Star Ocean: Till the End of Time the fourth RPG in the Star Ocean series. The game takes place 400 years after the 3rd game, Star Ocean: Blue Sphere.

Setting and Story

Star Ocean: Till The End of Time is set in the far future, which happens to be over four hundred years after the earlier games in the franchise. Earth is part of the Pangalactic Federation, a large government organization that is spread across planets all over the galaxy. Magic powers are granted to humans through the power of Symbology, which was called Heraldry in the previous games in the series. The game's main character, Fayt Leingod, is on vacation with his parents and friend Sophia Esteed, when it is attacked by alien forces and he's forced to flee. He is separated from family and friends as he boards an escape pod and crashes on an underdeveloped planet. While there, he meets other offworld inhabitants, who search for him for reasons unknown, and he finds himself on an epic adventure that spans many planets and worlds.

Gameplay

This game is a Japanese console role playing game with quite a few large differences from other games of its genre. It's largely action based with direct control over characters' movements and actions in battle, unlike popular genre series like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. Both HP and MP are vital to characters' survival as well, as death can occur from lack of either of those commodities. Last of all, instead of the normal 99 or 100 levels that a character can gain, Star Ocean characters can level up all the way to 255.

Characters can attack in quite a few different ways. They have basic attacks and skills, which come in strong and weak varieties. Weak attacks can be parried, whereas strong attacks break the opponent's guard. Skills are set in strong and weak slots, which can be chained together, multiplying the damage. Skills can take HP and/or MP from the user, so players must be vigilant in order to avoid overusing them.

Outside of battle, gameplay consists of exploration of various environments in order to find items and complete the map, which nets varying items as well. Battles are not random; like many other games of its type, encounters are represented as onscreen enemies. The characters are in a typical sort of battle arena when they come into contact with the enemy, and that is where battles occur.

As of July 2006 Star Ocean: Till the End of Time has sold 630,000 in US and 533, 373 in Japan.
