Forums - Gaming Discussion - What are the differences between the PS3 and 360 versions of Star Ocean 4?

I was thinking of getting the game, but couldn't decide between the two versions. So are there any differences between the two besides the price and the amount of discs?



Around the Network

According to my good buddy Naz the PS3 version has:

"1 disc, Japanese voice acting, anime character images, and fixed technical issues"

while the 360 version will obviously be cheaper.

Review from 1up posted today, helps you understand the differences:

Odd. Future. Wolf. Gang. Kill. Em. All. OFWGKTA Don't give a fuck!

Fuck Steve Harvey. FREE EARL!

Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be the GREATEST game EVER made!!!

I'd take a bullet for Square-Enix! 

 

I'd say it's not worth the higher price, unless you can't live without the Japanese voice acting.



The review backs up what Torillian said, and the price difference isn't as much as I assumed. Thanks guys!

There is only a $20 difference on Amazon, and I like the PS3 case better( The case makes a game >.>)

Not according to the review

The Last Hope: International Version

 

The PS3 version of Star Ocean 4, while coming out a year after its 360 counterpart, at least brings a few highly desirable additions. For one, you can listen to all the game's dialogue in Japanese -- a feature more games should include (It even made me want to play through the game without the voiceacting turned off completely!). And you can swap the game's menus to a brighter, more anime-inspired look. If, like me, you thought the 360's 3D character portraits looked out of place, it's nice to switch over to the original Japanese art.

Minor tweaks to the battle system didn't make a huge difference in my impression of the combat, which is still fun if a bit grindy and button mashy. And visually, there's practically no difference at all between the two games. It might not be a reason to sink in another 40 hours if you've already played through it on 360, but if you held off on getting the game last year, your patience has definitely paid off. The PS3 International version of Star Ocean 4 is undeniably the superior game.
