Well, they say "at the present time" (現在), so it still could see a release someday.

But since they also say "there is no intention" (予定はございません) its pretty clear that it's unlikely.

I don't know, I read it more as "There are no plans" which is a bit different from intention as you can intend to do something but not have solid plans or timeframe as to do it yet. Of course the words have slightly different nuances than any words we could try to directly translate to english so I think we should just wait and see. It is not exactly what sony fans want to hear either way.

お問い合わせの件につきまして、現在「スターオーシャン
-THE LAST HOPE-」を“PLAYSTATION 3”で発売する予定は
ございません。

Roughly translated this means:

Concerning the inquiries, at the present time we have no intention of releasing "Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope" on "Playstation 3".


Now, my Japanese isn't the best, but the translation is actually "No schedule", as oppose to yours which states "no intention"

 

Now, I'm no fool here, not an exact date is HARDLY "no intention". no?



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

KH3 bet: "If KH3 comes to Wii exclusive, I will take a 1 month of sig/avatar by otheres open a thread apologize and praise you guys' brilliance." http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?start=50&id=18379

i'm guessing it depends how well it does on the XBOX360 , it'll do badly in Japan , decently in the US and then arrive on the PS3.

Star Ocean 4 : The Last Hope....for the 360 in Japan

the name is so fitting

At least it's not Star Ocean: The Lost Hope.

Lol don't bash me. I just wanted to say that. XD

But I guess this is all due to MS moneyhats...*sigh* =/

Well, enjoy 360 owners. SO is a good franchise.


 Yeah...enjoy :/ I guess MS is getting what they want though, they'll have one more person buying a 360...even if it's only for a few games I want...this just made me kickstart early :/ *sigh*

How did the Wii lose it? It wasn't even planned for the Wii lol.

But don't take my post seriously. Like I said, I just wanted to say that X_X

I have all of the systems so the platform that Star Ocean 4 appears on doesn't bother me much.

@Soriku

I hope you can find a way to play SO4 even though it is on a system you don't have

This is what happens when MS pays for exclusives. Companies like Square Enix who are losing money when they make long term big projects like DQIX and FF13 need instant cash will take things like these just to keep a steady flow. I'd love to say that's great strategy by MS but in no way do I respect paying off companies to get whatya want.

We knew this, this was from what everyone decided that it was dependent on sales whether or not it got to the PS3
