To be fair to Square Enix on this one, they gave us a chance to buy Star Ocean on Xbox and we let them down. Star Ocean: The Divine Force released on Xbox 8 months ago, and yet on TrueAchievements just 2,700 TA users have played The Divine Force. Compare that to other recent non-Gamepass Japanese games on Xbox such as Tales of Arise (24k TA users in less than 2 years), Like A Dragon Ishin (6k TA users in 4 months), Nier Replicant remake (15k TA users in 2 years and 2 months), or Demon Slayer (20k TA users in less than 2 years). As much as I dislike Square's treatment of Xbox alot of the time, I'd say they're being pretty fair pulling Star Ocean from Xbox since Xbox users just don't buy the last entry in the series. |

Tales of Arise, Like A Dragon Ishin, Nier Replicant are actually great games, Lol.
Although Demon Slayer is only 1 point off from Star Ocean The Divine Force, on Steam is another picture, with Demon Slayer at 88% with 13,000 reviews compared to Star Ocean at 68% with 1,200 reviews (so Xbox isn't the only place it bombed).
Inconsistent releases alongside the titles we're receiving being the bad, average or just skippable ones is a deadly combo.
