Square Enix has announced in Tokyo at Microsoft’s RPG Premier event that the next Star Ocean, titled Star Ocean: The Last Hope, will arrive exclusively on Xbox 360. A trailer accompanied the announcement, detailing mankind’s first venture into space following the devastating results of a fictional World War III.

It’s out in 2009. Check out the clip below.

Update: IGN contacted Square Enix PR today to ask whether or not a PlayStation 3 version of the game was in order. They responded.

Square Enix producer Yoshinori Yamagishi 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.”

    Dude, I don’t believe this shit. Even Square is screwing us over now.

    I hope all the Star Ocean fans in Japan make a huge fuss about this. Sorry for posting another comment, but I have never been this angry at Square before. The company i have loved since I was a child just put a dagger through my heart.

    I’m starting to lose hope in Sony, Square-Enix and just about everything else. I think I’ll be looking for a 360 soon…

    I don’t get it… they know that the PS3 is the home of RPG’s and people who buy a PS3 like RPG’s. So why do this, the PS3 is catching up (Finally) and Square has such a long history with the PS Brand.

    They won’t sell a lot of copies and Japan and in the US and Europian market they won’t sell as many copies as they will do with the PS3 version … stupid and strange!

    Square’s fiscal reported a loss over the 2007/2008 period.

    Sqaure enix wants to increase it’s overseas profit, Xbox360 doing very well in USA and UK(crap in Jp) what better way to increase Overseas profit.

    Square needs money, Microsoft Japan comes along with a fat cheque for timed exclusivity, don’t think they’re going to refuse.

    As many I’m dissapointed but not angry. If you’re anger should be directed to anyone it should be towards Sony for not making it PS3 exclusive.

    Wow…I’m just speechless right now.

    I’m pretty sure it’s coming to the PS3. It’s just that they can’t announce it right now until the proper event.

    @AznSniper

    I’m pretty sure it will come too eventually, RPGs don’t exactly have stellar sales on 360. Most RPG players get PS3′s for RPGs since PSone came out, it’s been the RPG platform. I’m sure many of those owners are wondering what the hell is going on.
