They look like phantasy star online models from a PS2 game, I feel like this game is going to get a delay.
Yeah they need to polish it more, too anime 3d doll like, especially compared to the excellent Tales Of Arise's anime character faces design.
Since the dual protag thing is back hopefully multiple character and or ship endings like in Star Ocean 2 will be back too.
More details:
Star Ocean: The Divine Force is the latest title in the RPG series Star Ocean, coming from Square Enix and developer tri-Ace.
The first game in the series was released in 1996, and up until now five mainline games, one spin-off game, and one smartphone game have been produced.
The game features a story that blends fantasy and sci-fi settings, a plethora of different playable characters and side stories, and a unique battle system that allows for thrilling fights using simple and instinctive controls.

Prologue
The Pangalactic Federation. From their earliest days in the Sol System, this organization has sought to bring peace and tranquility to the galactic multitudes. As their reach has expanded through the universe, many a hero has served under their banner; saviors to planets in need. But by the year 583 SD, things have changed. The once peaceful Pangalactic Federation is now known for assimilating planets against their will. Once standing for justice, they are now wreathed in darkness.
Raymond, captain of the merchant vessel Ydas, departs from the nonfederated planet of Verguld on a standard transport mission. The job is simple, the route familiar, yet things go awry when the Ydas is attacked by the Astoria: a battleship carrying a member of the Pangalactic Federation’s preeminent Kenny family. Raymond and his crewmate Chloe are forced to abandon ship amidst the chaos and head for the remote, underdeveloped planet of Aster IV. Before their escape pods can even land, a burst of energy resembling an EMP from the planet’s surface knocks out their systems and brings them crashing down. They find themselves separated and stranded on an unfamiliar planet.
Upon landing, Raymond is immediately attacked by some of the less-than-friendly local wildlife. But when all seems lost, his life is saved by the crown princess of the Kingdom of Aucerius: Laeticia. Marveled by the sudden appearance of this man who rode into her life on a “shooting star,” Laeticia asks Raymond to help save her kingdom from the threat of the neighboring Vey’l Empire. He accepts in exchange for help finding Chloe. So begins their journey on Aster IV. However, Raymond will soon discover he has yet to escape the shadow of the Pangalactic Federation.
“Whence do you hail, Ray?”
“I’m from another world—one that’s far, far away in the sky.”
This encounter, and the ensuing stand against an overwhelming power, marks a new chapter in galactic history.
■ The Dual Protagonist System
Science-fiction and fantasy protagonists from two different civilizations collide in a story experienced from each character’s perspective.
The “dual protagonist” system has made its comeback. The story of this magnificent ocean of stars unfolds through the eyes of a protagonist from an advanced civilization (sci-fi), and one from an undeveloped planet (fantasy). The events which take place during the story, and who will be your allies at the end of the game, will also change depending on the protagonist you choose!
Sounds like monster hunter lol.
5 is quite short and the ending of MC and waifu Anne in 5 is not good enough for me lol
I still need to play the first few games, which I hear is better than recent entries.
1 and 2 are fairly short at 20 hours.
most were back in the days.
A lot were still 30-40 hours.
depends if you had a guide to use or not back in the day.
That would make them 50-60 hours then.
