As Square Enix promised at Tokyo Game Show in September, Star Ocean: Second Evolution is coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita in the near future -- sometime this month in Japan. Based on the PSP remake of the PS1 original, this vers...
Back when Square Enix revealed Star Ocean 5, I recall a few Destructoid editors debating whether the green-haired gal's checkered outfit was half skin-toned or, you know, it was just actual skin. It seems we weren't the only ones wondering ...
There comes a point in every console's life cycle where we all collectively decide the party is over. Some people start filing out around midnight. Others will disappear later on. Eventually it's just one guy trying to keep the night alive,...
Back when word broke regarding Tri-Ace's acquisition at the hands of mobile group Nepro Japan, the early speculation was the studio's days making games for consoles were over. Then, just a couple months later, Square Enix announced a&n...
