Star Ocean: The Last Hope is the 2009 installment in the Star Ocean series. It can be played in the Xbox 360. Famitsu stated that the battle system features 4 members of the party. It will also be team-oriented. In this installment, the hero is Edge Maverick and the heroine is Reimi Saionji. The game also features more sci-fi side stories than the previous Star Ocean titles. The gamer can also control the ship. It has also been reported that the ship in Star Ocean: The Last Hope is large. It will land on 5 planets or any space-based landings. The gamer can also travel via the star ocean – meaning he can jump across the planets. The game takes place a few centuries before Star Ocean, the original game.
In the year 2064, there is World War III. The weapons of mass destruction have been deployed and razed the world as we know it in just the snap of our fingers. Most people believe that it is finally the end of the world. Earth is dying. This is why humanity starts searching for a new home amidst space.
Here are the characters in Star Ocean: The Last Hope. The hero is 20 year old Edge Maverick. He is from the earthling race and his weapon is a sword. He is an honest man who is responsible and just. In order for him to save mankind, he joins the SRF and he travels to the solar system by driving Calnus, his ship. He assesses the situation perfectly well but he can be reckless.
Then there’s Remi Saijonji. She is 19 years old from the Earthling Race. Her weapon is a bow. She was already taking archery at an early age. Now she is the master. She’s very strict but has a gentle heart. She often cracks under pressure. Together with her friend, Edge, she joined the SRF and travels the universe.
One of the characters they meet is Faize Sheifa Baleth. He is an active member of the planetary research group. Then there’s Lymle Lemuri Phi who is a young girl in Lemuris. She lost her parents when she was young and she was raised by the village chief. Then there’s Bacchus, a scientist who comes from a planet that is technologically advanced. Because of his core processor and mechanized form brain, he cannot commune his emotions very well.
Other characters include Meracle who is a feline humanoid. She is always cheerful and because she is animal-like, she has heightened smelling and hearing senses. Then there’s Crowe F. Almedio. He weilds twin swords and like Edge, belongs to the SRF. He is a Captain for Spaceship 001 and he’s only 21 years old. Last two characters that the gamer can control are Myuria Tionysus who is part of an investigation team from an underdeveloped planet and Welch Vineyard, the sub-operator for the Calnus.
Players of Star Ocean: The Last Hope will definitely enjoy this new game just as they enjoyed the previous video games because two elements that have the Star Ocean trademark are still here. It has the same control and the same over-all design. But what makes it really enjoyable for local Star Ocean gamers is the fact that the story build up and the character build up are still exciting and it’s just like watching a movie while playing.
