 Star Ocean - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Star Ocean is a franchise of role-playing video games developed by tri-Ace and published by Square Enix (originally Enix).
Star Ocean even uses a plot device reminiscent of Star Trek's Prime Directive, dubbed the Underdeveloped Planet Preservation Pact (UP3 for short), forcing characters trapped on "underdeveloped" worlds to forego their high technology and fight enemies using primitive weaponry like swords and bows.
Star Ocean gameplay is often compared to the Tales series of video games by Namco, which is not a coincidence: after the release of Tales of Phantasia, practically its entire design department left to found tri-Ace.

 Star Ocean (video game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Star Ocean is the first of the Star Ocean video game series, made for the Super Famicom.
Star Ocean features many revolutionary ideas, including emotional levels between characters, a real-time battle system, a Star Trekkish story, and many high-quality in-battle voices.

 Star Ocean: Till the End of Time Preview - PlayStation 2 News at GameSpot
Star Ocean is a sci-fi-themed RPG at heart, but it features a refreshingly fast-paced, action-oriented combat system.
Star Ocean: Till the End of Time has actually been available in Japan since February of last year, though the imminent North American release of the game is based on a director's-cut version--a couple of the more notable extras include extended cinematic sequences, a new versus mode, and two additional player characters.
Star Ocean might not be compelling enough to play through twice, but the first time is as engaging as any RPG you're likely to play.

 Gamer's Logik 4.0 - Star Ocean 3: Till the End of Time Preview   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-06-20)
Star Ocean: The Second Story was one of those overlooked RPGs.
With Star Ocean III: Till the End of Time, both Enix and Tri-Ace hope to build upon and deliver on the promise of the previous Star Ocean games, the first of which was a Japan-only release on the Super Nintendo.
Star Ocean III carries on the story from the previous games in the series.

 IGN: Star Ocean: The Second Story Review
In the second of the Star Ocean series, Star Ocean: The Second Story brings gamers the tried-and-true role-playing experience with several subtle twists and an endearing story that's bound to grip its audiences with the power of an epic novel.
What drives every great RPG is the story, and in Star Ocean, the unwinding fates of its many characters immediately engrossed me. Actually, to take one step back, the early part of the game moved quite slowly.
Star Ocean is a mixed bag of polarized graphics, ranging from really old-school sprite-based characters to a few brilliant FMV sequences.

Star Ocean EX is a 26-episode TV series based on the Sony Playstation game Star Ocean: 2nd Story.
Now Star Ocean: 2nd Story happens to be one of my all time favorite RPGs, and so I was full of anticipation for this particular anime release.
Star Ocean EX is altogether an above average anime, but to be honest it's really better off as a game.

 Star Ocean: Till the End of Time (ps2: 2004): Reviews
STAR OCEAN's protagonist, Fayt Leingod brings his family and childhood friend, Sophia Esteed to the Federation-managed resort planet Hyda for a long-deserved vacation.
Star Ocean 3 lays out one of the most fun, intriguing and overall best role-playing games not only from just this year, but in any time recently.
Star Ocean isn't a game that everyone will instantly like, thanks to the real-time battle system which is likely to divide opinions significantly, but it's a game which has moments of absolute genius, wrapped up in a solid, competent but not particularly remarkable whole.

 Star Ocean: Till the End of Time Review for PS2 on GamePro.com
The biggest issue in the Ocean is boring and repetitious town and dungeon designs---most dungeons and outside areas are flat, sprawling mazes with chests to find and beasties to avoid but little by way of landmarks or interesting puzzles; they feel less "planned" than those of some of its role-playing peers.
Star Ocean: Till the End of Time is a fine, lengthy entry in a series that puts the Star Ocean name closer to equal footing with the greats, but don't cancel your preorder of Final Fantasy XII just yet.
Despite having a title that implies eons, enormity, dying races, and human extinction, the story of Star Ocean is rather intimate, and the setting is surprisingly grounded.

While Star Ocean never saw release outside of Japan (mainly due to the prohibitive cost of the high memory cartridge the game required), Star Ocean The Second Story became an RPG favourite of the PlayStation era.
The series became famous for its fun battle system, open-ended storyline with a number of endings as well as a large cast of famous voice actors, whose work was heavily featured throughout the titles.
The story opens 400 years after the end of Star Ocean The Second Story, with young Fate Linegod accompanying his old friend Sophia Esteed for a vacation away from study.

 Anime Review: Star Ocean Ex
First, let me start by saying that if you haven't played and loved the game, Star Ocean 2: A Second Story, you will hate this anime.
The anime by itself has mediocre animation, underdeveloped and stereotypical characters and a predictable plot that follows the typical RPG gaming style - meaning you visit towns, complete small tasks, and pick up new characters along the way.
