Star Ocean: The Last Hope[2] (スターオーシャン4, Sutā Ōshan 4) The next installment in the Star Ocean series for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Famitsu has revealed that the battle system will now feature 4 party members, and be more team-oriented. The hero's name is Edge Maverick, while the heroine is named Reimi Saionji. The game will also feature more of a sci-fi emphasis than past titles with the ability to control your own ship. It's been said this ship is quite large, and will be able to land on at least 5 planets or other space-based destinations. One will be able to travel through the "star ocean," jumping across planets.[3] The game will also take place a few centuries before the original Star Ocean (around S.D. 10, or approximately 2097 AD).[4]
Story
"AD 2064. Humanity made its third and most costly mistake. World War III. Weapons of mass destruction deployed with complete impunity, razed the land in the blink of an eye. People believed it's the end of the world. The planet Earth was dying. So humanity began to search for a new home in space."
"AD 2074 first contact. SD0001 first warp. SD0010 -- first official SRF mission. The first official SRF mission ventures forth into the great Star Ocean."

Gameplay
The game will use the same real-time battle system as previous games in the series. There is a new Rush gauge.

Each character will have their own unique Rush gauge status.
Development
Star Ocean: The Last Hope was originally announced at the "Star Ocean Special Stage" at the 2007 Square Enix Party as the tentatively titled Star Ocean 4 with no platform.[5] It was revealed during the 2008 Xbox 360 RPG Premiere for a release on the Xbox 360.
When asked whether the title would see release on the PlayStation 3, Square Enix producer Yoshinori Yamagishi replied "We can say that it will be released first [on the Xbox 360]. Whether we'll release it on the PS3 is undecided. We may release it, we may not."[6] Square Enix have since stated that there are "no plans" for a PS3 version.[7]
Square Enix confirmed that both The Last Remnant and Star Ocean 4 will both be playable at Tokyo Game Show 2008.[8]
