Seems like it' s getting a PC port after the PS4 release not that surprising considering SE is publishing it.

They actually don't seem know most PC players probably have a gamepad nowadays so they need to figure out the controls with KB/M first according to this french interview:

Quote:

FFD : Do you plan to make a PC port of Star Ocean 5 ?

S.K. : Because it's a fast paced action title, I'm wondering what would be the best way to play it on PC... According to you, what would be the best way to play it ?
FFW : With a controller ?
S.K. : But in Europe, are people used to play on PC with a controller ?
Together : Yes.
S.K. : I see. Of course, if you have a controller, you can play it without any trouble, but I wonder how to do for those who don't have one. That's our main worry and that's the reason why we delayed for later the release of a PC version, to think of a control scheme for players without a controller. ASKA engine, which is used by Tri-Ace to developp Star Ocean 5, allows for fairly easy PC ports, so if we find out a way to solve the control scheme issue, the port would be pretty easy for us, although I can't promise that it would be fast.

Yeah gaming on a PC is a strange and foreign concept for the Japanese Laughing

Anyway game got a mixed reception in Japan but it seems it's at least a bit better then the atrocious SO4 and a few more JRPGs on PC can't hurt maybe we get a few other Tri-Ace titles as well if it sells.

PSP has really good remakes of 1 and 2, 1 was practically fully remade while 2 got some nice additions i like 3 on the PS2 as well even the OMG plot twist at the end was kinda fun.

I couldn't get into Star Ocean 4, it was really...emo? I'm not sure if that's the right word. And too me this does not look any better. As Zeel said #2 was really good if you ask me, or maybe thats nostalgia talking. Lately I just can't get into JRPGs as I could when I was younger. Last one I beat was tales of the abyss on the emulator two years ago

I wouldn't mind a Star Ocean game for PC, last one I played was Star Ocean 3 on PS2 and loved it.

With that said, that was like 10 years ago or more so maybe my tastes have changed since. Laughing

Star Ocean 3 was okay too in my opininon. It takes time to get into it but then it is a blast.

Is this still coming to PC? I'm thinking about replaying through #2, and I realized recently I've never even finished #1. Like I said over a year ago, I haven't really been able to get into many of todays JRPGs, too me alot of them are lackluster. I am looking forward to dragons quest 11, but it will probably never come to PC. And I refuse to buy a console

The remaster of IV is coming to PC, V well no idea but the two are apparently pretty weak compared to the previous games though last I heard some legal issues are causing some issues if these were to be remastered not too sure on the details but I guess it's some license issue or platform exclusive deal?
