The two characters split up quite often during the adventure, so to get the full picture, players must play through both campaigns, which take roughly 40 hours each to complete with minimal side content completed.Įven with the different perspectives, the basics of the story are pretty much the same. While the two characters' storylines aren't that much different, they provide different points of view on the story - Raymond's more sci-fi focused, while Laeticia's more fantasy focused. Raymond Lawrence, a young man from the non-federated planet of Verguld who commands the merchant ship Ydas under Lawrence Logistics, his family's company, and Laeticia Aucerius, the princess of the kingdom of Aucerius which dominates vast sways of land on the underdeveloped planet of Aster IV, where the vast majority of the story takes place. Star Ocean: The Divine Force, like Star Ocean: Second Story, features two different main characters.

The mobile game did so well for tri-Ace that they got the chance to make yet another full-fledged entry in the series called Star Ocean: The Divine Force, which, while not on the same level as the first three entries in the series, is pretty close to it, and a far cry from The Last Hope and Integrity and Faithlessness in pretty much every aspect. The series further went down with the release of Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness in 2016, a game with an incredibly small scope that felt like Star Ocean only for recycling gameplay features and visual and audio assets.Īt this point, the series seemed at an endpoint, but tri-Ace wasn't yet done with it, releasing a solid mobile RPG called Star Ocean: Anamnesis that proved the team still had what it takes to craft a compelling experience. While the gameplay was mostly fine, the game left a lot to be desired regarding characters and story, featuring some of the most annoying ever seen in a role-playing game. Following the extremely disappointing Infinite Undiscovery, the team released the fourth entry in their iconic series, Star Ocean: The Last Hope, which was not on the same level as the three games that preceded it.

HD development, as they call developing PC and console games since the PS3 and Xbox 360 era in Japan, proved to be challenging for many Japanese teams, and tri-Ace struggled more than most. Somewhere along the way, however, something broke. While the Tales series languished in the West due to Namco not localizing many of the best entries in the series, Star Ocean thrived, and it seemed like there was no stopping the series from becoming one of the most popular JRPG series worldwide.

The Star Ocean series' popularity was further consolidated with the second and third entries in the series, Second Story and Till the End of Time, which, unlike the first entry in the series, were released in the West.


And in many ways, the original Star Ocean surpassed the first entry in the Tales series by offering a more dynamic story whose final outcome was partially influenced by the choices players made during Private Actions, special optional events that allowed players to learn more about characters and deepen their bonds with protagonist Roddick. The first entry in the series, released back in 1996 on Nintendo's Super Famicom system in Japan, was the first game developed by tri-Ace as an answer to Namco's Tales of Phantasia, which members of tri-Ace worked on as part of Wolf Team. The history of the Star Ocean series is an interesting one, to say the least.
