About the Game
Star Ocean: The Divine Force is an action role-playing game developed by tri-Ace and published by Square Enix. It was released worldwide for multiple platforms, October 27, 2022. It is the sixth main title in the Star Ocean franchise, presenting events that take place 46 years after those of the fifth installment, Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness.
Merchant vessel captain, Raymond Lawrence, forced to abandon ship and head for the planet Aster IV, meets Crown Princess Laeticia. She agrees to help Raymond locate other members of his ship's crew in exchange for his aid in her search for a Wise Man. Choose to play the game as either Raymond or Laeticia. Story events unfold differently depending on your choice of protagonist. Sometimes they split up and you only see what your Main Character experiences. Their journey together will reveal threats on a galactic scale that neither one expected.
Aster IV offers diverse regions to explore. Raymond's recovered cargo, an intelligent drone known as D.U.M.A., lets you fly for short distances to investigate areas you otherwise could not reach. Combat is live and fast-paced. Characters learn battle skills that can be linked to form attack combos. A skill can be strengthened by spending Skill Points to raise the skill's level. D.U.M.A. provides battle assistance, too, with enhanced movement, attacks and defense.
In addition to the main story, the game offers optional locations to explore as well as formal quests, side quests and an addicting board game. Item Creation, a Star Ocean staple, lets you make things to help along your journey and offers a great way to customize your characters. Private Actions, another recurring feature in Star Ocean games, add depth to the story and can change the relationships between characters. With two Main Characters, you can enjoy twice as many Private Actions. If their relationship is strong enough, your protagonist may have an individual ending scene with every other character in the party.
With this latest look into the Star Ocean, tri-Ace shows it still can deliver a quality space/fantasy adventure.
