Star Ocean 4 is not an Xbox 360 exclusive but rather a timed exclusive. It will eventually come out for the Playstation 3. Take a look at the following from the latest Square Enix press release:
INFINITE UNDISCOVERY (Xbox 360 Exclusive)
Genre: RPG
PAL Release Date: September 5, 2008Infinite Undiscovery is the newest fantasy role-playing console game from Square Enix, drawing gamers into a real-time world woven of countless threads where player choices spin untold discoveries. Players will be confronted with a variety of dramatic situational battles such as executing a daring escape while a gigantic ogre follows in hot pursuit, or waging battle amidst towering tidal waves. Dynamic environments change and respond in real time, creating an entirely new experience never before seen in the genre. The title is scheduled to release exclusively on Xbox 360 in September 2008.
STAR OCEAN: THE LAST HOPE
Genre: RPG
Release Date: 2009Star Ocean: The Last Hope is the long-awaited continuation of the celebrated science fiction and fantasy RPG series. Slated for release on Xbox 360 in 2009 and published by Square Enix, this prequel set during the aftermath of World War III combines sci-fi and fantasy elements spanning multiple planets and the vastness of space itself to recount the origins of the Star Ocean universe. Exhilarating combat expands upon the franchise’s famous real-time battle system, introducing the amazing graphics and visual effects only possible on Xbox 360.
As you can see it says “INFINITE UNDISCOVERY (Xbox 360 Exclusive)”, it doesn’t say ‘Xbox 360 Exclusive’ for Star Ocean.
Whats with this: “amazing graphics and visual effects only possible on Xbox 360“, Yeah right.
It just hasn’t been announce for the Playstation 3…yet.

Hopefully it’s only timed-exclusive, I don’t see them being stupid enough for only a 360 release (unless MS paid).
Timed Exclusive is still exclusive enough for me NOT to buy this game. SquareEnix, think I’m going to buy your PSP remakes… think again. You’ve shafted the Playstation fanbase for the last time as far as I’m concerned.
[...] Star Ocean 4 not an Xbox 360 exclusive [...]
i’m not even caring anymore.
i’d rather see Sony show some interest in a square/rpg competitor and bring some fresh new RPG IP’s to the table.
hate to bust this up, but in a recent interview with the Star Ocean Dev Team, when asked if they had any plans to take SC4 to the PS3, they said no.
On that note, there have been several other interviews to that extent, and the “only for xbox” symbol can be found on some of the SC4 boxes.
I think that perhaps they originally thought to bring it to the PS3, but in light of its failure in recent times, and progression of popularity of the 360 in Japan, they changed there mind.
This would explain the old press conferences and original box art conflicting with current news.
Again, sorry to let you all down.
Just trying to keep everyone up to date.
Dude what the heck.
it could be on both platforms u ass… which i indeed think it is
ps3 only has a few exclusive titles and bad track record. square probably isnt going to make any ps3 exclusives at this point
Exclusive or not, this game is going to be amazing, I can’t wait for it!
