Thanks to all and to your answers, i finally made my final choice about that game (which was already quite done before the questions but my choice was confirmed by that)

 

I preordered this :

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Star-Ocean-Last-Limited-Collectors/dp/B00284ANW6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1241448744&sr=8-2

 

"Star Ocean: The Last Hope – Limited Collector's Edition contains:

• Limited edition Star Ocean: The Last Hope Box: Unique 'digistack' packaging with dual gatefold, inside a special collector’s sleeve.

• Star Ocean Soundtrack Compilation CD: The STAR OCEAN Sound Best Collection showcases key themes from across the series that are specially chosen by the game creators and series fans.

• Five Star Ocean: The Last Hope Character Cards: Collectable prints of lead characters from the game, using rare artwork not officially released in Europe and other PAL countries.

• Brady Games Official Miniguide: 32 page game guide printed in full colour, with extra character artwork, descriptions and walkthrough information - to help you on your journey through the universe.

• Three Star Ocean: The Last Hope Game Discs: Expansive galactic adventuring goes across three game discs, accompanied by full colour play manual.  " 

i preordered it on a uk site thinking it will help me to spend less money than on a french site (price was 52 pounds (55 euros) instead of 70 euros in france) but i did not foresee that they add "VAT", which put the game to 70 euros... why can't English (both american and british) sites speaks in "all taxes included price"...  well, with the shipping cost, a French game would have cost 80 euros, but still... making a 10 euros saving when i was thinking making a 30 euros saving... what a little disapointement. (and to think i will play the game in french and the guide will be in english lol, i could translate or begin the game twice lol) 

 

As for the soundtrack, i would have thought that it was a star ocean 4 soundtrack, instead it's a "all star ocean soundtrack"... can't be bad if they put "cutting edge of notion" (battle theme) from star ocean 3 in.

And to think they actually say "the collector edition contains the game", seriously what kind of a moron would think the contrary?

 

Well, it is released the 5th of june, amazon.co.uk told me it will arrive in my hands between 9 and 11 of june.

Ew, ignore that strategy guide. It has a crucial error in it that we make you miss part of the ending.
