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.
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
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.
thats why im a multi-platform gamer theres just no reason to to stick to a console expecially with the way bungee jumped ship and square-enix not and konami flip-flop. not only that but the way ps3 has been acting id very similar to the dreamcast
the game is great! but it seem jrpgs always gets the ENGURISH treatment when they reach the states!
sure they could do that for all i care but would it be so much trouble to put in the original japanese dub in there?? its a freakin' 3 disc game so what were they thinking!
thats the only thing(for me) that is ruining jrpgs..
yeah there are some good and memorable ones that i can remember....
AH! Lunar Silver Star Story! this game is EPIC in so many ways and it truly shines in the US version!
The PSX version I bet? I hated the PSX versions the gameplay was so dumped down...the fapping illustrations they hide did not sooth my fan boy rageings....
if its star ocean> the gameplay is quite unique the sound is nice the artwork is nice and as for the story typical jrpg stuff the graphics is psx standard so overall the whole game is pretty great for me!!(graphics shmafix its pure gameplay for me!)
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"? ;)
yeah i always thought it was odd too...but don't you think it'd be weird if the girls didn't slap the guy? I mean it wouldn't be as funny and the humor i think breaks the tension.
I think everyone seems to be making a fuss about this called so 'ero' content.
The most you've got is a naked girl in a shower and the guy catching a glimpse when her bed cover falls off.
I'd heardly call that 'eroge'...
As for the game, hate what they've done with the US version. Removed the anime character images for 3D versions and also failing to include the original Japanese dub.
Square Enix yet again failing.
If MS and Bandai-Namco can include both dubs, why not SE?
As for a PS3 version, I wouldn't get too excited. At the very least it'll be like Eternal Sonata where it's exclusive to 360 for about 18 months and then released when everyone who cares has already played and completed it...
Not bad. But this is nothing against the innuendo that is Ar Tonelico 2. Can't play that for 10 minutes without hearing some ambiguous lines. Hearing Croix shout "Maximum Penetration!" cracks me up everytime.
Oh, you sold me with your opening post alright. Nothing wins hearts and minds like condescending insults about comparing your target audience to children. Can... More
and at the same time xbox sales increased in japan....
Edge no Ecchi. nice one!
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
LONG LIVE DESU MAN OF EROGA GAMES XD!!!!!!!!!!
the fuck
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.
Haha what a horrible neko imitation
Haha what a horrible use of a Japanese word by a weaboo
Haha what a ... I got nothing.
haha what a horrible attempt at starting a combo
Are there spoilers in the vid?
Fuck. Wrong place to put the comment. My bad. :(
its official this combo is made of fail.
damn...c-c-c-combo breaker doesn't work here. :(
CCCCCCCCCCCOMBOOOO BREA....oh shit there's nothing to break D:
It is quite funny at some points xD
*sigh* looks like I'm buying an xbox.
I'm waiting for the "complete" PS3 edition.
good luck waiting
what Geerie said.
...no really, do you seriously mean that Artefact?
Of course he meant that.
And now shut up.
If the rumors of Tales of Vesperia coming to the ps3 are true, then SO would have a chance. :/
Tales of Vesperia will have to come out later this year, if ever. I'm waiting. If it doesn't, then it's obviously time to ditch the PS3...

which one? star ocean or lunar?

Make a ps3 version of it. The i'll play it.
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.

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
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! :)
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"? ;)
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.
Curse them for not releasing it for PC. I haven't played an RPG in ages and this is definitely relevant to my interests.
Do you read news from "http://beyondunreal.com/view_story.php?id=12530".
there is possibility that SO4 will going to PC (and maybe that's the time the producer's unleashed his true desire to this game).
"... in North America and Europe" - sounds like no Japanese version on PC then. Pity.
Please.... I beg you... I hope the undub version will be out so I have a reason to buy X BOX....
That sexual innuendo! D:
INNUENDO DIVE!!!
...yeah yeah I know it's diminuendo but still.
Guys in anime getting slapped for some dumb girls inability to wear clothes properly always makes me rage.
yeah i always thought it was odd too...but don't you think it'd be weird if the girls didn't slap the guy? I mean it wouldn't be as funny and the humor i think breaks the tension.
I fucking lol'd. And OH GOD IS DAT SUM SAWASHIRO?

I'm willing to wait that long. After all, I never played Eternal Sonata until the ps3 version came out.
That kiss scene was cute! I want an Xbox now... Damn you Xbox! Damn this big hole my pocket is gonna receive... Damn my inability to save cash!
Damn YOU. Just kidding.
Seriously though damn 360 for having all the great exclusives.
Not bad. But this is nothing against the innuendo that is Ar Tonelico 2. Can't play that for 10 minutes without hearing some ambiguous lines. Hearing Croix shout "Maximum Penetration!" cracks me up everytime.
