Product Information
Sci-fi role-players return to the Star Ocean for the first time in The Last Hope, a prequel game set centuries before the original game's story began. Gameplay begins in the year S.D. 10, or about 2087 A.D. Humanity has waged World War III, and Earth is the greatest casualty. Lands have been upturned, civilizations have been razed, and survivors realize that they must find a new home, on a new planet. Players follow the adventures of young Edge Maverick and Reimi Saionji, two childhood friends who have grown up to lead humanity's first intergalactic mission, in a spaceship called <i>Calnus</i>. <br><br>At times, piloting the ship themselves -- a first in the Star Ocean series -- players have some choice as to which planets they visit and which adventures they encounter there. Exploration takes place from a standard third-person perspective. In combat, the view can change as players shift from character to character, and is accented with zooms and cutaways to display special attack graphics and other effects. Between battles, role-playing as the captain in conversations with other crew members allows players to build rapport between the characters, which lets them work better as a team and unlocks additional strengths and abilities in combat. Cut-scenes help to fill in the story between the action.<br><br>Battles play out in real-time. Players can control up to four party members, flipping between them with the trigger button. Each character has different strengths, weaknesses, and special abilities, which can be enhanced and customized with combat experience. The game's "BEAT" ("Battle Exalted Action Type") system lets players assign different general fighting styles to characters, pushing them to behave more aggressively, defensively, or to focus on special attacks, for example. Increasingly sophisticated BEAT scripts become available as characters level up. Star Ocean: The Last Hope also introduces "Rush" gauges, which build slowly in regular battle and allow characters to perform distinct, powerful special moves when full.<br><br>Originally released on Xbox 360, the PS3 version of Star Ocean: The Last Hope gets "International" suffixed onto its name because: it includes both English and Japanese voices; it offers Japanese, English, French, German, and Italian subtitles; and it comes with soundtracks featuring dozens of original songs.Product Identifiers

Old School Action-JRPG
Star Ocean is one of those Action-JRPGs sagas that you either love or hate from the start due to the commitment you have to put into it. The game itself is loaded with story, either to be read or watched through cut-scenes, so if you are not willing to sit through a lot of those, this might not be for you. Playstyle is real time action, as you move through the fields and fight monsters. You can get other characters to join your quest and can play as them by switching between them while in battle. Each of those characters have their own fighting style and mechanics so you need to learn to play them as some are more effective controlled by you in certain situations, rather than driven by the AI. You can assign them "combat behaviours" to be used when you are not actively using them. As its predecessors, this game also features crafting which is needed if you want to get the best gear. This versión contains all of the content that was released for the Xbox versión in one disc and some exclusive to the PS3 version's features. This game is involved and requires dedication if you want to see all that it has to offer. Save points are scarce and sometimes you can play for a couple hours before seeing one so careful planning on not dying is crucial. Graphics suffer some slowdown during battle due to a multitude of special effects when attacking with some special moves and special combo attacks. Graphics are also not ultra detailed, but that's to be expected of a game this size. Expect to invest at least 35 hours minimum into this one even if you are good at this type of game.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

"Pretty great" RPG for the PS3... Why have I purchased it 6 times....?
This is probably no new revelation to gamers who read reviews but this is a WONDERFUL, classic RPG with a fantastic battle system. It plays like a great PS2 RPG. I'd give it 5 stars, but the consensus seems to be somewhat the same... This game seems to get repetitive in scenery and battle. It also has a somewhat generic feel to it. The music is also not particularly absorbing, so.... Laughably, I have bought this game 6 times now (literally) and sold it each time. Sound crazy?... To you RPG fans, you may understand. I'm still looking for a great and absorbing "good 'ol SquareEnix game". Sadly, I think I keep wanting to like this game for the reason. GIVE it a try! It has decent resale value, and you just may love it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Best version of this game
It’s pretty great, but not quite as good as the Till the End of Time. Sometimes it feels more like you’re watching it rather than playing it. This is the best version of the game.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Fun game--and only 20-is bucks!
This game will keep you engaged for hours on end with its story line and all the collectables (items, weapons, enemy data, battle trophies and the like) to gather. Square Enix is known for its graphics and, though this game isn't particularly new, it's bright, anime-style graphics are still beautiful. Definitely worth a play if you're into RPGS and space themes. Pros: cool theme, beautiful graphics, collectables, decent voice acting. Cons: combat can drag on, the cut scenes are a little verbose, it's not the easiest game, so there's a bit of a grind.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
