The PS3 release of ero-RPG Star Ocean 4 has opted to utilise some strange cartoon-like illustrations for its cover, a reversal of its previous decision to downplay such designs in favour of generic sci-fi starscapes and CG characters.

myuria-tionysus-by-ueyama-michiro.jpg

Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope International, the PS3 edition of Star Ocean 4, is apparently set to have additional characters in addition to the previously publicised enhancements, suggesting the Xbox 360 may have been a beta much as with Tales of Vesperia, a prospect sure to aggravate long suffering Xbox RPG fans.

meracle-chamlotte-star-ocean.png

The pool of Japanese Xbox 360 “exclusives” appears to be shrinking fast with the news that ero-RPG Star Ocean 4 is to come to the PS3, its exclusive status having apparently worn off in much the same way as with the imminent Tales of Vesperia.

Xbox 360 Doomed in Japan: Outsold by PS2

rrod-box-tan.jpg

The much heralded resurgence of the Xbox 360 in Japan appears to have been as fleetingly ephemeral as the life of a mayfly; the latest sales figures show it being outsold by the lowly and supposedly obsolescent PS2, and the PS3 is outselling it by a margin of nearly 5 to 1, also beating the Wii:

Star Ocean 4 Ecchi Scenes Compilation

so-iv-buruma.jpg

Star Ocean 4 seems to have been influenced by the producer’s unfulfilled desire to make a full on eroge, and appears to have the most erotic themes of any Japanese RPG in recent memory. The game in fact bears some striking similarities to moderately ero-themed anime…

The usual genre staples of shower peeking and similar are visible in the scenes collected below:

Star Ocean 4: English Version Dumps Anime for CG

sob1-thumb.jpg
sob2-thumb.jpg

It seems Japanese RPG publishers are convinced the western gamer will never have any truck with funny Chinese cartoons, for we hear that upcoming oppai RPG Star Ocean 4 will be stripping out plenty of its anime visuals in favour of Final Fantasy-esque computer graphics, which when combined with the completely English dub will help spare the American consumer the distaste of having to deal with anything too foreign.

star-ocean-4-eroge-3.jpg

As we heard, the producer of Star Ocean 4 harbours a desire to make a full eroge, but, alas, creative direction at Square is not liberal enough to allow him this chance. It doesn’t seem to have stopped him from trying though, as both in the latest trailer, and the previous, erotic and romantic elements abound:

Star Oppai: The Last Panchira “H Game” After All?

We heard of the producer of Square Enix’s latest RPG for the Xbox 360, Star Ocean: The Last Hope, wishing he had the opportunity to make an “ecchi game”,  but he was denied.

Or so he said; a quick look at some of the material  from the latest trailer reveals a game where considerable attention has been lavished on the movement of skirts and oppai…

2D vs 3D: Star Ocean 4 Can’t Decide

Star Ocean 4 Screenshots / スターオーシャン4画像

Moderately anticipated Xbox 360 “exclusive” SF RPG Star Ocean 4 has has some screenshots released which show off the game in some detail, though questions have been immediately asked about the wisdom of their character design and graphical style.

The style adopted seems to be a hodgepodge of Final Fantasy style CG and classical anime style visuals, and the results seem to be mixed.
