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.
Additional characters are promised; curiously, at least one character was previously confirmed as being cut from the Xbox 360 version…
The obvious suspicion is that some of Microsoft’s largesse helped secure the Xbox exclusivity, with the PS3 version being the “perfect” edition.
The game, region free and fully multilingual, is due in February, with pre-orders available now.

didn't anyone notice that anon 22:17 said "PS fagboy. People like you don't even deserve to own consoles and be called "gamers." A true gamer has no bias against other consoles" ps fagboy? no bias against other consoles? if i didn't know any better, i'd say he was a hypocrit.
lold hard at the guy ranting about Ps fagboys. Stupid people make my day
lol u have a 360? how sad
PS fagboy. People like you don't even deserve to own consoles and be called "gamers." A true gamer has no bias against other consoles. And for the sake of argument like I have said before, you get for you pay for service wise. Though not to forger this part of the argument, if you don't take care of your system(s) and wonder why they crash or break or whatnot, it's soley your responsibility.
I have 360 and it's not sad. At least I can play pirated games on that one. You can't on PS3.
Before somebody starts flaming me, I'd have to add that you could buy food for one month for the cost of one PS3 game where I live. So the choice is obvious for me.
A "true gamer" is playing game while you are ranting about fanboys.
Maybe you don't deserve to own a console too?
true gamers have ALL CONSOLES, personally im a rpg gamer who would of gotten a 360 if i was so afraid of RROD.
n xbox makes u PAY FOR ONLINE
ps3 doesn't. WOOT FREE modern warfare 2, n i can thank xbox360 users for subsidizing my free online. -seriously thank you.
As for my myself, i own a Wii, a ps3, but no xbox 360. A lot of my favorite game I want are on ps3 and xbox 360 isn't really a console i want to buy. But, I've been playing xbox360 a lot and have fun. xbox360 was unbelievable before when his game library was so huge compared to ps3 with his only 10 games. Now ps3 got a great library of game. You see my point!?
A true gamer doesn't play on consoles. Consoles have multiple disadvantages and none of the advantages of Macs and PCs.
Every console game I've played past the age of side scrollers has been a huge disadvantage in terms of performance and control scheme.
@darkrockslizer: Piracy isn't a good thing to do and it makes the company poorer
@anon 23:47: true true, PS3 online is free and that's a good thing
I personally don't care w/c one is better. I have both and they have each game uniqueness. Also, I don't pirate games on 360.
@darkrockslizer:
And you live in?
LOLz I'd go for the Xbox 360 now that the rrod is dealt with. cheaper games, better graphics and except for disgaea 3, (but seriously, who plays that shit?) I'm having a blast with my 360 and oh the fact that bayonetta and the DOA girls looks so much hotter is a plus
@asuka222: At least I buy their console.
No pirate games-->
nobody buys games in 2nd and 3rd world states-->
no reason to buy console you can't afford games for-->
less profit for companies making the hardware.
(game developer's loss about same as their original games would not be bought there anyways.)
@anon 01:58: think of a tiny shit country in Eastern Europe with the deepest recession in EU.
Pirates aren't true gamers, they are just self righteous douche-bags who can't earn a decent wage due to their social ineptitude at getting a job.
Video game publishers are not Microsoft. Microsoft already has TONS of money, but publishers like Atlus, XSEED, NIS/A, and other small firms loose money when you pirate their games. They really need their sales to stay afloat with the amount of sales their games get. I can get the whole not being able to afford them and everything, but small publishers like them need the money for their games to keep on localizing/bring their titles over. I wasn't able to buy new video games for a good half year and beyond at a time growing up, but I know I helped the companies that brought over my favorite games. You have no reason to be proud of your piracy or your consoles ability to enable it.
I own a PS3 and a Japanese 360, and they both have their merits. I use my 360 for Cave shooters (Death Smiles), and Tales of Vesperia. My PS3 gets used for pretty much everything else. I don't weight one over the other because I like them both for what they are.
I always laugh when people try to justify their reasons for pirating games. Either just admit you're a scumbag pirate or stop doing it.
I don't know I don't support Xbox360, for a number of reasons, one of the biggest ones is that it drags down PS3 and PC, due to the DVD and Microsoft licensing fees. Purely that, people have to pay a licensing fee for each additional DVD unless they secure a special deal. This makes it more likely that a game will cut out additional content, higher res textures, and other things that would have been free but end up turning into DLC instead. As a CONSUMER I can't support it, it's just bad for me to support it. Look at Ubisofts new double pack idea, they combine Rainbow Six: Vegas and Ghost Recon 2 on one PS3 Bluray. Imagine how much more could have been packed on an exclusive Bluray.
Games will not improve in quality until a new Xbox console comes out using Bluray, the sad fact is the PS3 might be able to keep up with a new Xbox. Simple because most of the quality is based on DATA. The more data you can place on a disc the higher the quality especially of textures.
I'm tired of playing Xbox games on my PC and PS3. I hate the jaggies, I hate the blur, I have the low textures, and I hate the slow stream they have, like COD:MW2.
Oh not to mention that the Xbox360 has one half the streaming ability of the PS3, literally one-half. Games like Call of Duty: MW2 where they have to stream in the quality of the graphics wouldn't even be noticed on the PS3. Take Uncharted 2 as an example. Yet we have to pretend we have an Xbox360 with it's slow streaming, I can only shake my head everytime I see it.
Anon@ 03:50
It's easy to laugh your fat American ass off at poor people, eh. Good for you.
Try moving to, say, India and do the same job you do in USA for THEIR salary. I so want to see how you'll manage to afford any of the official games with that.
The question is why do you own a game system in a climate like that? I can understand a computer for work and such, but a game console in that situation is unnecessary.
Everybody wants to make the best out of their lives and have fun sometimes. It's those little bits that count.
I remember how I collected money for my first PlayStation for a year and a half by not eating anything for my pocket money at school.. ahh, the good times.
I kept saving it all for games, asking for more pocket money as parents started to earn more, and could buy one pirated disk from the shop for 4$ a week. It was like the life had become a dream come true.
If you pirate your games, go pirate them in a corner of your room. Don't go bragging about it online, simple.
No one needs to know your sad story for justifying your reason for pirating games.
Justify!? What are you talking about.
All those games can be bought in shops officially - the shop owners know nobody would buy any of the official disks with our wages.
We have 9 times lower wages for every job compared to developed states;
also 200%+ prices for electronics compared to US - import taxes, resale and transport costs to get it to Eastern Europe.
So it is 18 times more expensive to buy official disk here. 18 TIMES! It is not a matter of goodwill anymore.
for an XboX360/PS3 game, you pay 20-50 USD
But for us, that'd be like paying 360-900 USD.
Reasonable enough for you?
@Drockslizer
Maybe people in India should stop stealing jobs from american Programmers, then you wouldn't have to worry about comparisons, eh?
@darkrockslizer: I don't have anything against you but pirating games isn't really a good thing. Even you don't pirate games, some people does. Even if you say that "Everybody wants to make the best out of their lives and have fun sometimes. It's those little bits that count", pirating game is still a form of stealing. No matter where you look at it, it's just not right.
And think about it, what if you are the owner of the games that they are pirating, will you be happy about it?
What will it change?
The people like me can't afford the originals anyways, so piracy or not, it won't change anything for the developers.
Think of reading a book inside a library or a bookstore.
Somebody made it, I read it.
For free.
If I like it and the price is affordable, I go buy it.
At which point this starts to become a crime?
Movie makers tried to protest against home television at first, also. However in the end, nobody died. Yarr! ☠
Take your shit discussion somewhere else.
We're talking about Star Ocean here faggots.

"@anon 23:47: true true, PS3 online is free and that's a good thing"

Somebody's bitter...
Lulz at M$. If they are so dumb to pay for a beta they are too dumb...
delicious xbros tears
With New Characters (plural), and a new battle system, it's about time I picked this up.
They should've also improved the graphics by now.
improved the graphics ?
oh yeah, like in ToV perhaps.
Haha, always those poor 360 fanboys who can only count on their graphics when it comes to multiplatform.
Everyone knows that the best looking Exclusive Games are on the PS3.
And everybody disagreeing with that is a unbelievable cretin with no brain at all!
NO BRAIN AT ALL!
common Vegio, come suck my dick PS fagboy. So what if the 360 has the graphics. All that matters is the gameplay. So STFU and go play with yourself in the closet. It's people like you who make me not want a PS3. I still own the PS1, PS2 and the first wave of the PSP's but bullocks man just get over the fact that your attitude just like everyother PS fagboy will always make me and other "TRUE" gamers not want to play on or own a PS3!
And its fools like yourself that make the entire world loathe ALL console fanboys (or fangirls)
Grow up and get a better definition of "true gamer".
I'm still new to this fanboy shenanigans...
Silly western gamers...
PS3 = superior hardware. I don't really care about the platform I care more about the game itself. For those who are throwing the whole "true gamer" thing around "true gamers" are those who don't care about platform. If the game is good it's good if it's bad it's bad. That's all there really is to it.

Big talk for someone crying/whining under an anonymous label. Your post reminds me of people who talk tough and threaten others over the phone.
I also find it highly curious that your own personal self esteem and gamer esteem is seemingly reliant on people at comment section on a forum online.
I'm also curious why you have to resort to insults and name calling in order to stress your point/intimidate.
Or maybe Vegio's comments shrunk your junk a little and you need some digital verbal payback?
Just trying to understand your mindset here.
Yeah, I want it too. I played the 360 version and I really liked it, and personally i don't mind it being released again on the ps3 with more content I'll just buy it again and play it again and have an even better time.
I'm going to re buy it, too. Though I haven't beaten the game, I will beat it on the PS3.
Also, I have no hate for either gaming platform. I have both and play a good amount of games. All but sports games, which I suck at.
But I have to say I enjoy playing my Ps3 more then my 360 only because I don't want to pay for, what, sending messages to my xbox buddies? A silly avatar?
Don't get me wrong, I love my library of xbox games, I just feel that they already get enough money from all other people who get the RROD and don't know it's repairable. They should at least lower it. I say 20 dollars a year. When Xbox live starts making me breakfast, THEN I'll be happy to dish out 50 dollars a year.
Additional character(s)? I can see how one of the non-playable characters would make sense but I don't see where they can add more without changing the story line a lot.
Hmm, debating on whether to pick this up. I know this game is multi-lingual but does it also have subtitles? That and some more rewards for their retarded trophy system would make this a much more palatable purchase.
Tri-Ace needs to add alternate costumes in this one, even SO3 had that. I don't know why they cut that from SO4.
they are apperntly u can wear capel and aya costumes from infitinty undiescoeverd its like a sorry to the ps3 owners about not bringing that game to them
English subs, Japanese, subs, supposedly German, Italian, Spanish, and French subs too.
What did they do with pirate loli?
If they managed to throw her in-game, why not in Star Ocean as well?
She is actually the first character they introduced that would be added.
