OMG!! Gamefly listing was right!
First it was Enternal Sonata.
Second it was Tales of Vesperia
Now its Star Ocean IV: The Last Hope
I think we can safely assume that Magna Carta 2 will receive a PS3 port.

And Looks like SquareEnix is finally catching on where the real JRPG fanbase is, on PS3.

Now if they just released The Last Remnant and Star Ocean IV: the Last Hope before FFXIII.

PS3 is gonna be the JRPG console King!
Demon's Souls
White Kinght Chronicles
The Last Rebellion
Trinity Universe
Atelier Rorona
Wizardry
Disgea Infinte
Agarest: Generations of War
Final Fantasy XIII
Final Fantasy Versus XIII
Resonance of Fate
Tales of Vesperia
And now Joining the PS3 Star Ocean IV: The Last Hope!
Now if Atlus revealed Persona 5 @ TGS for PS3, It would be complete.

You know, this is making me feel bad for 360 gamers. I'm just thinking of how pissed I'd be to be playing a game that's good, but clearly needs work, but dealing with it, and then later on hearing about it coming out on another system with massive updates.

This isn't even the first time. Or the second, or even the third. It's a freaking trend. It kinda sucks for 360-only gamers (hell, even multiconsole owners, just to a lessor degree), but I don't see a way around it. All these additions to the PS3 version all centers around one thing: space. As in, the thing that the DVD9 format in the 360 doesn't have, but the PS3s Blu-Ray format has in spades.

As much as many of us have been saying this was going to happen, it sucks now to actually see it. 360 gamers are getting screwed, and it's only going to get worse from here.

For the people that think this will be only a Japan Exclusive. The International version has English and Japanese voices, and the event subtitles and menu text can be changed to French, German, and many other languages as well.

So anyone worried about this not coming to NA, you can always import it as PS3 games are not region locked. :)

Anubis, I agree with you. To a certain degree, I'm glad I didn't buy a 360 because it would have been a waste of money. I don't know what's going on, but Microsoft really screwed themselves over with those rpgs. They didn't crack the Japanese and even worse they're coming to the PS3.

People have been wondering why Square Enix have become so dumb, releasing games for the wrong fanbase on the wrong console. Square Enix released multiple games on the 360, some supposedly multiplatform, but none of them ever made it to the PS3.

Square Enix was essentially cutting themselves off from the majority of profit that they could make.

Yet the answer was there all along. Square Enix simply wanted to make it hard for the Playstation 3 to succeed.

http://www.gamespot.com/ps3...

In the second paragraph, Michihiro Sasaki, the Senior Vice President of Square Enix states:

"We don't want the PlayStation 3 to be the overwhelming loser, so we want to support them. But we don't want them to be the overwhelming winner either, so we can't support them too much."

Square Enix was only interested in the power they had over the "console war".

Gotta love how not only do PS3 get these games they always seem to get better versions of the games with new characters etc.. making 360 early buyers feel like nothing more than BETA testers huh? Glad I didn't buy this or any other JRPG for my sons 360. They are obviously not selling well so S-E going to the real market. I mean all the JRPG fans went PS3 we all know this I did I also had a 360 near launch but I never bought for JRPG's I only bought for gears once I played that to death I gave to my son and never played again.

mastiffchild - 72 days 6 hours ago

I had my doubts that SO4 would come to PS3 but as they seem to be adressing many of the issues which made it, although an OK game, the weakest ever Star Ocean game I really can see a point to this.

I'm a fan of the series and, in truth 3 and 4 both disappointed in equal measure but if they beef up the PS3 version they might make some cash back on this one.

Yales...is a different story as it's a great hame in it's own right and now they're getting the English actors vack in we know it's going west so this should as well. The bare facts are thtaat MS took a splurge on breaking Japan for the 360 but even though they secured the games that should have done that it failed to work and now SE and N/B need money back which means they want first to reach the rest of the Japanese TPG market at home as they clearly DIDN'T buy 360s to play them and a franchise like these two are needs to reach gamers to survive.

Why it all went tits up for MS I don't really know-maybe the agressive western style marketing allied to the reliability issues foiled them(I know reliability is important to the japanese)-but for low selling games like this esp it makes sense to find out if the market is indeed more based with PS3.

If only Sega would bring Yakuza3 goodness to western shores!

Getting the chance to play through the game in Japanese with English subtitles will be a dream come true.

Who cares? This RPG wasn't anything special and shouldn't be remade again on another platform. The characters were ridiculously shallow, the game itself had a horrendous combat system and the story failed completely and serves only as annoying interlude between battles.

I really hope Square Enix regains its ability to make stellar games someday soon, because the flashy story-line, lackluster game play has already gotten old.
