Star Ocean: 2D for Japan, 3D for the US

  1. Even Japan game developers know what appeals to their audience. Note the two screens below. Can you guess which country gets the anime faces and which get the 3D CG?

    I found this quote from the source article curious: "Why would Square Enix do this? Probably to make Star Ocean: The Last Hope look more sci-fi or something."

    Like the reason isn't obvious for Sankaku readers.

    Source: Siliconera

    More screens, just in case it isn't obvious:

    that goes without saying. if you cant appeal to your audience your not going to sell 2 games let alone 4.
