Holy s***, SE actually delivered.... o_O

And SCEJ is also co-developing with Tri-Ace, so I guess co-development with 3rd party Japanese studios is going to be a thing. But on topic, I'm so happy we're getting a Star Ocean 5!! The character designs look wayyy better than in SO4.

Wait, it's a co-development between 3 independent companies? That sounds really weird and like it could be hard to get it together, also makes Sony look kinda stupid for allowing it to be cross gen as well.

My guess is that if Sony wanted Star Ocean 5 to be a PS4 exclusive, they had to shell out a ton of money in order to make up for the potential revenue from the PS3 version's sales. We all saw how much the PS3 version of Dragon Quest Heroes sold in Japan.
