Among the third-party publishers to have kept an announcement for this State of Play of October 27, 2021 night, Square Enix responded, by revealing the existence of Star Ocean: The Divine Force, scheduled for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series and Xbox One for 2022. The announcement, accompanied by a trailer of nearly 3 minutes, allowed us to see that visually, the title has d ‘first thought for previous generation consoles. Weak graphically, with a little archaic animations at times, this Star Ocean: The Divine Force also displays a character design that swears a lot, especially concerning the secondary characters who give the impression of dealing with a Chinese mobile game . No offense, of course, but the budget allocated for this title does not seem to be colossal, even though it is the tri-Ace studio which is in charge. However, the trailer specifies that the gameplay presented is indeed from the PS5 version, but the frame-rate also seems in the cabbages, not to mention that the uninviting English dub does not help the immersion.
On the gameplay side, the information is very scarce for the moment, but we already know that the game will allow us to take control of two different characters, one coming from an advanced civilization (science fiction), the other being from of an underdeveloped planet (fantasy). You should also know that the course of events as well as the allies that we will meet will depend on the character that we have chosen each time. The scenario promises to be scalable, with an approach very oriented towards exploration and the possibility of flying freely through the environment. In addition, if there are two heroes, the game will allow us to control all the members of the group. The PlayStation Blog has also taken the trouble to present each of these secondary characters with a little spiel on their personality and their skills. The release of Star Ocean: The Divine Force is set for sometime in 2022.
