Here is a summary of what is known about Star Ocean 4, based on Famitsu scans and what little information tri-Ace have released to date.

- Male leads name is Edge Maverick.
- Female leads name is Reimi Saionji.
- You will be able to control your own space ship.
- It will feature 4 characters in battle at once (back to old Star Ocean numbers)
- It will take place in Space Date 0010, before all other Star Ocean games to date.
- Several original Star Ocean elements, collections, item creation, symbology, action battles etc are expected to return in some form.

Release Dates
Japan = 19 Feb 2009
US = 3 March 2009
EU = ? 2009

New Famitsu Scans! Although beleive it or not there is still no confirmation on what system it will be on, or when it will be released.

Click below to view each scan!
Scan 1 | Scan 2 | Scan 3

Also, the promotional disk attached with Second Evolution did indeed feature a new trailer for Star Ocean 4, although in all honesty it's nothing more then an extension of the debut trailer, not much new to tell from it at all other then it takes place in Space Date 0010 (336 years before First Departure), and well it looks good.

The characters in the scan are very interesting looking indeed, and that massive airship thing tells me that the boss/ or whatever it is might actually bring up some decent challenge.
I hope it's on PS2(most unlikely) since the platform is yet to be announced.

Awesome stuff, thanks for uploading those Quarky. ^_^

It looks mad, AND in other news I will definitely get SO4 now, I just ordered an Xbox 360. Star Ocean 4 committing to Xbox 360 convinced me to get one over a PS3. :)

How good do the battles look...like Till the End of Time. But better, and with 4 characters again like Second Story. :D

The new pictures look decent. I hope this one is more like the older games and less like SO3.

I found this about the battle system:

Quote:
 
The game will use the same real-time battle system as previous games in the series. There is a new Rush gauge. The Rush guage is a feature that allows the play to either have a pre-emptive strike against the enemy, or it will allow them to use a certain ability or a special attack. Each character will have their own unique Rush gauge status.

Ohh the official site is up already, dammit. :scream:

I was expecting it to happen Friday and see it before everyone else myself, and update it.

Oh well, thanks Quark or I will put that on the main site soon no doubt. :)

Star Ocean 4 official site got updated today.

http://www.eternalsphere.com/so4/index.html

It includes a new character, Bacchus!

It's also added it's first two worlds on the World menu, Earth & Aeos. I assume these will be places we can visit, we can visit Earth!!!

No way!! EARTH? :o Surprisingly, we've never been to Earth before. I don't think so anyway. And for the first time, we've got a robot! I'm just waiting for Chewbacca to jump out :P It looks to me like Aeos is gonna be the 'underdeveloped planet' judging from the trees (and what's that layer of ozone doing there?)
Woo, Suikoden!

That's just it, while Earth shouldn't sounds cool...it does!

I don't think any Star Ocean game has gone there before (well, you can't visit there in Till the End of Time or Second Story anyway).
