Do we even know if Microsoft has control over them? I've never heard of them publishing, funding, or paying for exclusivity on them.
You got a 3DS? DQVIII has a remake with substential new content.
You can already play them on the Xbox One. I thought they were backwards compatible.

I do but I'd much rather play it on my TV.

Not infinite Undiscovery. Would be really great if it also got added to XB1 BC.
You've not paid much attention then. All three are Microsoft IPs, and BD and LO were both published by MS directly.
Truth. 4 has problems, but 5 is just.....good god.
Actually they're both trash.
Yup one is just higher in the bin.

This game was absolutely terrible. But cool for anyone who's interested in a version with actually-good IQ, I guess.

Why...?
Give me idk, Valkyrie Profile 2

At least Star Ocean 4's combat system had some possibility of fun to extract out of it. SO5's battles are clusterfucks of too many characters (party size limits exist for a reason, who thought it was a good idea to have 6 party members in a single real-time battle) and a camera that just does nothing but spaz the fuck out at any given opportunity.
There's no room for strategy in SO5's combat AT ALL, 99% of the game is brainless button mashing at things you can't even see because of the camera, and 1% of it is completely unfair difficulty spikes from bosses that have cheap moves.

Wish it did more with it; it definitely satisfied but only as much as an appetizer would.

I still consider SO4 to have the best Combat system. It's what kept me playing after all of limle's antics.
SO5's combat system really kept me from enjoying that game, especially after SO4's was so good.

Woops, my bad. And its easy to find information too x_x
Truthfully, I don't know much about the 360 library or Microsoft during that time. I don't really know much about these games other than that they're Square JRPGs so much as I just had interest in them due to being Square JRPGs from the same time period as Star Ocean 4. I had just assumed since nowadays pretty much everything from Square is their own stuff.
Um WHAT ABOUT THE WEST.
I mean i have significant issues with SO4, but the gameplay is still decent. the PS3 version drops frames like hell on the overworld and runs at a lower resolution compared to the better performing and more clear 360 version, i would not mind getting rid of it in favor of a better performing version

Might have been a bit harsh, apologies. Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon aren't actually connected to SE in any way, Infinite Undiscovery is a weird case as Square Enix just handled publishing for Microsoft but it was a first party game.
3 was just as bad as 4, if not a tad worse due to the SP mechanic.
It's almost offensive that we received a 'remaster' of that garbage in the west while 2 was untouched

Bad opinions are bad and you should feel bad about it. SO3 is the best SO

Man, I remember the expectations and hype for this game and when it finally came out, so much vitriol of hate lol. Then Lyme hate, followed by a cheap cash grab of the international version. Heard getting the plat was extremely tedious and so many battles.
I mean SE could have remastered SO1,2 or 3, or better yet, remaster ROF instead. That game was fun with the outfits lol and over the top Gun-Fu.
It's digital only so I need to checkout some gameplay first. Are there any likeable characters in this one?

No. The only barometer is to what degree you can tolerate annoying or creepy. Well no i should not say that, Fiore can be okay....i guess...
But i still can tolerate it for the gameplay aspects, but be prepared for the most creepy "doll" like character models you will ever see. They dont emote in the least, they just...creepily stare into space like mannequins and do over exaggerated anime body like motions as if pulled by puppet strings. That is before we get into their actual lines of dialogue..
Anyone else have more info or is it still too early to know for these ports? Will buy day 1 if it atleast has english subtitles. I play with japanese audio all the time and do not mind subtitles. Always better that way.

Kind of terrible game but far better world and exploration than 5. Better combat as well.
I think this whole series is sort of terrible. I also played SO3 Ps2 classic and quit about 75% in, when I had to backtrack the whole world. The dungeon design of these games is awful.
SO2 is the only one I didn't hate, but its also very bad story and dialogue wise.

The PS3 version indeed has subs. 360 version is english only, although the port is superior to the ps3 version

The combat wasn't fun enough to keep me going through tedious dungeons with a bunch of annoying characters.
I'm not trying to say SO4 is a good game, either. Just that SO5 recontextualized my idea of how bad SO4 actually was. It could have still been worse.
SO5's gameplay with SO4's characters would probably be the worst RPG ever made.
Would be nice to get a definitive edition of this game. Fun combat system, cool world design, shame about some of the characters, but I dealt. Was much better than the disaster that was 5, and its chaotic mess of a battle system, tiny world, and lack of any type of cinematics (having a space battle where all you see are the bridge sitting around rattling off coordinates and missile vectors at each other). 5 was such a disappointment, 4 was one of the better rpgs last gen.

This is truly the darkest timeline.
I mean that's your own problem, it's not like SE didn't do anything with it.

Jesus, not even god damned close. There's so many absolutely dire RPGs out there, and no Star Ocean game even begins to approach them.
