00:07Hello my friends and welcome back to PlayStation Underground.
00:09We are playing Star Ocean Integrity and Faithlessness,
00:12which is coming to PS4 on June 28th.
00:15I am joined by Francis from Square Enix. Hello, sir.
00:18Hello. Thanks for having me.
00:19Absolutely. And I'm joined by Justin, our friend from PlayStation.
00:21Hello, sir.
00:22Hi there.
00:23So we are just jumping in.
00:25Justin has never played this before.
00:26It's tradition.
00:27I've never.
00:27It's tradition for us on PlayStation Underground to make Justin
00:30just jump into a game with no experience whatsoever.
00:33I've never played a Star Ocean game before,
00:35but I've always heard amazing things,
00:36and this one sounds really cool based on what you've told me, Ryan.
00:39So Francis, tell me a little bit about if someone has never played
00:42a Star Ocean game, this is a pretty good place for them to start,
00:45right?
00:46Let's go find stuff.
00:47Yeah. Actually, this Star Ocean you don't have to have played
00:50any of the previous Star Oceans to know what's going on in the story.
00:53It's a standalone story, so you won't be missing out on like,
00:56like, oh, I didn't know what happened in, you know,
00:58Star Ocean 3 or 4.
01:00This one's, like, brand new.
01:02You don't have to know anything from the previous story.
01:04Perfect. Yeah.
01:04That's what I like to hear.
01:05Okay. So I've got a menu here for Justin.
01:09You found the menu.
01:10That's awesome.
01:10Francis, help him in whatever capacity.
01:12So you can switch between characters using the left and right T-pad.
01:16Do damage.
01:17You know, the damage dealers are usually the guys with the swords.
01:20Okay.
01:21So Fidel and Victor, those guys are your damage dealers.
01:23Also Fiore is in the back.
01:24She's a mage.
01:25So you can control her too if you like, you know,
01:27dealing damage with, like, fireballs or just casting spells from afar.
01:34Ooh.
01:35I got some stuff.
01:36There's actually collecting and gathering in this game.
01:39Oh, yes.
01:39Item creation.
01:40You can get into that.
01:41Preemptive attack.
01:42Yes.
01:43So the Star Ocean games, as you and I have talked about this,
01:46Francis, I mean, they're kind of near and dear to my heart.
01:48I remember playing the second story on the original PlayStation many
01:51years ago.
01:52Claude Kenny.
01:53And these games are really, I think,
01:55famous for giving a really touching and really specific and unique
02:00fusion of fantasy and science fiction in a way that really just
02:04feels like Star Ocean.
02:06Yeah.
02:06And I feel like this is totally the same.
02:08I mean, you still get that sense.
02:10It seems like the team really wanted to harken back to the old
02:13school Star Ocean.
02:14Yeah.
02:15Kobayashi-san, who's the producer of the game, he's actually a big fan of
02:19Star Ocean.
02:20Yeah.
02:21He played all the previous games and he grew up playing it.
02:24And he wanted, it makes sense for him to have produced this game
02:27because it just, like, it fits for him.
02:29It makes sense to him.
02:30And he knows, like, what the fans would want in a Star Ocean game
02:35because he himself is a fan.
02:37You can relate to the story in the sense that if you've played the
02:40previous Star Ocean, you can expect the same type, like the same.
02:44Now you're doing the emotes.
02:46You found the emotes.
02:47Wait a second.
02:48You're saying I can laugh hardly?
02:49Yes.
02:50Thank you.
02:51Yes, please.
02:52So this is how you affirm something.
02:55Can we do that?
02:57I love that.
02:58So this is actually the episode.
03:01We're just going to stay here and watch the emotes for the rest of the
03:03episode.
03:03I'll stop.
03:04For 30 more minutes?
03:04I'll stop.
03:05For 30 minutes.
03:06So emotes is actually a skill called Emoter and you can level
03:10that up and the more you level it up.
03:12You can level up your emotes.
03:13You can level up your emotes.
03:14Francis, you're speaking my language.
03:16You can level up your emotes.
03:17Level up your emotes.
03:19This is a near perfect game as far as I can tell.
03:23So actually we didn't even get into kind of give me a quick
03:26elevator pitch on the story of this particular game.
03:31Actually the main character's name is slipping my mind and I feel
03:33terrible.
03:34It's Fidel Camus.
03:35Fidel, that's right.
03:35The blue haired guy with the sword with an awesome hoodie.
03:38Yeah.
03:39So the story of Star Ocean 5, sorry, Star Ocean Integrity and
03:42Faithlessness is you're playing as Fidel Camus.
03:48He grew up in a small village teaching swordsmanship.
03:53Yeah.
03:54He's been doing this to protect the village because his father left to be a military advisor
04:00for Rasulia, which is like one of the continents.
04:03Okay.
04:04Yeah.
04:04So he's been doing this since he was 18, but now he is 23.
04:09So it's five years later.
04:10He's been doing this for five years and he's kind of grown, you know, spiteful, not spiteful,
04:15but like resentful of his dad for leaving.
04:18Yeah.
04:18But he's still taking the responsibility to protect this village.
04:21He grew up with Miki, who is the pink hair girl.
04:26And they encounter this young girl named Relia, who has mysterious powers.
04:33Mysterious, very powerful powers.
04:35Of course.
04:36Of course.
04:37Of course she does.
04:38And, you know, there's evil forces after her.
04:41And Fidel, being the guy who he is, you know, how he wanted to protect Stahl, his city,
04:47he takes it upon himself along with Miki to protect this girl because she has no one else.
04:52Okay.
04:52Excellent.
04:53And that's actually at the very start.
04:55How far into the game are we in this save file?
04:57A couple hours?
04:58A little more than that maybe?
05:00You're actually about maybe ten hours into the game.
05:02Yeah.
05:03At the very beginning of the game, Fidel's town, as you said, comes under attack
05:07and that kind of spurs a series of events that pick up a much more grandiose narrative.
05:13Yes.
05:13As is the case with a lot of Star Ocean games, is that they start small in scope
05:17and they start getting broader and broader.
05:19Yes, exactly.
05:20Exactly.
05:21Oh, wicked lightning spell there.
05:22So, Justin, as you were experiencing the combat for the first time,
05:26it's kind of a fusion of, like, traditional JRPG with real-time combat
05:31and combos and stuff.
05:32What are you thinking?
05:33Are you just totally overwhelmed?
05:35It feels good right now.
05:36There is a lot here that I feel like I'm probably not.
05:39I feel like I'm just scratching the surface.
05:41I'm trying to kind of get behind enemies and time my attacks and everything.
05:44But I feel like there's more that I could probably be doing.
05:47Francis, do you have any tips?
05:49Well, what I like to do is, like, when I'm in the middle of battle,
05:52actually, you want to hit triangle to make sure your battle rules are set up.
05:55Okay.
05:56So battle rules are, you know, when you're controlling one character,
06:00battle rules tell the other characters what they should be doing.
06:03Oh, okay.
06:03So it, like, makes your AI smarter.
06:06Great.
06:06And more customized towards how you feel they should be, like, participating in battle.
06:11So Miki, she's usually, we have her with all the healing and support roles.
06:17Okay.
06:17So make sure, like, she's keeping everyone alive when they're dying.
06:20And then I believe Fidel is, like, more of a tank.
06:23Yeah, so vanguard, guardian.
06:24He's, like, he's drawing the enemies towards him.
06:27So they're attacking him.
06:28Oh.
06:28And then Fiori and Victor are, like, dishing out damage, right?
06:32Okay, cool.
06:32So do we feel like this is a pretty good setup?
06:35Yeah.
06:35Yeah, you're good.
06:36So that's the first thing you want to check because sometimes things will change
06:40with, like, you can see, like, there's actually over 100 different roles.
06:43Oh, my goodness.
06:43And you can level them up, Justin.
06:45Yes.
06:45You cannot only level up your characters.
06:47You can level up the roles.
06:49I think they're, skills don't level up directly, right?
06:53But you can unlock them as you go?
06:55Like, character-specific skills or arts?
06:57Character-specific skills you can unlock.
06:59Yeah.
07:00So battle skills you can unlock with these things called tomes that you gather as
07:06you're, like, adventuring through.
07:08And you can also get them from, like, you know, mining and, like, you know.
07:13Oh, my God.
07:15I'm going to make a Bunnylicious Pie.
07:16Bunnylicious Pie.
07:17Please do.
07:18Justin, this is the reason PlayStation Underground was brought to the masses.
07:23To make Bunnylicious Pie.
07:25To create Bunnylicious Pie.
07:26Can we eat it?
07:27And grilled fish.
07:28Make a grilled fish.
07:29No, I just want the pie.
07:30Okay.
07:31All right.
07:31Let's keep going.
07:32Okay.
07:33So if you hit, like, options, you can see the map, the full map,
07:37so you can see where you should be going.
07:39Oh, okay.
07:40Here we go.
07:40So you're pretty close.
07:40You actually want to head towards those Dracurnian Dunes.
07:43Okay.
07:44Let's go.
07:44Yes, you do.
07:45This way.
07:47Yes.
07:47Your cartography skills.
07:50You spend some SP points and level up your cartography skills.
07:55So, Francis, tell me a little bit more about the battle system.
08:00You were saying how you have to sort of manage the roles of each
08:05character, not just the roles you assign, but also, like, in battle,
08:08as they say, there's damage dealers, there's spell casters.
08:11You can have up to how many folks in battle at once?
08:14Up to seven characters in battle at once.
08:16And six of which you control?
08:17Six you can control, yes.
08:19So you have four right now.
08:20And then the other two, there will be some joining you later.
08:24But you can have, the one you can't control is Relia.
08:27Right.
08:27The one with, like, magical powers.
08:29Super magic powers.
08:29Yeah.
08:30Super magic powers.
08:31Got it.
08:31But, yeah, you can switch between six, and it gets pretty hectic on screen,
08:34as you can tell.
08:35Like, there's only four right now.
08:36It's pretty crazy.
08:38These are actually mini-bosses, so.
08:41Oh, Justin.
08:41Oh.
08:42Yeah.
08:42So one thing I actually didn't tell you about is the reserve rush bar on
08:44the right.
08:45Yeah.
08:45So it says you have a level, like, level one, right?
08:48Uh-huh.
08:48That can actually go all the way up to five.
08:50Oh.
08:50And the higher it is, the more damage it does.
08:53But if you keep it, you can get bonuses, like, SP bonuses, FOL bonuses,
08:59which is, like, the currency, and then experience bonuses, too.
09:03But since you're at a boss, I want you to hit R2 and X at the same time.
09:17You just destroyed it.
09:19Oh, nice.
09:20He's done.
09:20Oh, my gosh.
09:21Yeah.
09:22So that was just a level two one, and he was like, destroy that guy.
09:26That was really cool.
09:27Francis, I am ready for this game.
09:29Please give it to me now.
09:31Right?
09:31It's coming soon.
09:32June 28th.
09:32Yeah.
09:32I actually wrote a short piece out of last time we spoke on PlayStation Blog,
09:37so people can go check it out.
09:38There's the little plug for the day.
09:40Yes.
09:40Go read PlayStation Blog.
09:42Perfect.
09:42More on Star Ocean.
09:44So you saw that was Victor's.
09:46That was Victor's Reserve Rush.
09:47Every character you have that you can control actually has their own Reserve Rush.
09:53Now, do they have a single Reserve Rush or do they have one for each level of Reserve Rush meter?
09:59So they only have one Reserve Rush.
10:00I see.
10:01But they can power it up.
10:02Yes.
10:02Yeah.
10:03Okay.
10:03I see.
10:03Yeah.
10:03Gotcha.
10:04And the way that you level up that bar actually is through, you know,
10:08landing successful attacks.
10:09Okay.
10:10Right?
10:10And not getting, you know, like, damage through your guard.
10:15So, like, if you're guarding and they break your guard, you'll lose some of that.
10:19Yeah.
10:19You don't want people breaking your guard.
10:21No, no, no.
10:22Certainly not.
10:22Square is my guard.
10:23Yeah.
10:24Okay.
10:25And then it sounds like X and Circle do different attacks?
10:28Yes.
10:29You can set your battle skills in the options menu.
10:34You get battle skills, like I said, through those tombs.
10:38But you can, oh, see, you just hit a piece of that.
10:41It was, like, shattered and you lost some of your.
10:43No.
10:44You beat him.
10:45Finished.
10:46Justin, for being thrown into a JRPG at the 10-hour mark,
10:49you're doing a super job.
10:51I'm hanging in there.
10:52Killing it.
10:55All right.
10:56Let's go.
10:56You're almost there.
10:57We're making it.
10:58We're doing it.
10:59Yeah.
11:00What I really like is just the voices.
11:04Yeah.
11:04Because, like, after battle, you, like, you hear them say, like,
11:07oh, that was nothing at all or something like that.
11:09And they all have their own little separate voices and, like,
11:11just kind of adds to the experience.
11:13It's kind of cool.
11:14And you can actually choose between the English or Japanese dialogue tracks,
11:18right?
11:18Yes.
11:18Dual audio, which I'm sure a lot of people will be happy about.
11:21Yeah, that's great.
11:22A lot of people, including myself.
11:23Yes.
11:24Do you understand Japanese?
11:25Nope.
11:26But I always appreciate the option.
11:29Yes.
11:29That's what the subtitles are for.
11:31Options are good.
11:31Yes.
11:31Absolutely.
11:34Look at Fidel just doing work.
11:36Is there any sort of timing element to the battle here?
11:38It feels very, it feels kind of like a dance here.
11:41Yes.
11:41So it's kind of like a rock, paper, scissors system.
11:46Oh, okay.
11:46So you can do a guard.
11:47But if they do a hard attack or, like, a large attack, it'll break through your guard
11:51and you'll lose some of that reserve rush bar.
11:54I see.
11:55But if you, if they're doing, like, a large attack and you do a small attack,
11:59it'll interrupt their life.
12:00Oh, okay.
12:02And, um, guard.
12:03But a guard blocks against light attacks.
12:04Yes, exactly.
12:05Okay.
12:06Cool.
12:06So the more successful you are in that regard, the higher your reserve rush bar goes.
12:11And you can do more of those cool reserve rushes.
12:14Meanwhile, Victor was just, like, paralyzed right now.
12:18Oh, so you can use a potion to unparalyze him if we have.
12:21Nah, he's fine.
12:21Okay.
12:22He'll be all right.
12:23Yeah, okay.
12:24Look at him.
12:25He's just standing there.
12:26He's like, somebody help me.
12:28You guys got this.
12:29He's a cheerleader.
12:30No.
12:30Okay.
12:31Wait.
12:31Okay.
12:32So let's see.
12:33So someone else needs to use the item on him.
12:35Exactly.
12:36Exactamundo.
12:37Do I have the necessary item?
12:39So let's see what we got.
12:40Scroll down.
12:43Cure paralysis.
12:44Go up.
12:44Two up.
12:46No.
12:46One more.
12:46One more.
12:47There he is.
12:48There he is.
12:48Basil.
12:49Oh, yeah.
12:50Okay.
12:51So battle just stops him.
12:52Okay.
12:53Great.
12:56Throw some basil in his mouth.
12:57That will help him.
12:58I need basil.
13:00I need basil.
13:00Stat.
13:02Can't move.
13:03Basil me.
13:05Basil me?
13:06Hey, bro.
13:06Basil me.
13:08Delicious.
13:10Oh, and the touchpad.
13:11I see the touchpad.
13:12If you click it, it zooms in and out on the minimap up there.
13:17What's going on?
13:18Did you forget something?
13:19Uh-oh.
13:19So it does a good job of directing you where you should be going.
13:22So let's hit options and see.
13:24Oh, so that big red star.
13:26Oh, gotcha.
13:27That tells you your objective.
13:28Okay.
13:29I like how Victor was like, ah, dude.
13:32You didn't finish your quest, bro.
13:33You got to go back.
13:35Turn that butt around.
13:37Get the quest done.
13:40Got some vanilla beans.
13:41So ready for this game.
13:43Let's make some coffee.
13:46JRPGs will often make me hungry because they have delicious sounding food.
13:49Especially in Star Ocean games.
13:50Like bunnylicious pie?
13:51Like bunnylicious pie.
13:52Why not?
13:52Can we just get the recipe for that, please?
13:54Now, something looks amok here.
13:56Is something bad about to happen?
13:59Something was about to happen.
14:01Okay.
14:04Oh.
14:04Oh.
14:05Oh, no.
14:05Do you have somebody to talk to?
14:06Oh, yeah, yeah.
14:07Forward.
14:08I actually did the same thing my first time, too.
14:10That guy right there.
14:12Oh.
14:13Oh.
14:14Something's going down.
14:15Oh, snap.
14:16Don't let the enemy use their gleaming sticks.
14:18If by chance you do, don't let them hit you.
14:21No matter what.
14:22All right.
14:23Those weapons may be intimidating when wielded by a group, but they're nothing individually.
14:28Remember, we have chosen this plan precisely because it provides the main force a strategic advantage.
14:34This guy's voice.
14:35All it will provide them is a swift dead.
14:38Now go and do us proud.
14:41Yeah.
14:42Yeah.
14:42I can't tell if these are good guys or bad guys.
14:47These are good guys.
14:49Oh, okay.
14:49You're pretty cool.
14:50Yeah.
14:51You're with them.
14:53Guess I need to wait for them to go in first.
14:55We're doing Operation Snake Eyes, you guys.
14:57There we go.
14:58Let's go.
14:59Member in.
15:03It's like, you guys, the operation has begun.
15:06We walk into the room.
15:08Everyone's dead.
15:09Starting?
15:09Immediately.
15:10We're like, we missed the operation.
15:12Who are you guys doing?
15:13We needed you.
15:14We needed Basil.
15:15They got hit by the gleaming sticks.
15:22Reaping spa.
15:26Francis, maybe you can tell me.
15:28You work at Square Enix.
15:30Yeah.
15:30Why do we all love when the characters yell out the names of spells and skills as they do them?
15:36It's just, you know, if you've played any JRPG in the past decade or so, you just become used to
15:46it.
15:46I feel like it's a staple of the JRPG.
15:50It is, and if they don't say anything after, you know, I've been playing these FPS games and they don't
15:55say anything after their special moves, I'm like, it doesn't feel as special.
15:59It feels so empty.
16:00It doesn't feel special.
16:01It's the same thing in anime.
16:02Yeah.
16:04Oh, there are more people in my party now.
16:06I've got some new friends.
16:07Oh.
16:08So that's Ann and Emerson.
16:10They're also, so you have the core six right now.
16:12Oh, he's got a crossbow.
16:13Yeah.
16:14Oh, snap.
16:14Justin found his main.
16:16Emerson's cool.
16:18So if you hold the button down, you know, hold the circle or X down, it will do, like, an
16:23even larger attack.
16:24Oh.
16:24Yeah.
16:25Great.
16:31Boom.
16:31Whoa.
16:32Nice.
16:34Oh, that's so cool.
16:35I love how much stuff goes on on these games.
16:39It's so great.
16:40Oh, I love it.
16:41So, yeah.
16:41You have the full six with you right now.
16:43You can actually have one more, which is crazy, right?
16:46That's insane.
16:50Kablammo.
16:50Oh, I missed.
16:51Wouldn't it be cool if they had those, like, messages?
16:54Those, like, Batman messages?
16:56Kablammo.
16:56Kablammo.
16:57Kablam.
16:59Oh.
17:00Can't get whatever's in that chest.
17:02It feels cool to just have that giant crew of people running around.
17:05I love you.
17:06Fidel and his entourage.
17:09So here's a bad guy.
17:10His name is Dersul.
17:12Let's get him.
17:14Boom!
17:15He just shot him in the face.
17:19Like, sreel, kablam.
17:21He just stood there.
17:24Oh, yeah.
17:25So Anne is actually my favorite character.
17:26Like, all of her moves, like, just feel so satisfying when she lands him.
17:31Is this coming out when?
17:33June 28th?
17:33June 28th.
17:35Preorder now.
17:36Francis, please just leave the game here when you leave.
17:40And I'll take it from here.
17:41I wish I could.
17:45There is so much going on.
17:47So, yeah, that's cool.
17:48Like, she's a close range fighter.
17:49So even if I'm not next to the enemy, if I just press the attack button,
17:53she'll run it right up to the enemy.
17:55Come all around me.
17:55Do your duty and protect me.
17:57Chase him.
17:59He's like, I'm safe up here, guys.
18:01You'll never catch me here.
18:03No one will catch me on a roof.
18:04None of you have any ranged weapons.
18:07Oh, that guy has a crossbow.
18:08I'm in trouble.
18:10Yeah, let's get him.
18:11Even I was that far away.
18:12I hit the attack button and she ran back over to the enemy.
18:17Let's see her reserve rush.
18:19Ooh, yeah.
18:20Oh, wait, wait, wait.
18:21Do I have it?
18:23Oh, wait.
18:24Okay.
18:25Just wanted to make sure you didn't waste it.
18:26There we go.
18:31Oh, so cool.
18:33Whoa, it kept going.
18:34Yes.
18:35I thought it was over.
18:37I thought it was over after that first blam, kablammo,
18:40and then there was further kablammos afterwards.
18:42Okay.
18:43Now that I'm starting to understand this combat system,
18:45this is really cool.
18:46Right?
18:47There's a lot of skills that can knock the enemies up into the air
18:51and just keep them up there.
18:52Yes.
18:53So it's just like a fighting game in that sense.
18:54Do like air juggles and stuff?
18:57We'll be caught between two separate forces if we don't do something.
19:00I'll show those points.
19:01We don't want that.
19:02Come on, you bastards.
19:04Let's bolt.
19:05Let's bolt.
19:09Nope.
19:10Oh.
19:10I wanted to go chase.
19:11This is actually where it ends.
19:13Oh, okay.
19:14Oh, well, there you go.
19:16We did it.
19:17We did it.
19:17Congratulations, Justin.
19:18You did it.
19:19I didn't die.
19:20Now let's make some of that bunny-licious pie.
19:22Yes.
19:23Star Ocean Integrity and Faithlessness comes to PS4 on June 28th.
