Star Ocean Integrity and Faithlessness gameplay trailer
The 5th installment in the Star Ocean series received a new trailer for E3. The video reconfirms the game's commitment to seamless transition both in terms of combat and world. The developers talked briefly on stage about the game and said one of their goals is to destroy the notion that all JRPGs are movies with periods of gameplay. To that end and in keeping with the seamless goal, it sounds like most of the game's story scenes will be live-played dynamic events.
