New Star Ocean 4 Info and Pictures

tri-Ace for the WIN!! I love me some tri-Ace. Star Ocean 2 and 3 were great. (I didn’t play the first one). Don’t get me started on Radiata Stories. I’ve never had more fun kicking everything in sight. And don’t forget Valkyrie Profile! With Star Ocean 4, the 3d anime style and real-time combat game play are back with next generation graphics and awesome looking space vistas. IGN has some new info up for the fourth iteration of the series, which, it seems, will be a prequel. Apparently we should go back and play the first game to find out which characters we’ll probably see in the 4th game. Two main characters have been introduced - Edge Maverick and Reimi Saionji. Now, if we’re going to be giving characters silly names like Edge Maverick, why not just go the full nine and name him Jack Ironballs. I think that’s a better name, don’t you? There are also some pictures from Famitsu posted at JeuxFrance.com here. Present in the pictures is also one of Infinite Undiscovery. Based on tri-Ace’s website, this new IP may be getting more love than the next Star Ocean, at least from a marketing standpoint.
