During this October's State of Play, one of the most exciting reveals for fans was the trailer for the latest iteration of the Star Ocean franchise. While the Star Ocean series had a relatively strong start, poor reception for its more recent releases has seen the series overlooked by most gamers in favor of related franchises like Tales or Final Fantasy. As such, Star Ocean: The Divine Force is being viewed by fans of the series as a chance to salvage a once-beloved series' tarnished reputation.
