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:
Can we hope for a mature RPG in future? Certainly, it is hard to see how these elements will be anything but well received.
How Star Ocean series have fallen so low..
Even the dirty jokes only qualified for B-Grades eroge.
Well, X-Box can keep this title (shame) for themselves.
Well I'm currently playing the game and I'm dreading hearing some of these scenes in English. The problem with the North American version is that well half of the characters voices are just ok the other half are horrible, yea I'm looking at you Lymle. Thankfully there is Youtube to see how the game should have been.
It's actually usually the dialogue's fault.. I've noticed that some of these VAs actually seem to be TRYING but the mangled script seem to throw them off.
I'm not sure who writes the script for game dubbing, but all of them should be fired.
Some of you complain way too much about what this game lacks or is needing to have fixed instead of enjoying what you have. Sure, I'll admit I hate certain things about it but I don't complain about it like a fool..... Except when I saw Tamiel, that guy should not be a boss in here. HE HAS A PORN STAR MOUSTACHE!
oh god, this looks like the same old, typical, cliched ecchi style that anime like Love Hina used. A girl going bat shit and beating a guy for being "ecchi" or "hentai" because he accidentally say her naked when it was totally her fault? Hwa Hwa, I'm laughing my ass off, that never gets old. :|
Love Hina was full of bitches. After anime like that I can't believe anyone could call Queen's Blade the worst.
That's not even all of them! There's a scene with Sarah and Reimi, another featuring Meracle and a jealous Reimi, another where Lymle wants to sleep with Edge...
It really helps that they pronounce his name 'Ecchi'.
WAAH im still sooo pissd about that game, i really want to play it but i dont think i can endure that "quality" voices like this for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25IMey_q1-M
"..radiant lancer..", well at least its a voice actress thats at a pokemon level lmao.
Yeah i've always preferred subs too but the other voices didn't sound completely horrible. Maybe we should just have a petition to game companies localizing these imported jrpgs to include the original voice actors. i'm sure its alot of business and politics so its not as easy as i think it is
Scene 5: That purple-haired girl claims to have dug up archives of what people on Earth used to like. She must have dug up the "forbidden" archives. lol I wonder if centuries from now, people will no longer get "moe" on the things that get us "moe"? ;)
they're not exactly ecchi, really. And I know as soon as they released the trailers that they were going to use that Edge-Ecchi thing, so it was a bit of a drag there, too.
hmmm mabye they reject them in past of some eroge game (dis plot >_>") they think what the hell game is good before lets now the PLOT of that game in they cant reject any becaurse a good game XD

I have never hated the 360 people as much as I have now...
YOU ^*#$ BASTARDS D:
Dude: "I've come to rescue you! Thank goodness you're sa....Wait! You're not wearing clothes!"
Girl: "PERVERT!" *bitch slap* How dare you not know I wasn't wearing any clothes when you were coming to rescue me! It's not like I KNEW!"
Haha, love the "pretending to be a cat" scene.
I need my 2D pictures in the ENGLISH VERSION!!! Hoping that they didn't edited some scene in the English versions, Oh well can't win them all...
This game keeps looking better and better. I'm really liking the protagonists ecchi-ness. I lol'd at the shower scene.
Reminds me of the DOA Volleyball nude patch.

Tch its alot better than Star Ocean 2 on the PSX, that was full of fail
A lot of English dubs, especially for games, are really really good these days.
Tales of Vesperia and Persona 4 come to mind...
Yea I also played ToV and Lost Odyssey and the English dubs were good which makes it even more disappointing SO4 couldn't do the same.
The animations are some of the worst I've seen.
Full motion capture with no facial expressions. Am I the only one who thinks it looks horrible?
Yea there faces are those of dolls.
I agree, it's total shit, much like Fable 2's running animation.
I can't believe this actually got released.
I'm not normally one to be a graphics whore, but honestly, this looks like pure shit.
Im getting more and more aroused in acquiring this product. Since I got a 360 it should't be a problem.
Once again, i hope thease scenes remain in the english version.
Dub's not terrible for the English version..
My main gripe with this game is that... the character models' eyes... DO NOT MOVE.
It's like their eyes are DEAD.
Terrible, horrible, awful or whatever you want to use the English dub is still bad but the dialogue is also partly to blame.
It's actually usually the dialogue's fault.. I've noticed that some of these VAs actually seem to be TRYING but the mangled script seem to throw them off.
I'm not sure who writes the script for game dubbing, but all of them should be fired.
Completely agree. The VA's seemed to try hard enough with horrible scripting.
I'll gladly overlook it with my 110% bonus board experience bonus, though.
LOL. The director can't resist XDDD

FFFFF----
I raged with the reaction of the main character in the imouto scene XD
This would be good, if the girls didn't all look like lifeless 12 year old dolls with breasts.
Wait... what?
oh god, this looks like the same old, typical, cliched ecchi style that anime like Love Hina used. A girl going bat shit and beating a guy for being "ecchi" or "hentai" because he accidentally say her naked when it was totally her fault? Hwa Hwa, I'm laughing my ass off, that never gets old. :|

this pleases anon
this is full of win... can't wait for the PS3 ver.
In person he is sober and humane, but in his posts he likes to provoke. ,
"EDJII NO--ECCHI!" - Reimi
EPIC! XD
God I hate those bitchy heroines who make a fuss like there would be no tomorrow when exposed to an embarassing situation... :-/
Give me back my Rena !!
lol i love the megane imouto Onii-chan daisukiiiiii. and the perverted cat was hilarious as well go kill that cat. well they are curious :)
LOLZ! If I don't get a JP Audio when I buy this game I'm gonna go on a rampage....
That's not even all of them! There's a scene with Sarah and Reimi, another featuring Meracle and a jealous Reimi, another where Lymle wants to sleep with Edge...
It really helps that they pronounce his name 'Ecchi'.
I dunno I think Ar Tonelico also has more erotic themes. But still, lol I'll try the cat escape whenever I get caught.
That game and Ar Tonelico 2 have SO MANY god damn sexual references it hurts XD
lol and im actually playing ar tonelico 2 and i guess i can agree with you there but what is there to hate about it :D
WAAH im still sooo pissd about that game, i really want to play it but i dont think i can endure that "quality" voices like this for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25IMey_q1-M
you WILL know what voice im talking about
"..radiant lancer..", well at least its a voice actress thats at a pokemon level lmao.
Yeah i've always preferred subs too but the other voices didn't sound completely horrible. Maybe we should just have a petition to game companies localizing these imported jrpgs to include the original voice actors. i'm sure its alot of business and politics so its not as easy as i think it is
X360's US ver is without Japanese dub, rite?
Will expect an epic fail on that one..
The Japanese dub is awesome!
Please insert it to the PS3 ver, Square Enix! :)
That loli... is a ghost? Anyway, this game seemed to have a softspot on glasses^^
And just imagine these scenes are going to be spoiled with the english dub...
Hologram. It is the future after all.
Scene 5: That purple-haired girl claims to have dug up archives of what people on Earth used to like. She must have dug up the "forbidden" archives. lol I wonder if centuries from now, people will no longer get "moe" on the things that get us "moe"? ;)
Make a ps3 version of it. The i'll play it.
they're not exactly ecchi, really. And I know as soon as they released the trailers that they were going to use that Edge-Ecchi thing, so it was a bit of a drag there, too.
wahahhaah
those creators are too damned frustrated in not fulfilling their DREAM of creating a full eroge game :P
LOLZ!!!
hmmm mabye they reject them in past of some eroge game (dis plot >_>") they think what the hell game is good before lets now the PLOT of that game in they cant reject any becaurse a good game XD
