Here’s an overview of the story:
Space Date 539.
Two years after the battle over spacetime symbols—. The post-war clean-up of the Pangalactic Federation and Kronos was completed smoothly, and the Federation had been enjoying peaceful harmony. Meanwhile, the Federation-owned GFSS-3214F exploration battleship, which was exploring deep space, was struck by tragedy. On the way home from its exploration mission, the ship was assaulted by three ships that appeared to be pirate battleships and the hull suffered great damage. Much of the crew fled the battle via escape pods, but the captain, who remained behind to protect the ship, made the decision to activate the emergency hyperspace warp. The warp, carried out simultaneously with a gravity turn, failed. Wrapped in a dazzling light, the captain’s consciousness was engulfed in darkness.
The captain awakens in a galaxy far away from the Federation’s jurisdiction, on a planet where wastelands extend as far as the eye can see. After first investigating the area outside the battleship to understand the situation, the captain encounters a woman being chased by a dangerous creature in what was thought to be an uninhabited wasteland. They get driven into a corner, but manage to escape to the planet’s satellite orbit thanks to the woman expending the limits of her power to use her warrior summons Symbology. The captain sets a course for Earth, which seems to be infinitely distant. With not even enough energy to put up a shield. And a woman who uses an unknown symbology.
While carrying the burden of various problems, the trip back home begins—.

As previously detailed, Star Ocean: Anamnesis has a real-time 3D action battle system in high-definition graphics, as well as four-player multiplayer battles. Battles promise to be intuitive with actions such as swipe to move and flick to evade. Characters from across the Star Ocean series will appear, including Fidel and Miki from Star Ocean 5, Reimi and Shimada from Star Ocean 4, Cliff and Nel from Star Ocean 3, Rena from Star Ocean 2, and Roddick from Star Ocean 1, as well as at least two brand new characters.
