tri-Ace, the Japanese developer responsible for the long running Star Ocean series, appears to be hiring for a new PlayStation 5 project. It's currently looking for 3D VFX artists to help "create future action RPGs with the high-quality and exhilarating presentation of next-gen consoles" (thanks Gematsu for the translation).
The studio's most recent work was Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness, which released on PS4 in 2016. It received middling critic reviews and the fan reception wasn't all that good, so hopefully this next project is a step forward.
Do you have hopes for a new Star Ocean game? Or maybe something different? Shoot for the stars in the comments section below.

C'mon tri-Ace. Make a Radiata Stories sequel!
Resonance of Fate sequel would be sweet. The only turn based JRPG I ever enjoyed. Even got every achievement back on the 360. Awesome game!
Be nice if they put out Second Story PS4 port in English after all this time.
A big problem with Star Ocean is that tri-Ace actively hates their fans. As I recall, SO3 has a trophy that takes 40 hours by itself and is literally just pressing the confirm button every 90 seconds or so.
If you're looking for a decent space jrpg, check out Cosmic Star Heroine.
@Milktastrophe I have been looking at Cosmic Star for awhile specially on my Vita but have been hesitant.
Would be nice to have a big budget Star Ocean game. Also ports of all the games on PS5 or Steam
@pharos_haven go for it. Cosmic star heroine is an excellent game. I platinumed it on vita and had a wonderful time doing so.
If this turns out to be true, I would personally hope for a new Star Ocean game. I love all the Star Ocean games. Even if some are better than others, I feel like all of them are pretty good. Although Integrity and Faithlessness is easily the worst out of them in my opinion, it still had a lot that I personally enjoyed.
I’m also super hopeful that Square Enix will at least release an HD remastered port of Star Ocean: Second Evolution, like they did for Star Ocean: First Departure in 2019. Even if that’s all we get, I’ll be super happy since I love the Star Ocean games.
I want a Star Ocean 2 PS4 Remaster and Star Ocean 6 on PS5, pretty please!
We already have Star Ocean 1 and 3-5 on PS4, so we only need those two games!
Hi there fellow gamers.
I would love if their next game was a Star Ocean game similar to my favourite of the series: Star Ocean 2: Secon Story.
That was the very first rpg that had that sci-fi space element that i always wanted in a rpg.
With Tales Of Arise looking pretty interesting, Final Fantasy XVI with medieval setting with crystals storyline and whatever this one turns out to be, it´s great to see more jrpgs coming back with a bang. Exciting times for the fans including myself.
Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all
@Shigurui Hi there friend.
You were able to get every achievement on Resonance of Fate?
Kudos to you.
I remenber the game being kinda hardcore.
Or maybe I was just bad at the game 😜
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
@RaZieLDaNtE - I did indeed. Yeah it's a pretty brutal game difficulty wise, it has a really steep learning curve along with some ridiculous difficulty spikes. The end game Neverland dungeon is absolutely insane!
I really dislike turn based games usually but something about RoF just clicked with me and I fell in love with it. It definitely struck a chord as I'm doing it all over again, I'm about halfway to earning the platinum on the PS4 version.
