""With the inclusion of the Japanese voice track, this is the definitive version of The Last Hope, and a worthy purchase for Japanese-RPG fans.

"Another reason that the battles are so fun in the game is that killing innocent woodland creatures is always a great stress reliever.

It looks like another JRPG may have failed to break the mediocrity barrier this year. A scan has been uploaded of the Star Ocean IV: The Last Hope review in a Game Informer magazine, and overall it is not looking good. The game gets a average 7, with bad animations, irritating music, and bad translation serving as the primary downfalls. The graphics and combat are apparently quite good however, meaning some will no doubt be on the edge with this one, depending on what you like.
