PLOT

The deep abyss of space doesn’t allow for peace of mankind—

It’s been several centuries since leaving behind Earth, and the humans that surpassed countless struggles have created the “Galactic Federation,” with the hope of obtaining unified order and peace.

 

However, flames of new war have begun to ignite anew.

“Feycreed,” the unsettled planet located more than 6,000 light-years from Earth.

As we’ve seen in many cases before it, the waves of history reaches the shores of one planet.

 

The game occurs in Space Date 537, set between Star Ocean: The Second Story and Star Ocean: Till the End of Time, centuries after humanity has spread out from Earth. After multitudes of trials and the spread of the Galactic Federation, humanity is on the verge of peace. However, on the planet of Faycreed, embers of conflict have begun to stir.

 

CHARACTERS:

The protagonist, a 23 year-old man from the Kingdom of Resulia who inherited his sword skills from his father, a prominent swordsman in the empire. He is well composed and sincere towards everything, but has a hidden passion within him. 


A girl who grew up with Fidel as his childhood friend. Because of the difference in their ages, and the fact that they were brought up as siblings, Miki loves Fidel like an older brother. In her village of Sthal, she is a signeturge with a rare healing ability. 

A soldier who belongs to the Kingdom of Resulia Special Forces. He is faithful to his duties and has earned the devoted trust of his subordinates. He has a serious personality, but even when it comes to war, his conflicted about the killing of others. 

One of the world’s leading signeturges who belongs to the superior-in-magic Kingdom of Langdauq’s Spellmark Research Institute. She wears a revealing outfit, but it’s probably because she wants to show off the advanced magic symbol carved into her leg. 

A man who travels together with Anne. Although he’s dressed like a medicine salesman, he doesn’t actually sell medicine. He has a scary face, but a frank personality, and is always fair. He loves alcohol and women, and works hard to pick up the latter wherever he goes. He is by no means a frivolous man, however, and occasionally takes on the resolute attitude of an adult male 

A woman who travels together with Emmerson. She’s good-looking, extremely intellectual, and well composed. She’s often swung around at Emmerson’s actions. She’s always relentlessly chide, but she’s not necessarily a cold person. She actually has a hidden kindness within her. She has an unmatched love for cats, too. 

A young girl who lost her memories that Fidel and friends encounter as the result of a mysterious phenomenon and incident. The group takes her in, and Lilia thinks of Miki as a mother because she takes care of her. Much about this character is currently a secret. 

GAMEPLAY

BATTLE SYSTEM

The game will feature the same focus on real-time battles, but instead of the player going into a separate battlefield when fighting, they will instead transition directly into a battle on the overworld field. This change makes the battle system similar to Infinite Undiscovery, another game by tri-Ace. Enemies will also attack the player in the middle of some events. If party members get captured by enemies during these events, the game's ending will change.[1] The amount of participants in battle has also increased, the party size increasing to seven characters at once. Like all entries, characters not controlled by the player can have their AI set to certain strategies.

-ROLES-

 

A system that lets you set roles for each character in your party. Roles can be shared across the party, too. You can set up to four roles per character.

Role Effectiveness

Setting roles that make the best use of a character’s special traits is advantageous, as is setting different characteristic roles that make the best use of factors. Through various combinations, you can make a strategy all your own.

  • (1) Change the AI behavior of your allies.
  • (2) Change various parameters through Factors, including offensive ability and HP.


ITEM CREATION

■ Item Creation

By visiting Welch in Medauq, you can learn various item creations that become part of your party skills. Item creation is divided into three categories, “Recipe Synthesis,” “Creative Synthesis,” and “Equipment Enhancement.”

Recipe Synthesis

image: http://gematsu.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/SO5_01-24-16_003.jpg

Between mixtures, handicraft, smithing, craftsmanship, cooking, writing, and alchemy, there are seven types of items to create, and by arranging the items necessary for the outcome of each recipe, you can synthesize new items and equipment.

—Compounding

image: http://gematsu.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/SO5_01-24-16_004.jpg

Through compounding, it is possible to synthesize recovery items and attack items.

—Carpentry

image: http://gematsu.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/SO5_01-24-16_005.jpg

Through carpentry, it is possible to synthesize attack items and recovery items, such as those that inflict status ailments.

—Smithery

image: http://gematsu.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/SO5_01-24-16_006.jpg

Through smithery, with the materials necessary for creation, is it possible to synthesize weapons and armor.

—Crafting

—Writing

Creative Synthesis

Through creative synthesis, you can select up to six random items you own and synthesize them into a single item. It is essentially a lottery system where you don’t know what you’re going to get, but can possibly result in a rare item.

Equipment Enhancement

image: http://gematsu.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/SO5_01-24-16_012.jpg

Through equipment enhancement, you can synthesize materials with your weapons, armor, accessories to strengthen its parameters and add factors. The enhanced parameters and added factors differ based on the materials you synthesize.

Maybe you can do all the endings in one playthrough if it's a one choice kind of thing.

15-20 hours is what I read on other sites.

The one trophy that makes me go nope is the battle trophies. I ain't doing that shit.
