Star Ocean may kind of suck now – Star Ocean 4 was pretty bad, and last year’s Star Ocean 5 was arguably even worse – but if you want to relive the glory days of the franchise, you can soon. At least, if you have a PS4. Square Enix has confirmed that Star Ocean 3: Till The End of Time will be launching on the PS4 via PS2 Classics on May 23 in the west.
That’s the good news- here comes the bad news. It’s $20.99, which is an obscene price for such an old game, and ensures that no one but the most dedicated fans of the original game will actually pick it up. It’s a shame, because this could have feasibly given the series more exposure to an audience that, after Nioh, NieR, and Persona, is probably more willing to play Japanese games.
In any case, if you want it, you know when to pick it up now. Stay tuned to GamingBolt for more coverage.
