For four hundred peaceful years, humans and aliens have co-existed thanks to the influence of the Pangalactic Federation until one day without warning; the planet Hyda IV is attacked by an unknown superpower. Vacationing college student Fayt Leingod and best friend Sophia Esteed are soon forced into a series of events that sends them on a quest to save their loved ones and solve the mystery of who attacked them and why. Boasting more than 80-hours of gameplay and a highly strategic real-time battle system, Star Ocean: Till the End of Time is known best as one of the first RPGs ever announced for the PlayStation 2. And as an added bonus for American gamers, Star Ocean 3 contains all the same content and goodies previously available in the Japanese-only Director's Cut version.

But since there's no context, don't worry too much about semantics in this situation; just know that what we're getting here is the definitive Star Ocean 3 experience. Read More »
The world of Japanese console RPGs can be a pretty limited one, overly focused on what are more or less the same idealistic youths killing the same "Great Evils" and fighting for the same values in a variety of spins on the standard fantasy genre. But if the success of Namco's science-fiction epic Xenosaga is any indication, people are finally ready for something a little different. Star Ocean: Till the End of Time is the follow-up to Star Ocean: The Second Story, released here by Sony in 1999. There aren't too many studios that can match Square Enix's production staff, but after this game, developer Tri-Ace seems poised to join them at the top. Read More »
