Star Ocean The Last Hope announced for Xbox 360

Microsoft has held an RPG conference today in which Star Ocean: The Last Hope was announced for the Xbox 360. The game will have more science fiction feel to it. You will be able to travel through "a star ocean," jumping across planets. The game will feature new systems in its battle system. A new trailer of the game was shown, and we will post it whenever we get out hands on it.

Star Ocean: The Last Hope is supposed to be released on the console in 2009, but hopes of PlayStation 3 users should not end so quickly. The game might still be released on the console; after all, this might be yet another "timed exclusive" bought by Microsoft, just like Tales of Vesperia.

Update: Square Enix producer Yoshinori Yamagishi cleared things up during a roundtable interview session that followed the press conference. Asked if the game is 360-only, he said, "We cannot announce anything on that. We can say that it will be released first [on the Xbox 360]. Whether we'll release it on the PS3 is undecided. We may release it, we may not."

Update #2: We have youtubed the trailer that was released today, enjoy!
