Famitsu revealed that the battle system featured four party members, and was more team-oriented. The game also features more of a sci-fi emphasis than past titles with the ability to control your own ship. This ship is quite large, and is able to land on at least 5 planets or other space-based destinations. Players are able to travel through the \"star ocean,\" jumping across planets. The game takes place a few centuries before the original Star Ocean (around S.D. 10, or approximately 2087 AD). The game's plot revolves around Edge and his crew combating a mysterious threat called the \"Grigori\".\n\nAn international version of the game was released by Square Enix as a worldwide PlayStation 3-exclusive on February 9, 2010. Officially known as Star Ocean: The Last Hope International, the game contains both Japanese and English voices as well as new content that is exclusive to the international version of the game.","184208\u002Fstar_ocean_the_last_hope_cover_webp","184208\u002Fstar_ocean_the_last_hope_header_webp","https:\u002F\u002Fyoutu.be\u002FLhQdstAXkY4","2009-02-19",null,7192,"star-ocean-the-last-hope",[18,23,26],{"company":19,"developed":21,"published":22},{"name":20},"Square Enix",false,true,{"company":24,"developed":22,"published":21},{"name":25},"tri-Ace",{"company":27,"developed":22,"published":21},{"name":28},"Square Enix Product Development Division 10",[30,31,32],"Action","Role-playing (RPG)","Adventure",[34,35],"PlayStation 3","Xbox 360",[37,52,67,80,93],{"id":38,"author":39,"outlet":42,"summary":48,"review_url":49,"review_date":13,"original_score":50,"normalized_score":51},71068,{"id":40,"name":41},4946,"Erik Brudvig",{"id":43,"logo":44,"name":45,"website_url":46,"score_format":47},69,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FIGN-logo.jpg","IGN","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.ign.com\u002F","10","Star Ocean: The Last Hope is not an RPG for the ages, but it is a lot of fun to play.

Despite its obvious qualities, the PS2 classic re-release of Star Ocean: Till the End of Time earlier this year showed us just how badly even a great can age. Thankfully, the same cannot be said here; Star Ocean: The Last Hope has aged gracefully, and developer tri-Ace deserves credit for supplying a remaster that markedly improves on the original release.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.pushsquare.com\u002Freviews\u002Fps4\u002Fstar_ocean_the_last_hope","2017-12-12",{"id":81,"author":82,"outlet":85,"summary":90,"review_url":91,"review_date":92,"original_score":65,"normalized_score":66},144981,{"id":83,"name":84},12367,"Enricko Ozoa",{"id":86,"logo":87,"name":88,"website_url":89,"score_format":47},149,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fsirus-gaming-logo.png","Sirus Gaming","https:\u002F\u002Fsirusgaming.com\u002F","All in all, the game can still be fun, but it’s just not as good as one would hope.
