game(so basically the gave Feelplus designs, ideas, completed story and Feelplus build the game). Feelplus also did parts of Infinite Undiscovery and Star Ocean 4.
as for SO4 writing i think it was done by Square Enix - it was simillar bullshit to Final Fantasy 13 and their other games afterall.

SO4 battle system was cool, with some limitations. Just the characters and story that pissed me off. One cliche after another. I was laughing most of the time because of how bad the story actually was, instead of giving some praise.
From Tri-Ace I would like to see something related to Resonance of Fate. I think that series still has a lot of potencial for awesome story and battle system.

i want a Valkyria Profile 3 with this engine but different colour pallete.
that would blow my mind if they made it very angelic-like feel O_O

resonance of fate was one of the most boring games i have ever played
and SO4 was just fucking awful. i got to the first boss and you can only damage it from one side and you get a literal retard mage in your party who just runs at enemies ineffectually. great battle system.
also whoever suggested that anime is the right way to go with anything should probably euthanize himself

Eh, I adore SO3 but hate SO4 with a passion, biggest disappointment in gaming ever, as well as the most wasted time waiting for a game to get not terrible ever.
Frankly, I loved SO4--probably my favorite game on my XBOX, if only because story-wise they essentially made it reference every game in the series, and I've pretty much loved every SO game. If they make an SO5, I'd certainly be interested to see where they take the story, as I thought SO4 pretty much put a bow on top of the other 3 games.
But frankly, I've never played a Tri Ace game I didn't like, so they could probably do a 16-bit game and I'd probably buy it--but this looks great!
